Almost slipped up...

Last night, my husband and I drove up to Bowling Green State University to pick up my son who is coming home for spring break. I told him we had to eat before we left because I was not confident there would be much along the way I could eat without really having to search. He tells me "You can get a bean and cheese burrito from Taco Bell." Yeah, that's healthy. Heck, I could get a Biggie fries and a Frosty from Wendy's too but that's just not nutritious. Instead, I had some leftover Roasted Pepper Vegetarian Chili that I have to tell you was exceptionally tasty. Even my 15 yr old son liked it!!

Anyhow, along the way, we stopped for gas at a Speedway station and I decided to go in and get a soda. I asked my hubby if he wanted anything and he said "Yeah, get me a hotdog." Without even thinking, I started to get one for myself, too! The only reason I caught myself was because I don't typically like hotdogs so I wondered why I wanted one. That was a close call! But then, I wanted a hotdog so bad, I had to get a 3 Musketeers bar just to distract myself. And I don't really even like hotdogs. Weird.

I found a recipe on line for a meatless meatloaf that actually won 2nd place in a meatloaf cookoff. This intrigues me so I plan to try it for dinner tomorrow. Cottage cheese is NOT an ingredient in this one.

So, here is a quick score card of some of the things I enjoyed eating last week and some that I didn't:

Thumbs Up
Morningstar Farms veggie burgers (any variety, they are all yum)
Mangos (can't seem to get enough)
Lightlife Smart BBQ (meatless BBQ - tastes authentic!)
Roasted Red Pepper veggie chili
Samosas from the Whole Foods deli case

Thumbs Down
Tofurkey brand italian sausages - not enough like the real thing
Cottage Cheese Loaf - it was OK, but I won't make it again
