Today is my shopping day. I planned out meals yesterday and tried to also pick stuff for next week. I do not like shopping with a crowd so I tried to stock up on some things so I can skip the busy stores before Thanksgiving. Came home from shopping and I was excited to prepare lunch. Of course seeing all of the yummy Mexican food last night made me plan for a delicious lunch this week. I added some black beans to the food processor to make a fake refried bean mix. Added in just a tablespoon of salsa to get things blended up nicely. I cut up and sauteed some red bell peppers and an onion to top off my lunch- Check out these bad boys! YUM!
This was a delicious LOW POINT lunch! I used the Mission brand THIN corn tortillas (2 for 1pt) 1/2 cup of black beans (1) 1 tablespoon of light sour cream(1) Oh, and check out this enchilada sauce I picked up at Trader Joe's- (1/4 cup is 1 pt) I only used 2 tablespoons to drizzle a little flavor on top of the tostadas. YUM!
I have a container of bean mixture and peppers and onions in the fridge for this weeks lunches. I love when I can make things at home that I would pay to eat at a restaurant-and WAY healthier! :)Ok time to lift some weights and do leg exercises. Yes, you heard me right. I also did some yoga poses and my physical therapy stretches while I watched my DVRed Desperate Housewives. :)
Dinner tonight is a BIG shrimp salad. I will take pictures later for you all. :) Hope everyone has a great day! BYE!
OOH! I almost forgot... We stopped by a used book store yesterday and I came across this book. Fit From Within by- Victoria Moran. As I flipped through it just some of the chapter titles caught my attention- seems interesting! :)
BYE! :)

That looks like a great book! You should review it as you read it. Your lunch looks totally sinful!
Your lunch looks awesome. Thanks for such great ideas :)
your lunch looks great...I make a 'mexican coleslaw' that I just love.
It is green cabbage shredded, green pepper (shredded), carrot shredded, and then you take a tsp of oil and saute it till it's tender crisp. I don't know, but I love this stuff.They serve it at three margeritas and I liked it so much i asked the waitress. I was surprised how simple it was...and low cal to boot. lol.
I like planning to have a special meal. I get the feeling of accomplishment for having planned well and I get to eat something nummy. victory.
I love the GET COMFORTABLE WITH YOUR UNCLAD SELF.
That is a concept I should rent my Toddler out to teach to the masses :)
Miz.
Book looks very interesting. You'll have to let us know if it is.
Mission's site didn't have a store locator on it. I will look today when I'm out for the corn tortillas...hope I can find them!
