Blue Monday

OK, not really blue.  But it IS Monday.  I was admonished by the friendly WW website for loosing weight too quickly.  So I mentally told it to fuck off and then I packed my lunch.

I am currently in love with chicken.  Really because I have a 3 breasts to cook, and just little ol' me to cook for.

Sunday I made some kind of Shish Taouk which, for the uninitiated is a Shish Kebab.  This is the recipe I used as a jumping off point.  Except I was almost out of cumin, so I used the dash of it I had and added ground coriander and tumeric.  And also some plain yogurt.  And plain chicken is boring when you have some fresh shrimp, so I threw those in to the marinade mixture and let the whole thing sit for about 2 hours.  Skewered the poor meats and broiled the chicken and then the shrimp.  Served over chopped endive, because that's what was in the fridge.  And other than the greens being a bit bitter, the whole thing was damn good.

Today I've made up and packed some lemon pepper chicken bits for lunch.  Easy and tasty too.

I'm thinking about treating myself to some Mexican for dinner tonight.  Yay Mexican food!  Chicken fajitas are just 8 points for two.  I'm going for it.
