So, since I had no plan yesterday, I ran to Whole Foods at lunch and I was going to get a salad, but when I was walking the aisles, I saw the Amy’s frozen lunches. I saw the tortilla bowl and looked at the nutritional information. Not bad! 380 calories, 18 grams of fat and 9 grams of fiber. I also picked up a bag of Guiltless Gourmet Tortilla Chips. I’ve never tried them before, but what I liked was that you got 18 chips per serving at 120 calories per serving.
And then I would put some of the black beans on the chip…
I didn’t like it at all!
Just kidding, if I could have licked the bowl I would have!!
And it’s weigh in Friday again! The weeks are flying by.
I was EXACTLY the same!! I always think that’s weird when you work out differently, eat different things, yet stay the same… but hey, I am glad its not up!
Today is going to be a challenge at work. We have our annual Turkey Day Potluck. With 50 people bringing food, grilling out burgers and brats, its going to be hard. But, a bunch of people play tag football afterwards, and I am going to play and burn some calories!
I am bringing turkey meatballs.
This is the recipe. One of my coworkers brought this last year and they were amazing!
GRAPE JELLY MEATBALLS
2 12 oz jars Heinz chili sauce
1 32 oz jar grape jelly
1 bag meatballs (about 80 in a bag)
Put chili sauce and jelly in a large pot, heat until jelly is melted and sauce is smooth, stirring often. Add frozen meatballs; heat until meatballs are thawed and then simmer for 3 hours.
I know it sounds disgusting, but trust me, they taste AMAZING. These will be simmering at my desk all morning in my crock pot before the party so I am going to have to be strong and not eat a ton before it even starts!
Have a wonderful Friday everyone!!

I JUST bought that Amy’s bowl – I can’t wait to try it – maybe I will have it today!
Enjoy your work party!

LOL about the grape jelly… imagine what they tried before they found this combination.
don’t be too results oriented. weigh ins can vary depending on what day and what time (some people retain water, I retain beer from the night before).
sample only at the party, small portions and eat very slowly. Don’t grab empty calories (crackers and bread), stick to veggies as much as possible… and one meal does not ruin your efforts

I love Amy’s frozen foods. I have never tried this bowl, but it looks and sounds delicious!
Have fun at the potluck!

I like some Amy’s products (some soups, for instance) but tend to really dislike the pre-made meals. The exception has been the Mexican stuff, which I like. (the Indian is WRETCHED)
So, this is one to try for me. Wish they’d go more low-sodium, though.

Your lunch looks really good – I’m going to have to try it.
I’ve made that same sauce recipe for meatballs and it IS good! Today I saw in my Cooking Light magazine where they used a can of cranberry sauce instead of the grape jelly…so I may have to give that a try.
Hope your potluck day went well…and too bad about not losing this week – sometimes it doesn’t make any sense, does it?

My wife has done a similar recipe with the tiny sausages. They are so good!

LOVE those grape jelly meatballs!
The Amy’s foods are always surprisingly delicious. The only problem I’ve found w/ them is sometimes the stats look awesome, but the serving will be 2 or 3, so it’s kind of deceiving.
