Epic Fail for supper, anyone?

Yep it was kinda gross. Maybe if I put it out there someone can tell me how I should have done this recipe.
I'll start with the only good thing about dinner. I combined a cup of organic greek yogurt, a tablespoon of mayo a handful of chives and a handful of basil. Put it all in the blender til everything was green and added crushed black pepper for taste. This sauce was freaking good, and I will have to find a place to use it again - but it wont be in this yucky meal.

Then I added some chopped up cocktail shrimp, a variety of lettuce, and some sliced mango, and wrapped it up in a whole grain wrap tortilla. Mostly, the worst thing about it, was it was just too sweet. Maybe I could have traded the mango for something less sweet like an avocado... Idk the combination was just too sweet, and brian was frustrated because the tortillas were so thin and the kept ripping.

This meal doesnt stand another chance, but I might try it with the avocados in some pita bread. That sauce was too good!

Before that at lunch we had Chipotle. I had 2 soft tacos with veggies and chicken and gaucamole.

Breakfast was a bowl of FiberOne Raisin Bran. mmmmmmmmmmmmm

A Homecoming Celebration of Sorts

Watch What I Eat is falling in love with seafood! Last night we had salmon. Yes, it was very good. I have prepared it differently in the past always using about half an orange and searing it. But for last night, I did it in a packet just like the cod. My packet had asparagus, and Brian's had broccoli. It was pretty dad-gone-good.
Over the weekend, ,we had Genghis Grill which is always a satisfying but never over filling meal, Jersey Mikes which isnt the best for you probably but it is the BEST DAMN philly cheesesteak this side of the Mississippi in my opinion, pan seared pork chops and steamed veggies with a bottle of muscadine wine followed by an over abundance of mixed drinks as Brian played bartender while my guest Kayla and I proceeded to get quite sauced and share stories, Corner Bakery breakfast sandwiches, Boston's Hawaiian pizza, and Oikos Greek Yogurt sparsed through the weekend for breakfast.
Not a bad weekend for eating at all.... some indiscretions with the alcohol, but hey, I'm not posing for the cover of Self magazine anytime soon, so who gives a rip, right?

Love and good eats to ya,

Lessie
