After awaking and being offered a delicious breakfast, I decided I would hold back for a little while and let my hunger mount, allowing my body to get used to a lower caloric intake that I enjoy (side note, this diet thing is working, I weighed 159 pounds yesterday while dehydrated, 161 in the evening; overall loss since diet began = 9 pounds in 8 weeks)
So, lately I haven' t put anything on this blog since I haven't had the motivation. All I really make is plain rice, a bean/meat thing, and throw cheese on both. This of course isn't any fun to blog about, but I'm going to anyway, since writing stuff is always nice.
Dinner consisted of:
- 1/2 cup Jasmine Rice
[320 calories]
After 13 minutes of cooking I grabbed my ground beef cooking pot (a pot works great for cooking 113 grams of ground beef) and taco seasoning. Now, I use McCormick's newest taco spice which is high in calories and low in sodium, leading to a bland taco flavor. I compensate for this by using a tonne of it :)
- 113 grams of 7% lean ground beef
[170 calories] - 1/6 cup taco seasoning (works out to 4 servings)
[80 calories]
Upon bringing the meat back, the rice was done cooking. I scooped out 2/3rds of the cooked rice and formed it to the bottom of a bowl. I then placed:
on top of the rice. I covered the cheese with the beef, and covered the beef with:
- 4 table spoons of Tostitos Medium Salsa
[30 calories]
Sounds good, right?
Taste
So I've made this countless times since I bought my 12lbs of ground beef back in april. The cinnamon with crushed red pepper makes the dish hot and sweet. The salsa adds a cool flavor and a mild kick while the cheese gives the dish some "pull". The beef obviously was discovered by experimentation until I eventually found a combination that worked. Here is what the layers looked like.
