First Day Back

Well we arrived back on Texas soil last night at about 9:45.  We were thrilled!  It was a long day of being in the airport.  And a great example of thinking you are prepared and then life happens. 

The resort sends you off with a list of "safe"resturants in LAX and calorie counts for the menu options at the safe places...  So we had our plan, we would eat lunch at Subway and then go ahead and buy our dinner there too for the flight, and we would be just fine.  Welllll there is no subway where we were located in that airport! Sooo we pulled out the list and Outback was on there and RIGHT in front of our gate/ terminal thingy! Soooo there is where we would go.  Once we got in there, we found they do not serve a full menu and the "safe" items that were on the list were not served there. Sooooo we left! Obviously hungry we did not know what we would do, so we ventured down the way and found a nice premade salad and it did not have calorie counts on it, but it was basically lettuce and tomatoe.  Soooo we got that and split a turkey sandwich.  But were were not able to get nutrition info, so we were really cautious to even eat that.  But we did, and thought well DFWwill have a subway. We will just have to eat our dinner there later than usual... THEY didnt... at least near our gate. Sooooo we waited til we got home, and then we went to Taco Bueno... yeppppp thats right. Taco Bueno... 2 party tacos no cheese 208calories and a cup of chicken tortilla soup "skinny" style 60 calories!! Got tolove fast food that post nutrition info! It is a life saver!

Soooo we have beenloving on our great kids and family.  And the real world hit first thing when I woke up and realized the chef from Malibu escaped my luggage and my hot breakfast had not been made.  LOL and then the kids wanted donuts....noooooo, soooo once again we decided emergency fast food, subway breakfast!!! Sooo we go to the one here in Clyde, and wow they stopped serving breakfast while we were away.... grrrrr So I told Shane ok I got to get groceries...

And I did.

And we had an amazing Sandwich and Salad right here at home.  I tried a new recipe from the BL cookbook I bought and I thought I would share it with you.
