Sweet Treat

So, I’ve been doing really good lately with staying away from sugar but I gave in today for a little sweet treat. Keep reading to see what I chose for my little treat for the night.

Today started out with another bowl of Kashi cereal with skim milk, fruit, and a cup of coffee. I ended up eating more fruit throughout the morning that it upset my yummy. If I eat too much fruit I start getting that uggg feeling.
Notice how dark it is outside when I eat breakfast. I have to be a work so early. ugggg!
It kept me full till lunch.
For lunch I brought a ham and swiss sandwich with the rest of the alfalfa sprouts and lettuce on a ciabatta bun. I also brought a little thing of salsa served with Food Should Taste Good sweet potato chips.
If you’ve never tried any Food Should Taste Good chips, you should! http://www.foodshouldtastegood.com/#/sweet_potato/



I ate all the chips and salsa and only half of my sandwich. It was just too much bread for me.
I got pretty hungry about 4:30 today and popped a handful of Kashi cinnamon cereal to tide me over till dinner.
Dinner was not Mexican, but I did use the leftover chicken to make this:

I threw in some corn, carrots, and okra in the skillet and sautéed till they were nice and golden. I added the already cooked chicken to the mix, and then added a little Asian sesame dressing and soy sauce to give it a little flavor.  


I served it all over brown rice. It turned out really good!

There is a new frozen yogurt place that has made an appearance here in Maumelle. My roommate Kirby and I love going to eat frozen yogurt! We decided to take a trip over there for a treat tonight.
It’s called the Dreamy Spoon, they serve soft serve frozen desserts. You walk to a very modern IKEA with a twist of urban, look. It’s very welcoming! We were greeted by the owners Kandid and Cody Scott. It turns out that Kirby went to college with them. They told us about the flavors and gave some suggestions on what goes well together. All the flavors are made with naturally sweetened flavors and most are low fat. They have a wide variety of toppings from fresh fruit to candy toppings. They even serve coffee and Tazo tea. (my favorite tea!!!) I will have to go back during the day when I can have a hot cup of tea.




I went with a mix of pomegranate energy tart with strawberry sensation surprise. I topped mine with fresh raspberries, blueberries, strawberries and a small spoon full of semi sweet chocolate. Oh my goodness it was so good! I loved the tartness of the strawberry and pomegranate. I did just eat a small portion because I didn’t want it to keep me up all night.
If you’re ever in the Maumelle area take a quick stop to The Dreamy Spoon and visit the Scotts! They would love to see you.

    Your dinner did turn out well! I love how leftovers from a couple nights in a row turn into something delicious!

    I am a little jealous of your sweet treat by the way!

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...
