After running around all day and cleaning and preparing my food for Monday I was too tired for anything fancy. I went looking in my full freezer and got out one of the box dinners I’ve had for a bit. I put it in the oven for about 40 minutes and tada, dinner!
It was actually very good. I added a salad and Pilsbury roll along with it. I got kinda full eating all that food!
I got so full I had to share with the pups!
Pork is a meat that is exceptionally healthy for you. Unfortunately for me, chicken, eggs and steak overshadow eating pork, but not tonight!
I found some great already cut-up pre-packaged pork tenderloins by Smithfield. Each piece is about 120 calories, 3 grams of fat and 21 grams of protein. The kind I got was teriyaki flavor. All you must do is pour a little olive oil in a skillet and cook on medium for about 5 minutes each side.
Lean cuts of pork are rich in protein, zinc, B12 and iron. An all around great meat!
I also added some Bushs Baked Beans, normally I don’t eat these because of the high sugar but I was craving them! Plus, they are low in fat and good for fiber. Last I added couscous salad which had peas, carrots, raisins, chick peas and green beans! Yum Yum Yum!
Even Bartleby had his dinner!

I decided that the pups need a good bath! I don’t think they enjoyed it too much but they were good about it!
I have a special treat for dinner; Tomato Pie! I learned about Tomato Pie from the local vegetarian that is in my office. It sounds odd but it tastes sooo amazing! It tastes a lot like pizza. Here is what you will need:
Here are the steps to making this delicious pie:
1. First put the oven to about 375 and put just the pie in for about 10 minutes
2. Put the whole can (juice and all) of crushed or diced tomatoes into the pie shell.
3. Next spread the mayo on top. Don’t use too much otherwise it tastes like a Mayo-Pie! Just put on enough to layer over the tomatoes. Next add the spices on top, I put on pepper, Parmesan cheese, basil, rosemary and oregano. Pop in the oven for 25 minutes
4. After baking for about 25 mintues take it out of the oven. It should have a golden look and the crust should have a nice brown look
5. Last step is to cover the pie with the shredded Mozzarella. After I’ve covered the pie I like to add just a sprinkle of the spices once more. Pop it back into the oven for about 15-20 more ,minutes or until cheese has completely melted.
Now it’s time for dinner! I added a side salad and viola!
Now for dessert! So yummy! It’s a peanut butter chocolate square from Earthfare along with some fresh strawberries, raspberries and organic chocolate sauce!!
P.S. This is totally un-food related but as I’m eating I’m watching my DVR. Anyone else seen the show Southland on NBC?? If you haven’t you MUST watch it. It’s so so so very good!
But where are the pups…..?
Mylo was on the bed resting
Where’s that little Bartleby???
Little Baby…..!
He’s hiding under the bed!!!
Off to bed now, sweet dreams everyone!
Well as soon as I was leaving work the bottom fell out! I debated whether or not to actually go to the gym but I’m glad I did!
I did shoulders and triceps. While I was there I had a huge bodybuilder come up to me and say my legs were almost as big as his! (actually his were huge but the fact that someone said I had big muscular legs boosted my ego! :p)
On to Dinner!!
I decided to cook my salmon since I had taken it out the night before. Got to get in my omega-6′s.
I started off with some asparagus first I pre-heated the oven to 400, then i washed and cut the asparagus, added some Extra Virgin Olive Oil, sprinkled some salt and pepper and sprayed a little bit of butter. I cooked it for about 40 minutes, or until it got tender
Now for the salmon! I had very thin Salmon I got in the cold section of the grocery, it’s by Vita. I added a sauce on top. My Salmon was thin and small so you will need to adjust the measurements according to how big of a fish you are cooking:
I left the oven at 400 and popped the fish in for about 8 minutes. The fish was cut into little slices, they kind of fell apart as I put them on the plate :p! A nice glass of milk topped it all off!
Even the boys had their own tastey and healthy dinner! Pup chow and egg yolk! Yummy and shiny coats for them!
