I can smell freedom!

Oh blogging, I've missed you! Don't worry 3 more days of school and I'll be done! I can't wait to have my life back!



I've been trying to cut back on my carb-intake but it's been difficult. Pictured is a 6oz piece of lean carne asada with asparagus and yellow squash. (I buy the meat pre-marinated from Trader Joe's and weigh it on a food scale.)

Roasted veggies= delicious!



Last night's dinner included more Trader Joe love. 2 veggie samosas (in the freezer section. They are incredibly tasty for not being fried and low in calories/fat!) and skinless, boneless chicken breast in a jarred tikka masala sauce with yellow squash and 4 cups of spinach. I loved adding spinach to this! Spinach and curry are meant to be.

Tikka Masala is my favorite curry but is usually filled with cream. The jarred version at Trader Joe's has 5 grams of fat per serving which is the best I've found. The jar suggests watering it down but I don't. The cooked veggies add enough water.



Next time, I might try a veggie version of this with chickpeas, even more spinach and bell peppers. YUM!

Have you ever made curry? How do you get the smell out of your house??? Keep in mind, Andy and I live in a small apartment.

Also Trader Joe's carries garlic naan, vegetable biryani and boxed indian side dishes. The closest Indian food restaurant to us is 10-15 miles away so this is great when we have a craving and don't want to go out! Plus I have control over the fat in my food. Love that!

p.s. adding spinach to everything is my newest obsession.

I'll be back soon with a life update!
