...Are doomed to fail. Tonight we had a party to go to. I was so excited that it was going to be at Chick-fila because I know I can get a safe gluten free meal there. My go-to order is a chargrilled chicken sandwich with no bun, add provolone cheese with a side salad and a fruit cup for dessert. However due to the fact that we are in the midst of a blizzard the restaurant decided to close early. So the party was relocated to Pizza Hut. Could there be a worse choice for a gluten free meal? The worst part? I had no time to find a suitable dinner before the party started and it seems that someone snacked on my emergency stash of Larabars! So I had to make a cup of coffee to bring along. Coffee helps kill my appetite for a brief spell. It got me through the party at least! It was worth it to see my adorable nephew so happy!
After the party I rushed home (well as much as you can rush with half a foot of snow) and made my favorite quick meal. Scrambled eggs with bacon and cheddar. I love breakfast food for dinner! Luckily I had a slice of leftover bacon in the fridge so I didn't have to wait for it to fry.
To serve with it I had a coffee protein shake. I used the Starbucks Via in vanilla. It has an interesting marshmallow like flavor. I find you really need to mix it with more water than called for or it is soooo bitter. I mixed it with ice, natural vanilla protein powder, and 1/4 cup of low fat milk. It was so foamy on top. Really good. I do love my coffee.
Anyhow this goes to show that in a pinch you can make a quick, relatively healthy meal in no time...no drive thru required!
