I enjoy making food at home. My wife and I both love the chicken and cheese quesadillas I make at home. A little bit of cheese and a lot of chicken, grilled onions and peppers goes a long way. The tortilla is 120 calories, so it’s important to only have a couple but for them to be STUFFED with ingredients.

This was the last weekend of the fair, so you won’t see any corn dogs next week.
You might notice there’s an extra day in there.
I’m starting to count (and post) calories for the entire week, not just Monday through Friday. That means you’ll be able to see what I eat during my “cheat days” on the weekend when I watch football games, go out socializing, etc.
Today you’ll see Monday – Saturday, next week Sunday – Saturday.

I haven’t had much time to make myself a real breakfast (cooking, you know?) for a while, but I can’t tell you how much of a difference it made switching the kid’s cereal for the breakfast with eggs, bacon, and biscuits. I didn’t get hungry nearly as quickly Thursday morning as I did Tuesday. I also had more energy.
Not all calories are created equal.
