Jerk Chicken Fingers & Caribbean Rice...

I marinated the chicken in a jerk dressing and then breaded in jerk seasoned bread crumbs. I then bake them off at 400 degrees until done, usually 15-20 min. I then made a jerk dipping sauce for them, along with the Caribbean rice and sweet peas. The kid doesn't eat the rice, so the peas were more for him than anyone.

Chicken Caesar salad from Kroger

The good thing about the salad is that it is only 200 calories. The bad thing is that it wasn't very tasty. I threw in a handful of pretzel sticks but this will likely be the last time for the Kroger single-serve salad.

Breakfast Rd 1&2

First thing was a protein shake. I added some greek yogurt today  and don't think i'll be doing that again. Made it too thick.


round 2 was some eggs and broccoli with some white tea

Parma Tavern- Mista Salad and Capri Burger

In that slump where there isn't time/money to go have a huge grocery trip. We still have to eat, it's in our nature I guess. Stopped by Parma Tavern since we had a free entree coupon.

I sorta forgot to take a pic until after it was over though. What you're looking at is what used to be a mista side-salad (my favorite salad ever, so simple and so delicious) and a capri burger (no bun b/c I'm carbophobic right now). The capri is not usually my first choice in burgers there but for some reason it was last night. Burger meat topped with some mozzarella, marinara and basil. It was actually better tasting (and prettier) without the bun.






Bonus pic!!! Bunch of people ordered some shots so the bartender gave us a couple extra. Tasted like applesauce. Beginning to my wife's birthday weekend.

Pre-Krava Maga Snack

I like to have some food about an hour before I train, something light usually and with protein/fat. makes me feel better and stuff. As you can see, the choice was string cheese. My second piece.

Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate

With raspberry filling! It's my afternoon treat for myself. And healthy, too!

5 Benefits of Dark Chocolate

Waffle for Breakfast....

Nuff said!

Chin Chin 7

Ordered in some expensed food from Chin Chin. Went with steamed fish, shrimp, scallops and vegetables. It came with "house special sauce" which was pretty much soy sauce. I got a side of red thai curry sauce (to the right).

Italian BMT from Subway

The Thursday special at Subway is the Italian BMT. Got a six-inch on Italian Herbs and Cheese, with baked BBQ Lay's chips and a diet coke. Only $3.99 plus tax. Good deal.

The Perfect Grilled Cheese Sandwich...

Captain John Durst Bread, 2 slices of American Cheese, butter in the pan and spread over the top piece of bread...simple perfection. I will sometimes throw tomato or bacon in here as well, but today it was just the classic version.

My lunch today

Campbell's Chunky Beef and Dumpling Soup (with about 3 dumplings in it) and a pack of PB/Cheez crackers. Diet Mtn. Dew not pictured.
