Some eats from this week

I have food pictures to share which is totally unusual for me since I eat the same stuff most days. Here’s some things I’ve eaten this week.

My new jam. I think this has become my favorite post race meal. The grilled chicken nuggets from Chick-fil-a are really really good. I just discovered them when we returned from China and I’m so glad that I did. These things are delicious with the fruit cup. No fries for me but they never seem to get it right. I always have to tell them I ordered the fruit cup and no fries. Do you know how hard it is to not eat those fries? But I’ve been really good at passing them up. I’m still fighting the good fight.

A good quick meal. Since we had to eat out all that time we were in China I’ve been dying to eat at home. Only hitch? I haven’t been feeling well enough to keep food down. On Sunday, I attempted to eat something besides saltines and ginger ale. I really just wanted to be able to start the week off right so I made tacos. Tacos = cheap, easy and not much to clean. The avocados were also on sale so I made some guacamole. I like avocado because it’s a good replacement for cheese. Ground turkey, black beans and grilled veggies on this low carb tortilla really hit the spot.

Willie tested out a recipe for Cooks Country.  Turkey meatballs and lemony rice.  It took a long time for him to make this but it was well worth the wait.  It was very very good.  I’m amazed at how far Willie has come with his cooking.  He’s really fancy with his food now.

Snack time.  I’ve been trying to break out of my frozen yogurt routine.  I’ve just been eating too much off it.  It’s not healthy and not easy on my pocket book.  Now I’ve been eating fruit with almond butter and maybe if I’m feeling frisky, some Puffins!  I love Puffins!

My love for nutter butter

My love for nutter butter

I love peanut butter. I can think of all kinds of combos that I love that involve peanut butter. My problem with peanut butter or any nut butter is the fat. Yes, it’s a good fat and beneficial to my health, but it’s really not something I’m comfortable eating everyday. My biggest craving in life is nut butter because I do love certain combinations. For those day I want the peanut butter without all the fat, I found some alternatives to help meet my cravings and I thought I would share with you my love of the nut butter! Here…
