Why am I doing this?

Hello everyone or no one... ... I have started this blog as a sort of diary. I haven't been all that happy with my physical self as of late and am beginning to remedy these feelings. I thought that this might be a good place to go when I have things to say and no one to really say them to. So enjoy, laugh at, or relate to all that is to follow. Andi

Made Sloppy Joes tonight!

So this evening I tried making some sloppy joes...  One again I visites skinnytaste.com and found a couple of recipes to make for dinner.  The second was some baked, seasoned fries.

As is becoming usual, I substituted a few things, but the original recipe can be found <here>.

Andi's Chicken Sloppy Joes... :)

  • 16 oz ground Chicken
  • 1 Tbsp Seasoning Salt
  • 1 carrot, minced
  • 1 med onion, minced
  • 1/4 cup green pepper, minced
  • 4 oz mushrooms, minced
  • 1 heaping tsp of mince garlic
  • 1 Tbsp red cooking wine
  • 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1-2 Cups Tomato Sauce (to taste)
Chop all vegies really fine in a chopper or processor

Brown Chicken, Seasoning Salt, and garlic in large Skillet and then add onion, carrots, mushrooms, and pepper to the skillet.  Reduce heat, add wine and worcestershire, simmer for 5 minutes.  Add tomato sauce until desire consistency is reached and simmer another 5 minutes.

Yields about 7 1/2 cup servings. at 2.5 points each.

I gave the family a choice of a regualr white bun... or a healthier whole wheat flat bun...  we were split 50/50.  I, of course, went with the whole grain choice to add another 3 points pus.    Nice sandwich for 5.5 points!!!

Even with the french fries at 4 points for a full medium size potato, the meal was under 10 points!!!
