Day 14- Saturday With My Baby

It’s been a fun Saturday. Kyle and I started out the day with no plans at all and ended up with a full day of fun.

I started out the morning with a smoothie, figure that. Since I can have oats I made a peaches and cream smoothie. I put peaches, banana, oats, and almond milk. It tasted just like peaches and cream oatmeal.

Kyle and I started the morning out by stopping by a friends yard sale to say HI! Then we went shopping a little and ended up downtown. We decided to go to Dempsey Bakery for lunch since they are an all gluten free bakery!

Kyle and I both got the grilled portabella sandwich with no cheese. It had grilled peppers, tomatoes, and lettuce on their homemade bread.

We had to ask for an alternative side since they were serving chips that we couldn’t eat. Good thing they had an alternative. Beanitos! I had never had them but they were pretty darn good. They were made with no potatoes and all black beans.

We enjoyed every bite. The only hard part was seeing all the yummy desserts including cake pops. I will defiantly be back for cake pops!

I look like a little girl with my juice box and boxed lunch.

After lunch we decided to go to the Museum of Discovery since it was the grand opening! There was so much to see and really enjoyed it.

He made it to the top!

After the museum we worked up an appetite for a little snack so we got a smoothie from Tropical Smoothie. We ordered it without any added sugar. We were highly disappointed and thought the smoothies we’ve made at home are much better.

Tonight is UFC and leftovers.

We had our leftovers from PF Chang’s. I was surprised how much I had leftover. I have a full belly and am now watching some UFC in my PJ’s.

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...

2011 AR Cornbread Festival

Saturday was the 2011 Arkansas Cornbread Festival in Little Rock. I entered the competition thinking it would be a fun activity to participate in; I had no idea how big of a festival it was going to be. The number of attendents kept increasing which made me more nervous as the competition neared. The last count I had heard was 1000 people and I thought, how am I’m going to fix enough cornbread for that many people? I knew that they would only be getting a 2 oz sample cup but still, that's a lot of people. I spent Friday afternoon and evening baking cornbread. They suggested that we make 4 13x9 in square inch pans worth of cornbread, I ended up shooting for 5 just to be safe. My cornbread was called Citrus Corny Cornbread. It originated from my mom’s corny cornbread recipe that I grew up on but I put a little twist on it by adding orange juice, orange zest, and cream cheese. After 3 trips to Walmart and o...
