Recipe Review
Today’s
Recipe and Location: Spicy
Pasta Salad with Smoked Gouda, Tomatoes,
and Basil
Found in: The Pioneer Woman blog
I figured out that there are
341 calories per serving, if 7 servings are made. (Please note that the calorie counts vary
depending on the specific brands of ingredients that you choose to use.)
This salad is good, but I had
to add a lot more adobo sauce than the recipe called for in the directions. I
also had a problem and couldn’t find smoked gouda, so I substituted regular
aged gouda. I do like this salad and would even like to try it warmed. I look
forward to eating several meals of this at school.

Why Weight?
I
should have gained a lot of pounds this week considering my calories every day.
I am thankful that I didn’t, or I would be going into the new week disgusted
with myself. I can live with 1.7 pounds. I guess we attribute it to walking a
lot more this week.

Wants and Wishes
This
week I really want a stress-free week. I want to leave work at work and come
home and truly enjoy every night. I want to sit in front of the fire with a mug
of Ree’s amazing cider and read a book. I want to be able to finish knitting my
new dishcloths. I want to catch myself smiling as I enjoy a week full of peace
and love.
