Earlier this morning, I came across a post by with a Side of Sneakers on the topic of getting good pictures without having a fancy camera. I bought a new camera a couple months ago, and am STILL learning how to use it. It’s not even a dSLR! I’m camera inept I guess. The post had some really cool ideas that I’m looking forward to trying out. Also there’s a photography session at the Healthy Living Summit this weekend (which I’m pumped to attend)… So look out blog readers–better photos will be appearing on the blog very soon!
Breakfast #1
8AM breakfast time… and I was STARVING. Today’s B#1 was a repeat of yesterday’s egg white scramble with roasted broccoli:
You know what I love about this breakfast (besides the fact that I’m obsessed with eggs.. and roasted broccoli… and ketchup for that matter)? It took ZERO effort since I had cooked a double batch Monday night. Love that.

Breakfast #2
I had about 2/3 of a cup of Stonyfield Vanilla Fat-free yogurt leftover from yesterday’s yogurt cheese parfait, so I brought that to work for B#2 along with a few sliced up strawberries, 1/3 cup blueberries, and 1/2 a bag of mashed up 100 calories oreos (also leftover from the yogurt cheese experiment):
I took these pics using tips from the article (well as best I could at work anyway):
YUM.
This tasted like dessert to me — must have been the oreo crumbles!

Lunch
Keeping on my use-up-all-the-leftovers roll, I brought some leftovers from last night’s dinner to work today for lunch. I topped a Mama Lupe’s low carb tortilla with 2 ounces of the grilled chicken, added the grilled peppers, onions, and zucchini and then topped with a little fat-free Breakstone’s sour cream (about 1 tbsp).
Lunch-time fajita!
I also had some grapes on the side:
And a pickle spear:
Somebody needs to work on her plating skills…. Just sayin.
This is the kind of lunch I LOVE.. delicious, satisfying, AND healthy 🙂

Your blogs are all so inspiring. I can’t wait to try this chicken fajita idea. But more so, I am so anxious to make the chicken salad on the lettuce. However, I wonder how it woudl taste on a bed of spinich. I love spinich.

OH and BTW – check out this chicken salad recipe: http://ferventfoodie.com/2010/06/23/big-fat-flops/ I liked it better than the one I had the other day. I bet spinach would be tasty!
oh, you are so wonderful! I’m back on track to lose weight again so I am so grateful to your blog and the receipies. I love chicken and chicken ideas. You better believe I am so anxious to get home and try these receipes out, minus the lime juice. Highly allergic to citric acid. Thank you Mary!
Yummm!! Your breakfast number two looks amazing! I probably couldn’t eat it in the morning because of the chocolate but that sounds like a good afternoon recipe or dessert. Thanks!
I agree Katie! I don’t usually do chocolate in the AM, but it was just calling my name today 🙂
Oreo crumbles incorporated into breakfast? Genius.
