I’ve recently rediscovered AllRecipes.com Fun stuff. I’ve always pulled up last minute dinner or potluck ideas from there but now it has taken a whole new turn… food pics! I’m one of those annoying people that take pictures of what they are eating. Now, i can magically upload them into the site where i  found the receipe, or even upload my own so people can see my food pics. 

This really shouldn’t be as excited about this, i’m sure it will be just another site i forget about in a few months… but for now… sweet!

Half cup of Cucumbers: 10 ( i love how low cal cucumbers are!!!)

1Tablespoon of veggie dip: 55

After that I went on to make my lunch… Yes I cooked.. Be very shocked. 

Turkey Breast (4oz): 194

1 Cup Pasta: 200

2 Cups Mixed veggies (Cali flower, Brocolli, and carrots): 60

total for the meal: 

Cal: 454  Carbs:51  Protien:42 Fat:8

And I must say- I am stuffed. In a good way.

While the government can be credited with passing strong laws to protect women, these laws are rarely enforced, and additional protections are needed. more.

A fabulous restaurant that was not expensive at all that we found via the No Reservations blog from the Istanbul Episode. Awesome food…truly awesome. Other awesome thing: no one spoke a damn bit of English, which made for a good adventure.
