What I've Been Eating

Not that it has anything to do with triathlon training... I have just come across some fun foods recently and wanted to share.

The first being the stuffed pork chops. This was just a result of being up early and watching tv with the dogs yesterday morning.
I substituted the goat cheese with about 2 ounces of low fat mozzarella and some Kraft sprinkle parmesan - It was a calorie and cost decision. I also used only ONE garlic clove and a quarter of a small red onion and I chopped/purred them in the little chopper I have with the sun dried tomatoes. I didn't have reconstituted sun-dried tomatoes so this was the best approach to getting them cut. It turned out very good!
I have some stuffing left over so I think I will grill some think pork chops and put them and some of the stuffing over a spinach salad with a dijon vinagarette for dinner later this week.

In other foods - I did make a tomatoe salad the past few weeks. I used a can of the fire raosted diced tomatoes (not drained) along with 2 fresh tomatoes, 1 cucumber, 1 green pepper, some red onion, garlic, black pepper and olive oil. It has gone rather well with cold grilled chicken for lunch.

And the oddity of them all - a fruit soup - I have pureed 3 peeled oranges (seeds removed) (I eleimiated the grapefruit the second try - it was too bitter) and 1 cantaloupe (I left a few chunks on the side to add texture). I added a package of frozen raspberries, cinamon and vanilla to the mixture. I have been eating as my mid-morning snack. Quite tasty. This week I am going to try a more berry oriented mixture without the cantaloupe. We shall see.
