I had pizza, and cake

Well today we had a work party.  With pizza and cake.  I had "5" slices of pizza.   But these were teeny, about 1.25 inches wide.  And a had a sliver of cake.   But I did well with breakfast and dinner.   And I came out under 1600 calories.  Which is amazing.  And right at my target of 1400-1600 calories per day.  Yeah! 

And yesterday I was starving at the grocery store.  Bad move.  I had sample of cake.  It was small, maybe and ounce.  But it was another light dinner for me. 

So I think my lesson of the day is to plan ahead for indulgences.  So you can fit them in.  But I have brunch planned this weekend.  Hopefully I can still make my goal.

Bargain food tip of the week?  I found these great frozen sole fillets at whole foods.  They defrost in about 10 minutes in some cool water.  They are vacuum packed as individual fillets, so great for solo meals.  They cook really fast.  So while they are defrosting, you have time to prep a really quick sauce.  Or use salsa.  Tips for sauce:  parsley caper sauce (puree parsley, a tablespoon of capers, the juice of 1/2 lemon, a clove of garlic, 2 tablespoons of nice extra virgin olive oil and some water into a smooth paste in the blender or food processor.  Use it on chicken, steak, fish, shrimp or chickpeas.)

Happy eating and have a great weekend!

Sole food

Love the idea of sole fillets - I do a similar thing with individually packed salmon fillets.  Plonk them in warm water for a few minutes while chopping up onion, mushrooms, sweetcorn (not that you chop sweetcorn!), then mixing it all up around the fish in a pan with soy sauce, teriyaki and five spice.  Bung in the oven for 15/20 mins and serve with cous cous.  YUM!
