Day 18. More Cheese, Chocolate & Eggs

Hey, today has been a mad day as far as food is concerned. I tried a few different recipes after tones of shopping, which I needed to get, before I sell my car this Sunday :oS

So after buying all kinds of food it was time to chill and munch. So first up I tried the Dr. Atkins Advantage Chocolate and Hazelnut Crunch bar, and I have got to admit it was a very tasty and rather filling snack. Although not too crunchy, I did find it very chewy, and not sooo chocolatie either, but delicious all the same, accompanying with that was a nice slice of cheese on the side.

Later when I got home, I then thought I would try and make my own chocolate cookie. Following another "Cooking with Amy" recipe. So I gathered all the ingredients, 1tbsp of Splenda, 1 egg & Chocolate Whey Protein (1 Scoop) and added a little water. Mixed together and slammed in the microwave for about 40 seconds. 40 seconds later I open up the microwave door to find this weird spongy pudding. It didn't look to bad I guess, but taste wasn't all that nice, rather rubbery and not very sweet. I did add whipped cream to the dish, but decided to just eat only the cream in the end and threw away the rest instead. I also bought some Vanilla Whey Protein, and made a shake from this, but it was pure disgusting, so I ended up emptying that down the sink too.

In the evening for my main dish I then tried The Pizza Omelet. My ingredients for this where, eggs, pepperoni, tomato puree and cheese. I created my omelet pizza base, smothered that with tomato sauce, then added some pepperoni and cheese and flipped one side over the omelet, until the cheese was melted. Voila...

It was then down to the eating part. For me I didn't find this dish so appealing. It wasn't quite what I imagined it to be, in fact I found the flavors rather contradictory of each other and it left a disappointing after taste, so I probably won't try this again. Perhaps it would be better with chicken???


And then for the rest of the day I ate more cheese, eggs and a chocolate bar. Also on my shopping spree I found out they now sell my chocolate breakfast bars for half price. As in a pack of 5 bars for £2.00 instead of £3.99, therefore I made sure to stock up on 4 extra packs ;o) There is my desert worries over for a while.

For tomorrow night I am going to make a Chinese dish, rice stir fry with soya sauce. I will keep you posted how this will taste :oP

As for the table of food, for the day.... here it is:

Notice how the chocolate food pudding I made isn't on the list... that’s because I didn't eat it! 1 bite was enough to chuck it away. Same with the Vanilla Whey Protein Shake, pure disgusting :o( Perhaps you guys have more luck. Or if you have any cool idea please feel free to share :o)
