My Bud The Spud

I’ve been eating a lot of potatoes lately. They’re so tasty… and cheap! One of my favorite ways to eat them is boiled and then LOADED with all sorts of yumminess. Tonight’s ‘tato:

Loaded Mexican Yukon Gold

Simple side salad of romaine lettuce and a pickle. Random, but it popped out at me. That and I didn’t have a fresh cucumber. My mom thinks I eat too much salad and that’s what my tummy doesn’t like. I think (hope) she’s nuts, LOL. Dustin thinks the same thing, but what does he know? His plate is missing anything green 96.4% of the time. So in comparison, yes, maybe I do.

leafy greens!

Toppings:

• Steamed broccoli + cauliflower
• Reduced fat Kerrygold cheddar cheese
• Pace picante sent to me by Pace and Foodbuzz
• Dollop of Fage full-fat Greek yogurt
• Lindsay low sodium black olives
• Jalapeno slices
• Few splashes of Cholula hot sauce

Mmmm… mmm!! SO GOOOOOOD! And filling! OMG, this with 2 glasses of water + the side salad…whoa… STUFFED! This will likely be my only meal for today, other than a handful of M&Ms.  

It was 80 degrees out today! Warm, humid weather and I do not mix. But being I was already feeling clammy, I went full charge into the feeling and did 7.5 varied-resistance-miles on my recumbent bike, which I need a new one of! Both pulse sensors = broken and falling off. I think I abused it. I was going to go for a walk too but decided to just take a cold shower.

I’m going to go to sleep early tonight. I’ve been deviating from my schedule too much and I’d like to change that. So, nite nite!

Question: What are your favorite potato toppings? Have you ever had a boiled potato or do you prefer roasted? I like boiled because they come out soft, but no cooking oils needed. Nice and simple!
