Crockpot Round Steak

CROCKPOT ROUND STEAK

5 lb. round steak
1 carton (32 oz) beef broth
1 lb. mushrooms, sliced
1 huge onion, cut in half and sliced
Heavy cream

Place all ingredients except cream in a large crockpot. Cook until meat is tender. Stir in cream just before serving.

(The cream makes it creamy w/o cheating - it's considered a fat, not dairy!)

Food Today

Back on track! Again...

Breakfast - banana
Lunch - crockpot meal - round steak cooked in beef broth, mushrooms, onions, heavy cream; carrots w/butter and cinnamon
Supper - salad - baby Romaine w/honey mustard; multi-grain pasta w/butter, oo, fresh parsley; 2 cookies

Two Meals of Ordering In...

Yep. You read that right... Circumstances were such today that I couldn't cook :-( And I didn't have a way to pick up anything. So we ordered in twice. I didn't do great but I didn't do horrible.

Breakfast - nada :-(
Lunch - grilled chicken in salad (iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, cucumbers) w/organic ranch; Ghirardelli square
Afternoon - 1/2 cup coffee w/usual
Supper - pizza - mushroom, onion, bell pepper; piece of brownie cake

I had the choice at supper between Chinese and pizza. I've been having a slight MSG reaction after Chinese food lately. So my choices were Chinese that would technically be on my eating plan but cause a reaction, or pizza that wasn't on my plan but that I likely wouldn't react to. I think I made the right choice!

Sleep?!

Gabriel woke up at 4:30am for a bottle and I never got back to sleep :( I don't feel too bad considering. I was able to stay on track though!

Breakfast - banana, apple juice later, banana later
Lunch - tuna salad in salad LOL - tuna, mayo, dill relish, pepper, bell pepper in baby Romaine, Ghirardelli square
Supper - peas w/butter, biscuits (canned) w/butter, small piece of brownie cake

I missed eating Triscuits with my tuna :( Especially since Jesse ate his on a toasted whole wheat bagel! The bell pepper was my attempt at adding the crunch I missed. It helped :)

Back on Track...

For today at least :P We had an exhausting few days so the boys and I relaxed today. Well, I did as much housework as possible considering Gabriel spent almost the whole day eating on me or sleeping on me! Smorgasbord for supper tonight - whatever leftovers you could find were fair game ;)

Breakfast - watermelon
Lunch - baked cod (w/lime juice and Essence), broccoli w/butter and S&P, Ghirardelli square
Supper - baked beans, fries w/mayo and ketchup, french bread w/butter, few bites broccoli/carrots, chocolate pancakes

What Eating Plan?!

So I totally blew it today :P When we got home last night I was so tired! Today's lunch was supposed to go in the crockpot before bed, and, well, it didn't happen :( I was going to pick up a rotisserie chicken after church but Jesse suggested eating out and my best friend and her family were eating out so we all went together. We had a great time! I could have made healthier choices but I didn't totally blow it either. Till "supper." I wasn't hungry but I wanted a piece of birthday cake (darn AF!) so I ate a little piece instead of supper. Tomorrow's another day...

Breakfast - 1/2 cup coffee w/the usual, banana later, apple juice later
Lunch - Italian buffet - seafood pizza, veggie pizzas, dessert pizza (topping only)
"Supper" - brownie cake

Party!

Today was Ethan's birthday party! I didn't get a lot of sleep but what I got was really restful! Usually happens when I'm taking all my supplements...

Breakfast - 1/2 cup coffee w/the usual, apple juice later
Lunch - same as yesterday
At party - piece of brownie cake
Supper - Chili's - onion rings, veggie burger w/usual, few bites fries, few bites broccoli/carrots, few bites molten chocolate cake sans ice cream
