On this, the 16th day of being on the Nutrition Wagon, I slipped. It wasn't a complete fall, because I am still on the wagon, but I slipped to the edge of it anyway.
This morning, Chris described something to me that a nurse had brought to work to share. I'm sure she felt she was being quite the friendly co-worker, but I think she must be one of satan's handmaidens. Listen to this: Heat up a can of chili. Sprinkle some shredded cheese on it, then heat it a little more. Pour that over Fritos and add a scoop of sour cream.
Fast, Cheap and Easy AND Crunchy stuff and Creamy stuff with Hot Sauce! I think I need to say the Serenity Prayer now, and accept the things I cannot change, change the things I can and have the wisdom to know the difference.
So, yes, I slipped off the wagon and ate some of satan's manna. But I only had one little tea saucer of chili and cheese and sour cream, and only enough Fritos to scoop it all up. Well, okay, and then I licked the saucer. And maybe I had a Frito or two to cleanse the palate. But I am still riding the wagon, even if I'm only hanging off the tail end of it by my fingertips.

Lol. you made me snicker out loud. I've had to claw my way past the box of twinkies in my kitchen too. But I think I'm gonna have to break down....ok, I admit it, I did inhale...
At the risk of being ever after known as yet another handmaiden of the Adversary, haven't you ever had this:
8oz of cream cheese and 8 oz of sour cream um, creamed together and spread into the bottom of a microwave proof dish. Pour on top one can of Hormel Chili (with beans, without beans..you choose although the with beans is a fiber booster. Top that with a ton of the shredded cheese of choice. Microwave until warm and gooey. Scoop and eat with whatever you choose...Fritos, Doritos, Tostitos, Wheat Thins.
I swear, you will be praising my name.
I will be cursing your name!
The heck with the wagon ~ I say life is too short to pass up Fritos!
It would have been impolite to NOT try it, right? I mean someone was kind enough to provide you with the recipe for something so delicious you pretty much HAVE to try it.
Besides, I think it's good to give yourself one day a week to hop off that wagon and eat what pleases you.
Apparently it's called "Frito Pie"

I had a very happy, very insistent Chinese lady practically shoving mouthfuls of Mu Shoo Pork at me. I failed also.
But I'll sweat a little and be alright.
The midwestern "healthy" version of that is: make a nest of Fritoes, put lettuce in the middle, put a scoop of rice on top of the lettuce, scoop of chili on the rice, lotsa cheese, sour cream, diced tomatoes. That way, you get your vegetables, you know. ;-)
