My dietitian gave me new recipes so that I don't get bored making the same things. She also gave me the excellent website http://www.eatingwell.com/ Most of the new recipes she gave me were from this website. And I'm also getting better at making things up on my own that are healthy. Last night for dinner I made pan grilled tilapia, baked sweet potato fries, brussel sprouts and broccolini. Since it took about 25 minutes for the sweet potato fries, I took the opportunity to marinate the tilapia in soy sauce, garlic and pepper. It was delicious! Even Colin, who doesn't particularly like fish, enjoyed the tilapia. Then for lunch I used one of the recipes Samantha gave me; curried chicken pitas which can also be found at eatingwell. The main ingredients are chicken, yogurt, light mayo, pears, cranberries, celery, sprouts and almonds. I had a little taste before I put it away for lunch today. It was yummy and very different from the things that I normally eat. Colin liked it as well. Tonight I'm making Samantha's turkey meatballs and whole wheat pasta with chunky tomato sauce. I'm also drinking a lot of low sodium V8 to get additional vegetable servings in during the day. I have to say the salt made a difference and the low sodium does not taste the same! Oh well, it's still good.
We had our interview with the management company of the apartment building and they continue to request additional information. I hope they let us know by Friday either way. I hope we do get the apartment because I'm tired of looking at apartments, but if we don't get it, that's fine because we have our eye on another apartment about 10 blocks north of the apartment we're looking at right now. Or who knows, maybe we'll move back to Clinton Hill; big apartments for little money or maybe Astoria will be back on the table. The waiting is the worst part! I just want to know if we have the apartment either way. Keep your fingers crossed for us.
So we know Valentine's Day is a bogus holiday, but we still like to go out anyways. Every year since we moved to NYC we have attended an independent film festival called Love Actually: Short Films about Love, Sex and Romance. Since we started going three years ago we have loved it every year. Tickets are inexpensive ($15 pp or $25/couple) which is way less expensive than doing some of the other Valentine's Day activities in NYC. After the film series we are having dinner at Je'Bon, a sushi and noodle bar that gets pretty high ratings. So Monday is going to be a late night for us! But it's worth it because the films are always so good. What does everyone else have planned?
