{WIAW #47} Leftover Chili’s

It’s Wednesday!  Another WIAW!  {What I Ate Wednesday} (More info here!)

Food is like gold around my house these days.  I will be moving to the city where I go to school soon, so this means that I will have to pay rent, utilities, buy all the little things that the Daddio bought like tp…and I don’t even have a job lined up there yet.  Will be livin’ on a prayer for sure!

{Breakfast}: My peanutbutter toast!  With a little cinnamon sugar on top!

My gummy vitamins have changed recently to omega 6 vitamins and immune system vitamins.  I figure it’s that time of the year when people are getting sick, so I might as well be prepared!

But again, food is like gold over here.  I am trying so hard to not throw things out…and this includes leftovers.  Bringing home leftovers is like having free food.  Especially when Dave (the BF) paid for the food.  Thanks Dave! 🙂

Leftover food is good for about a week in the fridge.  So this weekend I knew I had to use up my Chili’s leftovers.  Since Chili’s food isn’t exactly the healthiest, I healthified the food a bit.

{Southwest eggrolls.} 

I got a new mini food processor (that I’m SO EXCITED ABOUT) and I tried it out.  I mixed up some cottage cheese and spices to substitute for the ranch dip that came with it (that I left at the restaurant).  I added a side of carrot chips and had a lovely little semi-healthy lunch.

{Club tacos.} 

Again, to substitute for a ranch sauce, I added some cottage cheese, then added spinach.  I was still hungry after (duh..one taco Amanda), so I heated up some frozen green beans and added sunflower seeds and a little margarine.

{Dessert} was the yummy chocolate chip banana muffins I made with my friend Emily on Saturday.

Recipe to come!

I’m wearing an apron Emily gave me.  Also her daughter Rhea is precious!

PS have you entered the apron giveaway??  My friend Emily is super talented with a sewing machine and makes adorable aprons and was nice enough to let one of the semi-healthy readers have one!

{Late night snack}: Peanutbutter cheerios, mini chocolate chips and string cheese with bedtime tea.

I pretty much always have a late night snack.

I can’t sleep if I’m hungry so I will have one pretty much right before bed.

Just so ya know, it’s totally false that eating late at night makes you gain weight.  It does matter what you eat…of course eating two bowls of icecream every night might make you gain weight, but just eating at night does not make a difference. 

I’m off to hang out with my little sis!  Possibly bake something semi-healthy to take to Thanksgiving dinner at my grandma’s tomorrow!

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!  I will be hosting another Thankful Thursday link-up if you’d like to join me tomorrow.

What are your Thanksgiving plans?

Do you enjoy a late-night snack?
