Tonight was a clean out the fridge leftover feast. Salmon, Scallops, mixed veggies, brown rice and then strawberry shortcake for dessert

Last night, when I got home from my ride, I had some trail mix from cumbies and a bunch of candy from my Sister's wedding. Very nutritious... :roll:

Took a bunch of stuff out of the freezer for this week, looks like chicken cacciatore is on deck for tonite. I steeze it up with italian sausage for sandwiches, wifey likes it without. Everybody wins.

I ended up with a big bowl of ice cream for dinner. Kinda defeats the exercise value of the ride.

That reminds me, I had an ice cream cone too..

I had a nice light and healthy grilled salmon and orzo dinner before the ride. After the ride I ate half a bag of salt and pepper potato chips. :lol:

I didn't mention what I had before the ride because I mostly couldn't remember. I have since remembered that I had a (un)healthy helping of Doritos and some other assorted junk food.

Yeah, I'm doing real good with the nutrition thing lately... :roll:

:lol:

I have not a clue what dinner tonight will be. Have to book on over to my parents' house pretty much right at when we should be having dinner for ice cream cake for my dad's birthday. So whatever we eat, it will be quick and easy.

I'm almost always thinking about dinner 24 hours in advance. Typically, once I finish dinner at night, I'm seeing what I've got in the fridge for meats and get a marinade going for the next nights meal.

I go with what the mood strikes me, for the most part. Never been good about planning ahead food-wise. I have to see what I feel like eating that day.

I can see that POV

I guess when I start prepping the night before it pretty much puts me in the mood for what I'm going to eat the next day as I'm excited to see how good it will taste. I'm kind of a freak about cooking / food though .....would've been a chef if I didn't know long ago that I wasn't going to want to work nights, weekends and holidays forever
