Beware salad eaters...

What a day! What a day! I have been super busy today, and it seems like when you are really busy, it is even harder to stay on track.

I woke up and quickly made a Mexican Egg Scramble. It was very very tasty. Usually, I am thrown off by the texture of black beans in the morning, but it was just the right amount.

For lunch I took a page out of Rocco Dispirito's book Now Eat This! ; I made the Grilled Turkey Salisbury Steaks with Tomatoes and Provolone Sauce. I just made a bunch of turkey burgers from ground meat at the beginning of the week (similar to what I do with chicken).

The sauce is:
1 cup evaporated skim milk
1 tbsp cornstarch
1/2 cup shredded sharp provolone cheese (though I used 1.2 provolone and 1/2 horseradish cheese)

Whisk the skim milk and cornstarch together, add it to a sauce pan. Whisking continuously, allow the mixture to thicken and boil. Reduce heat and whisk in cheese. Be careful because burnt diary is super gross. This is by far one of my favorite meals. It's great to grill up with some onions and tomatoes.

Dinner was a little bit of a challenge. I met my wonderful friend at Pf Changs. I did not know until today that it is ranked among the 30 Worst Fast-Food Restaurants (source: Fitness Magazine). There are, however, healthy alternatives: Mahi-Mahi, Asian Ginger Salmon, and Lemon Scallops. According to our adorably nice waiter, the Mahi-Mahi is deceiving because the sauce it almost completely butter. I opted for the Scallops, and they were just as delicious as any other fattening thing on the menu, but they were the healthy option. For those non-seafood lovers out there, you can ask for your food to be "vegetable stock velveted" - what that means is, instead of cooking the food in horrible fatty oils, the food is cooked in a vegatable, or chicken stock if you ask for "chicken stock velveted."

For those salad lovers out there BEWARE - the Chicken Chopped Salad with Ginger Dressing is a whopping 940 calories, 68g fat, 10g saturated fat, and 2,225 mg of sodium - NOT ALL SALADS ARE HEALTHY!! If you go out to eat, google your restaurant before you go there. Do you research; I did, and instead of feeling like I was about to go into cardiac arrest when I was done, I felt full, but energized.

Unfortunately, I didn't have time to workout, but tomorrow I will be hitting the gym super hard again!
