You are here: Home / Weekend / Falling Icicles

March 2, 2009

Falling Icicles

We went for a great run this morning amidst falling clumps of snow. The roads are now completely clear and there’s actually steam coming up from the earth! Don’t worry, I was VERY careful on my run not to look up at the icicles under the advice of Safety Guru Dwight K. Schrute:

 

It was actually really warm out there –

IMG_2436 (1024x768)

We ran to the Y so Matt could lift weights. It was about 2.25 miles each way, and I did 15 minutes on the Stepmill while we were at the gym. It was a fantastic run – light and airy.

Once home + showered, we made a delicious lunch featuring Kelsey’s Homemade Pimento Cheese! I LOOOOOVE pimento cheese but don’t eat it much because I am wary of the store-bought kind. I used to hate it, actually, when it would be on sandwiches at church suppers when I was little. Then I realized it was CHEESE! This recipe was so easy and required no special equipment other than a grater. Kelsey is a recipe genius!

IMG_2437 (1024x768)

The only change we made was using 2 tbsp of greek yogurt + 1 of lite sour cream because we ran out of sour cream! I think you could probably use all yogurt and it would still be delicious. I don’t think I’d use a regular yogurt though because it might be too sour/runny.

IMG_2438 (1024x768) 

My sandwich on GH Dakota bread, lightly broiled.

IMG_2444 (1024x768)

It’s interesting to me that I didn’t calculate (or really care) about the nutritional information for this recipe. It crossed my mind to think about it, but then I thought even if I did know the nutritional info, I’d still put the same amount on my bread, so it wouldn’t matter and kind of shrugged it off. The year-ago me would have probably done the whole recipe by weight and calculated the nutritional info by grams. Plus, the volume of this is most shredded cheese with just a little light dairy mixed in, so it’s probably comparable to just putting the same volume of shredded cheese on your sandwich. 1/3 cup ~ 100 calories.

IMG_2445 (1024x768)

To go with my pimento cheese toast I had a huge spinach + veggie salad –

IMG_2441 (1024x768)

This was about 3-4 cups greens + lettuce tossed in POM dressing (see below), ~1/2 cuIMG_2439 (1024x768)p leftover roasted veggies, peppers, carrot, strawberries + almonds.

POM dressing:

  • 2 tbsp pom
  • 1 heaping tsp mustard
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • pinch salt

Shake in jar to mix –>

    I am also leary of store bought pimento cheese. We do have a local company that makes it and it is so good. It is really the only kind I will buy. I have never tried making it myself, maybe I should try my hand at it!

    I’ve lived in the South for almost 5 years now and have yet to try pimento cheese, but your broiled sandwich makes me want to try it!

    Ever since I saw a certain episode of Grey’s Anatomy, I’ve been scared of icicles . . .

    Like seeleelive said, I too was very happy to see how you knew you’d eat it anyway, so why worry with being mathematical about the pimiento cheese?? That may have taken some enjoyment away from your delightful lunch. I’m halfway through Intuitive Eating and I’m feeling so free right now! I let go of counting WW points today and so far, such a success! While I’d love to lose 20 pounds, after reading this book, I’m realizing that more important than losing those pounds is gaining a happy relationship with food which will result in a happier relationship with my body. Typing it out is just getting me even more excited about this new way of thinking!! Without your awesome review of the book, who knows when if ever I would have checked this book out and applied the principals to my life. Thank you, thank you, thank YOU!!!!!!!!!!!

    At first I thought, “Kath? Pimento cheese? No way!” But that looks a million times better than the orange goop I used to sling when I worked at a deli counter. That stuff was not attractive.

    Any suggestions on how to estimate calorie intake when eating out? I am now food journaling and really enjoying it, but having a tricky time recording things I didn’t cook myself. They are the exception to the rule — btw.

    I had pretty much the same experience with pimento cheese, as a kid I would turn up my nose and now I think it’s super tasty. I made some “roasted red pepper cheese” a while back I bet you would like as well – http://eatingchalk.wordpress.com/2008/11/03/snackstress/

    Restaurants are the hardest part of food journaling. My advice: when in dough, overestimate.

    Glad to find a healthy pimento cheese recipe — I grew up in the south, so was raised eating it. I’ve never had it melted, though, but will try asap.
