I'm doing this a little early today because I have drama practice tonight for the spring play and my husband's coming home and we're leaving in the morning for the mountains. So I tried some new food combinations today (and liked them), but I just have to say that too much of some foods can have some "side effects" that you may want to consider. I'm not saying avoid those foods-- probably just don't want to eat them two days in a row. I don't know if it's proper to say this on a blog or not... but cabbage smells bad when you're cooking it and it causes some gas. Sorry... had to say it. That gas is wretched smelling. I had to look to see if someone else had caused it because I was pretty sure something that horrid had not came out of me. I hope that doesn't offend anyone who stumbles across my blog but people should be warned.
So my interesting combinations today were the following: wheatables w/tuna and baked potato w/left-over homemade spahetti sauce and low-fat cheese. Now I'm sure people have tried both of this many times, but they were firsts for me. The tuna is best using the pouch (starkist light is what I used). However, I would recommend taking a little container or paper plate to dump it on because the best part of the pouch is not having to use a can opener and drain the water off. This always makes my hands stink even after washing them. If you don't take a container to dump the tuna in from the pouch, you end up reaching in with your fork and eventually your fingers get tuna on them. Don't add mayo or anything- -you really don't need it. The wheatables (or whatever cracker you use) has plenty of flavor. I really liked it and it was filling.
Here was my day of eating and I have added the popcorn I will eat tonight as I watch a movie w/my hubby. :D
