I have no idea what I was doing tonight with dinner. No idea. I was so overwhelmed with hunger while I was working out (yay me!).... Reading my Taste of Home magazine and drooling over the recipes inside, I felt like I could not live without eating the entire magazine... paper and all.
After my workout I baked some pita bread drizzled in olive oil and dipped it in my Garlic Hummus... After that, I figured I'd take the chicken carcass in my fridge and put it in a pot with some water, eventually hoping it would turn into chicken stock. Hoping. After I let that simmer I got bored. I realized I have a million lemons in my fridge. What can I make with lemons? Lemon-aid? Ha. Cupcakes? Cookies? Cookies. I had really wanted lemon poppy seed cake, but no poppy seeds. Boo. I made low fat lemon tea cookies ... they sucked. I added some coconut... they still sucked after that. Since I have been trying to watch my calories I used homemade applesauce instead of butter. Bad idea. Chewy, but not in a good way. More like dense and rubbery. Ugh.
Dinner? Hebrew National Hot Dog! Only because I had eaten so much along the way. Tomorrow, I'll finish the chicken noodle soup I had been attempting with the carcass in water on my stove. I'm hoping by leaving the broth in the fridge overnight I can skim the fat off the top. Good idea? We'll see.
