Day 10- Lentil Soup

Well, I’m sort of struggling today. I think it’s the cold and the rain that is making me miss hot chocolate along with everything else. I’ve craved Chinese, Zaxby’s, Mexican, you name it. I’ve been good though. Even after Kyle said “lets just go to Zaxbys and pick up some chicken tenders”. I did think about it for a bit and then said I’ve been so good and I would feel terrible if we did!

Breakfast was a smoothie refresher with a green banana. I love green bananas!

Lunch was roasted veggies and beans. They were pretty good but next time I will wait to put the beans in after the veggies have cooked a little more. They were a little dry.

Dinner was cooking all day long. I put it in the crockpot this morning. The bad news is that neither one of use liked it. I changed up the recipe some from what they suggested and I think I should of just stuck to the original recipe. They used red lentils and I used regular lentils. I also added squash and different seasonings. I made a huge pot and I’m disappointed it wasn’t that great!

I’m planning on having some type of fruit for a snack before bed. I really wish is was a cup of hot chocolate though!

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...

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...

Chili For a Chilly Day

Burrrr it’s cold tonight! It seems like I was cold all day until I had a warm bowl of chili. Nothing can warm you up better! We had more snow today! I can’t believe all this snow that we’ve been getting. I love how pretty it is but I don’t like how everything just shuts down. I went to the grocery store this afternoon and it was a nightmare. I got all the things I needed and stood in line for about 10 min until realized that the hamburger meat I had in my buggy had a big tear in it. I had to go get another one and get in the back of the line. I just read about all the magazines they had standing in line. Did you know that Charlie Sheen is in rehab?And Justin Beiber is taking over the world?  This is not any kind of special recipe. It's the chili recipe I grew up on. It starts with a chili seasoning packet and its never the same every time I make it. Start by browning your meat. Try to get very lean meat so you don’t’ have to drain it. Chop and dice a 1/2 of an onion and  s...
