Sweet Potato Chips

There are so many good shows on tonight I can’t even stand it! I’m looking forward to The Office and Parks and Recreation!

I LOVE reading other food blogs. I love to get new recipes and see how creative they can be. I could spend all day looking at food. I know, crazy!

Today I spent the morning working in the office and the afternoon working at home. It snowed for the most part of the day but there is no snow on the ground right now. ;(

For breakfast this morning I had a bowl of Mom’s Best oats topped with frozen mixed fruit that was nuked in the microwave.

This was a freakin  good lunch!!

You know how you are supposed to stick with a variety of color when you eat? Well I didn't do so well with that goal on this meal.

Even though dinner was pretty orange it was very flavorful! This is a cup of tomato soup from the soup bar at Kroger and sweet potato chips.

Chop up a sweet potato into thin slices. The thinner the crunchier.

Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.

Place in 375 degree oven and cook for about 15 to 20 min or until cooked all the way through. Stir halfway through cooking and drizzle with more olive oil if needed. Once just about done cooking drizzle with honey, stir, and cook for a few more minutes.

I love the crunchy ones!

Since it’s cold outside and we had snow today I made a cup of hot cocoa. It was made with vanilla coconut milk + teaspoon of cocoa + small squrt of agave

IMAG0351

The vanilla flavor add so much to this cup! Mmmmmmm

Well, it’s kind of hard to type and enjoy my cup of cocoa so I’m going to wrap it up and go watch the office.

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...
