Weekend Eats #2

Before I get into my weekend eats, I calculated the nutritional stats for the cookies I made yesterday. I thought they tasted great, not too sweet and the texture was nice and soft.

Friday evening, we had an amazing triple date night and I treated myself to Ruth Chris’ steak sandwich (since they are known for their steak) for dinner. The food was amazing & happy hour was fantastic!!!

Ahi tuna for the table and another another pomegranate martini for me!

I had more coconut flour pancakes one day for breakfast and then switched it up and had soyrizo with 1 egg/2 egg whites in a whole wheat pita with salsa & avocado the next day.

Dinner at a Mexican restaurant was a small bowl of soup and chicken fajitas. Here’s how I like to cut the calories on my fajita plate:

no tortillas
usually ask for no cheese on the beans (scraped that off)
order sour cream and guac on side (I don’t eat the sour cream and only eat a little of the guac)
Eat all my chicken, veggies and beans with extra salsa

Capped the weekend off with an early Thanksgiving feast at mom’s & dad’s house…turkey, tri-tip, mashed potatoes, spicy sweet potatoes & stuffing. I took my tweaking of the stuffing a little overboard with all the added veggies, so I called it a low-carb stuffing. Oh well, I thought it still taste good!

Then of course, I had to try out the pie! I had a small piece of crumbled apple pie and a piece of pumpkin pie and whip, because you know, it’s just not complete without it!
