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

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.

Day 1–Have a Headache Already

Happy New Year to everyone! Day 1 of the detox started today. It’s been pretty tough,I’m not gonna lie. I went to Whole Foods and Walmart yesterday to get all the fruits and vegetables I needed for the week. I’ve had a headache all day due to the lack of caffeine. I really don’t drink but maybe a cup and a half of coffee and a glass of tea a day. But I sure did miss it today. This morning I got up to help in the nursery at church. I made the Antioxidant smoothie. You can find the recipe here . It was really good, a little tart but not bad. When I got to the church I got a cup of unsweetened green tea (no caffeine) so I could convince myself it was a cup of coffee. The tea and smoothie held me over till about 11:30. I made a nice little salad for lunch with water with of couple apples thrown in. My salad had spinach, avocado, cucumbers, carrots, cherry tomatoes, and pumpkin seeds dressed with balsamic vinaigrette I did get pretty hungry this afternoon so I made the roasted chi

Vanilla Bean Almond Butter

I don’t know about you but I LOVE nut butters. I have never made my own because I didn’t realize out easy it was. I’m telling ya, everyone can make nut butter as long as you have a decent food processor and there's not turning back. I’ve had some left over vanilla beans from the vanilla I made a while back and wanted to use them, so I decided to use them in the almond butter. I made this about a week ago and it’s already half gone! It’s like a yummy creamy dessert. Once you try fresh pure nut butters you will never go back to store bought. Only 3 ingredients and no added oils! So here it goes: Start out by toasting your almonds until they start to smell yummy. Pour your almonds in the food processer and start to process. You will need to process for 8 to 10 minutes and stop several times to scrape down the sides, so be patient. Stage 1 Stage 2- Powder Stage 3-The natural oil starts to come out and its starts to ball up. Stage 4-Almost there, just a f

Italian Sausage and Tortellini Soup

Today was a great day! I didn’t have to work and I got to spend it with Kyle!! He is leaving tonight to go to Colorado to ski with the boys. I’m excited that he is getting to finally go skiing. He hasn’t been in a few years and has been itching to go. I relaxed, cooked, ate, and got my oil changed. Good day! I made some treats for Kyle on his road trip but I’m not going to share it with you till tomorrow, so stay tuned. This morning was a pancake morning! I’ve been wanting to make some pancakes with whole grain oats so I thought I would experiment a little. I started with Bob’s Mill whole grain pancake mix. I added egg+ vanilla coconut milk+ oats+ chia seeds. Topped with Almond butter and frozen strawberries nooked in the microwave!  I love to add chia seeds to my oatmeal and anything I can add them to. I buy them in the bulk section at Whole Foods. Chia seeds provide fiber, protein, and antioxidants. It’s just a little added benefit! Lunch was spent at Genghis Grill. We wer
