weekend review: sometimes you just need pizza

 Figure 1. Saturday night's dinner: chicken picatta (8/10), orzo with lemon rind, and roasted Brussels sprouts with bacon, shallots, and garlic (8/10).

Figure 2. Sunday morning baking: chocolate chip protein bars (5/10; the taste of these is pretty good, but I couldn't get them out of the pan in one piece. For 100 calories and 8 grams of protein each - I ate them out of the baking sheet with a spoon - worth it.).

Figure 4. Sunday night's dinner: fennel sausage and roasted pepper pizza and a spinach salad with toasted pecans, feta cheese, dried cranberries, and a homemade maple vinaigrette (8/10). I gave up on my plans of making an involved Sunday night dinner when faced with an insatiable last minute pizza and beer craving. Enter: frozen pizza. The frozen pizza from Target may be soy-free, but it is not good. I ate it (I mean who throws away perfectly good pizza), but won't be going back for the leftovers. The beer (and salad, obviously) on the other hand, was quite delicious.
