The highlight of my today today is preparing for a big steakhouse style dinner. After
having soup last night and leftovers the night before, the family was
ready. I even made an appetizer for those that were coming home from
work. It was cold and blizzard- y out there...our first day of Spring. I spent all day in the kitchen.

Summary & highlights:
Yesterday was ok...I did not eat breakfast. Well at least not a traditional one. I wanted to retake a photo from yesterday and I ended up eating my White Chicken Chili for breakfast! It was so good. Then I spent most of the day cooking and snacking on vegetables. I made a HUGE chopped salad that I ate for lunch and served with dinner. I made a homemade buttermilk ranch dressing that everyone really liked. I also prepped dinner during lunch so I snacked a lot on the ingredients....mostly vegetables. I had defrosted a London Broil and marinated it early on in the day. So I was preparing for a big dinner.
Dinner was fabulous but I ended my evening with 3 oreos. I've been bad every day. I can't kick my sweet tooth and I have NO SELF CONTROL. That is the real issue. As they say on "The Next Iron Chef..."you've survived to cook another day," so I too will continue to make the most of my days and cook healthy meals that will, hopefully, offset some of my bad choices.
