I did not get my run in this morning. I tried eating nice and early but I actually felt kinda full all morning. So I need to try to run first.
Breakfast of Champions: (8:30am) - Cheerios and 2% milk. Actually, it was shoprite brand "toasted O's." Same thing. :-)
Lunch - (12:00pm) Leftover steak and broccoli and yes . . . . . . . you are reading it here . . . . . . . AN APPLE! I was not actually ready for lunch but I had to leave and wanted to eat well before I went out for the afternoon, so I went for it.. That apple was DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!
Snacking - In between Lunch and Dinner, I ahd a whole lot of driving in traffic and baby crying in the back seat. Went to see my dad. Yup, drove down the shore and back on a Friday in the summer. What am I nuts? Anyway, I had a pack of fruit snacks, a rice krispie treat and a granola bar. I know . . . . . 3 snacks? was that necessary? Maybe, maybe not. BUT I will say that usually on a trip like this, I'll stop at the rest stop exit 131 and get Reese's big cups and a red bull and on the way home, I'd usually stop and grab an Auntie Anne's pretzel or something at Burger King to hold me over until dinner. So my 3 little packaged snacks - - -- - pretty good! AND I turned down a creme filled coffee cake too!
Dinner - I have had some pork marinating in Cajun sauce all day and that was supposed to be dinner. BUT I had my pizza craving. SOOOOO, I made some pizza at home. Grabbed a dough from Zizia. (Sorry, Mike and Richie, I just couldn't do any more driving, otherwise I would have come and gotten it from you!) I made a cheese pizza, a cheese with ricotta, a sausage, a hot sauce, and a sausage w/hot sauce. All pictured below. All this was made with just 1 crust, which you can get for $3-4 at most pizza shops.
The pizzas on the left came out much better in the end. I think I needed to cook the ones on the right a little longer. PLUS, the ones on the left - I had initially not put enough cheese on them, but then halfway through, i added more cheese. It came out AWESOME!!!!!
I probably ate a little more than I should have, but to be honest, it was hard to measure really. I feel like I ate a lot, but while I think about it, it doesn't really seem like I had all that much. I have no measure but I will say that we did not finish everything there between us, so I didn't quite eat half of what you see.
**A little tip for those of you who have tried to make pizzas at home but they always come out soggy (This used to be a problem I had until someone set me straight)
You need to heat the pizza stone up for 30-60 minutes prior to making the pizza. THEN build the pizza on top of the hot stone. It heats up and cooks the dough just a little bit before it goes in the oven with all the ingredients on it. Comes out perfectly crisp on the bottom. So glad that I was set on the right path! I had been really frustrated about this issue the first few times I made pizza.
