So now I'm dieting. I think I hear my cheese calling from the refrigerator. If I could eat it in moderation I would be OK but my problem is that with perfectly healthy intentions I'd have a little cracker with some goat cheese smothered with mustard seed drizzle sauce and black out only to wake up to find my point calculator had exploded.
So last night I decided to cook fajitas. This is my attempt to not "punish" my family with "diet" food just because I'm dieting. (I'll fight that battle another day.) I figured I'd have the meat and veggies but not have the toppings and tortillas that they eat. But because I'm a good wife and mother (this is said through gritted teeth and an insincere smile) I prepped all of it. This meant I grated the cheese.
Have you ever heard of this disease called "Alien Hand Syndrome"? It's a real disease. It involves brain trauma and suddenly your hand is doing things that your brain is not fully aware of. I developed this disease last night. I was shredding the cheese and I'd turn around only to find that my right hand was trying to force me to eat the cheese!!! It wasn't me doing it. It was my alien hand!!!
I did survive and had chili lime flank steak with fajita veggies, and avocado for under 10 points. I'm proud of myself. But I miss my cheese.
If you're interested:
Flank steak, Limes, Avocado, Onions, Green Peppers, Cherry Tomatoes, Chili Powder, Salt, Pepper
Spritz a pan with olive oil and put in sliced veggies. Salt and pepper to taste. Remove.
Using same pan (because dishes!) spritz with olive oil. Squeeze lime juice liberally on both sides of steak. Rub in chili powder, salt and pepper. Sear both sides and cook to desired temp. Rest and slice.
Serve with or without cheese.
