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.

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...

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...

Growing Alfalfa Sprouts

Well, I gave in. I had a ½ of a warm glazed donut from Shipley’s. J It was soo good! I made a smoothie to keep me full and from eating more donuts. I call it peaches ‘n cream oatmeal smoothie! Peaches ‘n cream oatmeal smoothie 1 cup of peaches ½ cup of raw oats 1 cup of almond milk 1 tablespoon peanut butter Splash of vanilla I liked it, though I thought it was a little thick. I think I will cut back on the oats next time. Lunch was made by Kyle today! He made grilled turkey and swiss on ciabatta bread sandwiches. They were very good! Can you see the Alfalfa sprouts on my sandwich? I grew them this week! It was so easy and I thought I would share with you how you can grow them in your own kitchen as well. I had a friend of mine give me some sprouts last weekend and told me that I should try it out. She had lots of luck in growing hers, so I thought I would try as well. You need: Alfalfa Seeds (You can get them at whole foods in the bulk section) Mason jar and top Some sort of m...
