I weighed myself before Wednesday morning (bad, I know) just because I was curious of what I weighed. So, I was up 7 pounds total! ouch! I thought THAT hurt. I just weighed myself this morning and am up 8 pounds! It makes me mad only because I am not interested in chicken whatsoever. The thought of it makes me want to vomit and I swear it is one of the healthiest items to eat. Hopefully things will slow down as I move into the second trimester.
So, I have included a great side dish that you may need for a labor day picnic you may be attending that is coming up!
Potato Salad
Ingredients:
1 1/2 pound(s) uncooked red potato(es)
3 slice(s) uncooked turkey bacon
1/4 cup(s) reduced-calorie mayonnaise
2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
2 Tbsp parsley, fresh, chopped
1/2 tsp table salt
1/4 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
1/2 cup(s) scallion(s), chopped
Directions:
Place potatoes in a large saucepan and pour in enough water to cover them; set pan over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until potatoes are fork-tender, about 20 to 30 minutes; drain. When potatoes are cool enough to handle, slice each into eight pieces.
Meanwhile, cook bacon in a hot skillet or in the microwave until crisp; drain on paper towels. Break bacon into small pieces.
In a small cup, combine mayonnaise, vinegar, parsley, salt and pepper.
Tranfer cut potatoes to a large bowl; add bacon and scallions. Toss with dressing until coated. Yields about 3/4 cup per serving.
Add salt and pepper, potatoes, cooked bacon, and cheese. At the last minute, stir in the sour cream. Season to taste with salt and pepper before serving.
