WIAW #1

One of the blogs I follow called Peas and Crayons (which is an amazing blog btw) does this WIAW (What I Ate Wednesday). Thought I would join in on the fun!



I actually am doing what I ate yesterday. Pfft day one and I am not even doing it right! lol

I had a very busy day of cooking new things yesterday but I actually ate horrible. I had red pepper hummus & reduced fat wheat thins. Which is one of my favorite things ever. I was planning on making cream cheese wontons. I was using the deep fryer my husband begged and wanted oh so badly for Christmas like 3 Christmases ago but has never been taken out of the box... So I had to unpack it, clean it and figure out how to use it.

The deep fryer is actually really nice and will be fun to use sometimes. But I am a moron and thought the almost full small bottle of oil would be enough. It was not...so my husband said he would go to the store and grab some quick. Three hours later I was still waiting... so yeah. He finally did go though so yay.

The cream cheese wontons are super easy to make and oh so yummy. My sister would get them at Panda Express & decided to try and make them herself and found a recipe online. You just take creamcheese, garlic to taste, add green onions = mix all that together. Scoop into wonton wrappers, wet the edges to seal. Then fry them up until golden brown. I love that the edges get all crispy but the center stays a bit moist. Even the DH loved them and pretty much ate all of them.

Then for dinner I decided to make lasagna rolls. I had seen it on pinterest using pepperoni. But I decided to make them with italian sausage instead.  I also had them at Olive Garden before. They turned out great. Very yummy. I need to remember next time to separate the noodles right away or they start to all stick together. Many noodles lost their lifes being ripped apart. RIP.

It was not as pretty as I had hoped. But delicious, and that is what really matters. I used ricotta mixed with 2 huge handfuls of spinach chopped, some garlic, a few shakes of parmesan cheese & mozzarella. Italian sausage and a store bought prego light & smart sauce.

This morning I got up and took my morning walk. It was not a great start to my day really. I woke up right before the alarm when off- which is great. I feel so much more awake when I do that. I have to adjust my morning routine though because it takes me FOREVER to get out the door. Like 45 mins. I just am so slow in the morning.

I walked 0.95 miles for 23.30 mins & it felt like it was going to kill me. Meh so out of shape right now. I am being positive about it because I know right now it may feel like a killer but as I keep doing it things will get better. 

Tonight for dinner will be leftovers with a nice salad. I am planning on making Chicken & Avocado salad for lunch. Instead of mayo using greek yogurt. Because ewww mayo.

Pet Wise:

Switching my kitties food. I am going to start giving them wet alittle at first and upping it so they mostly eat wet. I am also going to switch their dry to a different brand. I will be sure to mix it in with their old brand so they slowly adjust. No Worries!

Trixie is working on loose leash walking & stay/release/recall. I am making some slow progress. It takes alot of effort & patience.
