Monday Night Dinner

Every Monday, Donald (otherwise known as Bunny - a nickname I bestowed upon him years ago) comes over for dinner. This gives me a chance to cook for more than just 2 people.
This week, I am trying to be a little healthier, but still have yummy food. I did meatballs with 96% lean beef, sauteed green beans with onions and bacon, and roasted new potatoes. I figured this was healthier than mashed potatoes - since those usually require cream cheese, sticks of butter... etc.

I snapped a photo before digging in...
I realize this isn't super healthy low calorie, but I can't eat like that. I would rather eat what I like and just eat less. I have worked out twice this week already (it would be 4 times for this week by tomorrow but I have an after work thing tonight). I figure if I eat less at lunch, actually eat breakfast, and work out - dinner won't be that big a deal.
Denial?

I made dinner last night but in my camera clean-out haste, I deleted the photo.

Basically, I bought Chipotle-Lime marinated chicken breasts at Central Market, which Lee grilled. I then made 2 cups of rice. While that was going, I sauteed poblano peppers, red onion, corn, and black beans. I seasoned them with a little tobasco, salt, and pepper and put the mixture on top of the rice.
It was yum and I am mad I deleted the photo. It isn't in the recycle bin, I have no idea where it went.

Oh well.

I am not cooking tonight, or tomorrow night. I will try to take photos of my meals with the blackberry.

Lee is traveling - hence the Nash Kitchen Closing.
