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!

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...
