However, it does mean that all the students are gone! YAY! It's SO quiet around here!!! AND it means the dininghall is closed. While it stinks because we have to spend money on food, it's exciting because I really do love to cook. :D I have started cooking more lately, but really cant justify spending money on a full month of groceries when we get to eat for free everyday. This week I get to though! So I am excited :D
The menu this week looks like this:
Monday- Chicken Pot Pie w/ Zucchini
Tuesday- Bubble Up Enchiladas with Cilantro Lime Rice
Wednesday- Crab Cakes w/ sauteed asparagus and roasted potatoes (milkshakes for dessert!)
Thursday- NC Pulled Pork w/ sweet potatoes fries
Friday- Mexican Pulled Chicken Tacos (I've made this before but it's just too yummy not to make. I also made it will pork last time, but since we are doing pork on Thursday I decided on chicken instead)
Saturday- Parmesan Crusted Chicken w/ squash and garlic bread
I am SO excited! Most of all MOST of the above is a low-cal recipe and ALL of it is pretty simple. It was also not that expensive! The crab was ridiculous, but the rest was not too bad at all! The chicken was on uber sale and most other stuff I got discounted! I played it smart :D
So far I have made the chicken pot pie- which is always delicious! I actually went ahead and made 2! We ate part of one, had leftovers and then I froze the other for some other time when we dont want to eat at the dininghall or want to cook :D While I made the pot pie I also make some Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal Muffins- they are fab too! And only 147 cals each- my breakfast the past few days :D
I also made the bubble up enchiladas. They are to die for. It was REALLY simple too. I found the recipe on pinterest and it just so happens to be a weight watcher recipe:D We had a lot of leftovers, so guess what I had for lunch! MMMM! Here is a link to the recipe: Bubble up Enchiladas . Next time, I want to make them a bit more mexicany. Enjoy!
Krystal also shared a new blog with me today called Dashing Dish- Katie, the girl who writes the blog, is just amazing. She takes the food we crave and makes a healthier alternative that still tastes great- hence the only reason we are having milkshakes tonight- they are only 215 calories! There are TONS of recipes to check out! Most of all I love her blog because she gives all the credit to Lord and truly lives her life for Him. It's very inspirational! I would love to have the kind of focus she has on her relationship with Him. So, I will be taking some of her suggestions when it comes to reading the bible and I'll let you know how that goes too! :D
