Weird Food & Junk Food, oh and Good Food

Last night I made Marinara, today for lunch I put together something unique. Perhaps. Linguini Marinara Wraps (mixed Linguini and sauce added lettuce rolled in warmed tortilla). Fun to eat, not dull, and low in sodium, (131 mg sodium - 363 cal), thanks to my low sodium tortillas I found. I am going to be thinking outside the box when it comes to food. If the way I approach other challenges is how I ultimately approach making food, I'll be eating some pretty interesting and tasty stuff, all within my diet. Not sure what I'll be doing tonight.

I Downloaded the nutrition information from Papa Johns and White Castles. I learned I can have 4 white castles (actually 2 doubles) and a small fry (415 mg sodium, 995 cal, 310 Fat Calories) and stay within the limitations of my diet. That is good to know. My Garden Style Pizza thin at PapaJohns, is another story. (447 mg sodium /piece,228 cal. 102 fat cal/piece) I eat at least 2 pieces, sometimes I want a third. ( 1341 mg so/3, 684 cal 306 fat cal / 3). Trade off wise, the pizza is through the roof in sodium and calories slightly less. Both are technically "low fat" based 1/2 rule. Granted I do not plan on munching these every day, but its good to know the options.

For dinner, I marinated pork chops in balsamic vinegar & raspberry vinaigrette dressing. Then I rubbed them with Mrs. Dash® Grilling spice, and slapped them on the old George Forman Grill. The result was a salty sweet tasty dish, complimented by niblets corn, and a salad. I used a tablespoon of unsalted butter with the corn.
