Friday is Pizza Day!

Growing up, my mom would always make homemade pizza on Friday nights.  And even though I would fuss when it would be burned or thought it tasted bad compared to take-out pizza, I still have fond memories of those nights.  Tonight was the first time in years that we’ve made homemade pizza at my parents house.  My mom picked up some whole wheat dough earlier and we were set to make a veggie pizza!

Spinach and Peppers

Cucumber on the side

Otherwise, not a very exciting day.

Banana Oatmeal w/ Teddie unsalted p.b. for breakfast

Then work.

Bean and Barley Soup for lunch

I left early because of the snow storm and barely made it home. I’m borrowing my grandma’s car while mine is in the shop and her car is horrible in bad weather. SCARY!

Grapes for a snack

Also look at the new flavor of Laughing Cow -

I had a wedge on a couple Low Sodium Triscuits to go with snack

I can’t tell if it’s still snowing but after work tomorrow I hope it’s still light enough to go snowshoeing!

Now onto something a little different………

A couple weeks ago my brother went to McDonald’s and ordered this

He called it “Old McDonald’s Farm Sandwich” because it contained a rib, chicken patty, and beef patty all in one bun.  Now why do I say he made up his own name? Well because apparently he made up the sandwich!  It was news to me that at some fast food places you can order whatever you want even if it’s not on the menu and they will make it for you.  This conjures up some scary thoughts in my head – imagine what else people could be ordering. How much worse can these fast food places really get?!  But on the other hand this could also be a good thing because maybe in some way you could order an item “healthified.” Who knows really but if you are interested in more of these so called “hidden menu” items, I found this link that contains a whole bunch of things. Some make me cringe, others aren’t so bad (hello Naked sandwiches at Popeye’s means they don’t add the breading to the meat!).

TGIF!
