Viola! Shrimp Scampi and Potato soup

Life is queer with its twists and turns....

My have the past few days been busy! I want to see the light at the end of the tunnel. But its far from present! (Oy-vey) So while I'm trying to continue my heathly food journey and not indulge in eating french fries like I did the other day, I'm struggling with being busy and not eating enough. I recently joined the 50 million pound challenge and I must admitt, besides walking more... and trying to be active at least 60 minutes a day, I'm in danger of falling off the food wagon. Yesterday I had this viola meal. Shrimp Scampi It was OK... so so at best! but I had to doctor it up with some seasoning and more pasta to make it stick. The problem was that I needed more veggies! So today. I've taken the regular dining hall Potato Soup and "doctored" it up a bit. I added a bit of carrots, cheese and bacon bits. (For all of you who knew me as a non-pork eater...I'm backsliding on the bacon) I've coupled (don't you love that language) the soup with a salad full of veggies and light honey mustard dressing. I'm trying to make up for the fact that I almost ate a bag full *lowers head* of these Chiptotle Cheddar Chex Mix!


I promise I'll get back to cooking... Still thinking about what new recipie to try. If you have any suggestions let me know.

Until next time!
