Wow, August already. Well, I guess I tried too hard last week to be creative and try some new things. I asked my husband what he wanted for dinner this week and he said something to the effect of "not to spend a bunch of money on a bunch of things nobody liked." Ouch. Well, I'm going to try a couple new things this week, but stay away from the "ethnic" dishes and big time experiments.

MON: in our High Carb days, we loved having these Bacon-Tomato Bagel Melts Recipe | Taste of Home Recipes so I'm going to use this recipe as inspiration for a pizza using the all cheese and egg crust.
TUES: Breakfast for dinner with hamsteak
WED: beef fajitas/green salad
THURS: Grilled pork chops/cucumber salad
FRI: Grilled chicken/green salad
SAT: Lasagna a la Cleo The Lighter Side of Low-Carb: Low-carb lasagna with noodles. Layers of Italian delight in every bite
SUN: FFY

BTW my pizza idea for Monday was really good. After baking the crust and letting it cool a bit, I spread some ranch dressing, then bacon pieces, then diced tomatoes, then a little bit more cheese and broiled until the cheese was melted. I don't even like fresh tomatoes, but this kind of thing is different for some reason. Really good. Thumbs up from the mister, too.
