I wanted a doughnut today when a co-worker had two creamy gooey ones. I the wanted a piece of whipped creme cake that they had to celebrate a co-workers last day. The I was offered Strawberry Shortcake to celebrate yet another co-workers birthday-all this today. So I went home and sliced up 1 ounce shaved beef sirloin which I added to 1 oz whole grain brown rice, 1 tsp roasted red pepper, I TBS cooked green lentil, I Tsp Sm Diced vidalia Onion and 1 ounce fresh spinach, and 1 TSP sharp lo-fat shredded aged provolone-and 1/2 egg for added protein(which it is loaded with anyway). Delicious and no guilt. I doesn't look delicious but it is,

I've got to be honest with you, I'd have gone back and had a doughnut.

Haha Good point

In Minnesota, your concoction would include cream of mushroom soup and be called a hotdish.  Also in Minnesota, if preparing a hotdish for Catholics, follow the recipe as written.  If preparing it for Lutherans, double the ingredients.

"Wherever two or more are gathered in his name, there will be refreshments."

And if you're Mormon, you'd do the mushroom soup version and make a side of green jello.

Lutherans love green jello too!

Good for you! We were working a long day/night last week, and it was 10:30pm.  Hadn't eaten in several hours.  Co worker's brought in: Italian cookies, pizza, popcorn, and chips.  Dear Lord! 

I had a few mini bonbel cheese snacks in the fridge and immediately went out to grab one.  I then snuck a peek at my before picture on my phone. Crisis averted! 

But ut to your original point: I have made some totally delicious meals since changing my lifestyle. This isn't a prison term! It can be pretty awesome and awesomely delicious :-)

Very true! I discovered that a cream cheese and green onion omelet is even better than cream cheese wontons. All the delicious insides with an egg instead of a wrapper, which isn't really that great anyway.
