I saved a few for me and sent the rest with Kyle. He said they were a big hit!

This morning I decided to just have a smoothie because I had plans to go out to eat for lunch and dinner with friends.

I had a strawberry electrolyte smoothie!

Lunch was spent with my friend Lacey!

We went to Somethings Brewing in Conway. This brought back so many memories from college. The meal was so good but ended having just a little too much sugar. They brought out my meal but never brought out Lacey’s meal. We waited and waited and she finally decided to remind them. They apologized and said it was coming out. They ended up giving her meal to her for free and brought out a huge piece of orange yummy goodness cake ( I made this name up. I don’t know what it was called )! Oh my, this was so good! I had just a few bites but it was so rich.

I had a chicken salad sandwich on whole wheat bread with a side of chili. The chili ended up be huge!

I also ordered a strawberry mocha! It was soooo good but soooo sweet.

Tonight I had dinner with another friend. We went to The House! I always loving going to this place. I ordered something different. I got the Spinach and Chevre Salad.  It had baby spinach, sliced strawberries, marinated onions, almond crusted chevre, croutons, and fresh raspberry-red wine vinaigrette. Yum! It was a great light dinner since I had such a large lunch.

I love Almond Butter

Hello again! It’s been a busy day for me today but it’s been a good food day. ;) The blender worked out a little better for me this morning. I guess it just needed a little using before I got used to it. I started today with an Energy Smoothie. It was really good. It was my first time trying the spice Cardamom. Energy Smoothie ½ C Almond Butter 1 Teaspoon Ground Cardamom 1 ½ C water 1 C Frozen Peaches 1 to 2 Teaspoons of Agave ½ C Ice I cut this recipe in half. The Cardamom was pretty noticeable. It’s hard to describe but it was a little like cinnamon. I loved the Almond butter. I tried a new brand this time. It was very creaming right out of the refrigerator. I drank most of the smoothie on my way to work. I was pretty hungry when I woke up this morning.  Lacey enjoyed the Mango Smoothe today. Isn't she cute! I had a cup of hot green tea about 8:30. It hit the spot! The smoothie held me over till about 11. When lunch time came around I was hungry. I had to take a quick lunch...

Soba Lo Mein

Is everyone ready for all the snow they say we are going to get tomorrow?  I hope this is the last of it. I’m ready for Spring! Flowers, bike riding, and walks in the park! Tonight I decided to use the Soba noodles I bought back when I couldn’t eat gluten. Soba noodles are made with 100% buckwheat flour and are gluten free. I’ve never tried them but I thought they would taste more like whole wheat noodles which I love. I decided to use my Chicken Lo Mein recipe without the chicken and with Soba instead of whole wheat. They didn’t taste quite like whole wheat noodles. They had the same texture but a really odd after taste. I think I stick to whole wheat from now on. You can make this Lo Mein with whatever noodles you prefer. The peanut sauce mixed with the soy sauce is so good!! I used the following ingredients.   I started out by sautéing some onions and a garlic clove in 2 tablespoons of toasted Asian sesame dressing. While you are cooking your noodles add in the ve...

It's a Mango day!

Hello all! I’m sorry I’m just now posting. I was planning on blogging my meals throughout the day today but that didn’t go as planned. I started the day off by getting up 10 min earlier than my normal day. Alarm went off at 5:20am! It was early and I wanted some coffee. But I settled for a cup up Organic Apple Red tea. It was pretty good and seemed to satisfy my cravings for a hot cup of something. The smoothie I decided to make this morning was the mango smoothie. I started blending it all up and made a huge mess. I think I need to get up an extra 5 min tomorrow. ;) Here are the ingredients: Mango Smoothie 1 ¼ Almond Milk ½ Coconut Water 2 leaves of Kale ¼ Avacado ½ Cup Frozen Mango chunks ½ Cup ice   if needed. I liked it! I think I could have blended it a little longer because I had some chunks of kale but I didn’t mind. It held me over till about 10am. I then decided to have a small handful of sunflower seeds/almonds. Noon! I was ready for lunch. I brought a salad with...
