Week 2: Junk Food Junkie

Well I gained 1 pound this last week. I did well and tracked during the week, but then the weekend hit and I went to visit my boyfriend for the weekend. Out of my element and unprepared, I did better than normally would have (didn't order ANY delivery) but I snacked a lot. Cheese, popcorn, chocolates...

So, after weighing in, I decided to try some healthier alternatives to junk food. I made kale chips and mozzarella cheese balls- inspired by chips and mozzarella sticks. For the kale chips, I just drizzled bite-size pieces with olive oil, sprinkled onion salt on them, and baked them for about 10 minutes. For the cheese balls, I cut up a ww string cheese, dunked the balls in egg whites followed by bread crumbs and red pepper flakes (I like a bit of heat) and baked those for about 10 minutes.

The first picture shows the results, which I was very happy with! Yummy! Especially when the kale chips and cheese balls are eaten together. The second picture shows what over-cooked kale chips look like. Gross! As a side note, kale is super cheap! Who knew...
