Day 9... Toasted Parmesan Croutons

Day 9:
Weight- 184 (Either my weekend slacking or clothes, I'll go with clothes LOL)
Treadmill- 20 minutes, 1 mile and 65 calories burned.

This morning started off great!! Woke up, got the girls dressed and out the door and made it to the Y bright and early...after my treadmill routine, I wasn't feeling so well so I chose to skip my BF class.  A choice I already regret but I don't think I would've been very productive anyways with the way I was feeling. Just means tomorrow I will kick back into overdrive and make sure Wednesday I make it to BF again...

I had the best weekend in a long time!  I worked for the first time in about a year, and it was a blast.  Don't get me wrong, I am very thankful that I don't have to work at the moment, but it sure is nice making a dollar on my own. 

Luckily, I got to keep a huge load of BBQ!  I have enough chicken, brisket, and ribs to last us a month probably, so be ready to see alot of re purposing meals coming soon!!

This is something that I decided to try after watching my favorite cooking show "Mexico: One Plate at a Time" where he was making Chicharones de Queso!!! Basically, Crispy Cheese Skins!! This is what I came up with...

Toasted Parmesan Croutons

Ingredients:
1/8 cup shredded Parmesan Cheese
That's it!!!

Heat a small skillet to medium/high heat and scatter cheese around the pan.  Once the cheese is melted and crispy around the edges, should take about 2 minutes, flip and cook another 2 minutes.  Lay over a rounded surface if you want to shape it or just lay flat on a paper towel to drain any grease. 

This was a great crouton to crunch up in a salad and would be great with a soup!!! In love with these things and since it uses such a small amount of cheese, each one was only about 35 calories :)

Happy Monday friends!!! Loveyoutoo
