I choose now.

Today I experimented a little with breakfast. I’m sure I’m not the only one who’s done this but it’s a first for me and I thought I’d share!
Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal
You make your oatmeal however you’d normally make it, with milk or water. I made mine with 1/4 cup of steal cut oats and [...]

I made chili spaghetti the other night (I use a can of chili mixed with one of those small cans of tomato sauce and put it over spaghetti noodles, it’s really good) and I always make way more noodles than we need so today I was trying to think of something to [...]

Made this for my daughter and I this morning.  Very tasty and extremely filling!  Throw in the amazing goodness of chia seeds and this is one super breakfast.
Chia Banana Blueberry Smoothie

1/2 cup Chia Gel (see below on how to make chia gel)
1 1/4 cup whatever milk you use (we used almond milk & it was [...]

Yep I’m talking “chi chi chi chia!”  Did you know that eating your Chia pet is super good for you?  I just discovered chia seeds and I’m shocked how good these little seeds are for you. 
2 tablespoons of Chia seeds =7 grams of fiber, 2 grams of protein, 205 milligrams of calcium and 5 [...]

There is this lean cuisine I like, it’s a noodle thing in peanut sauce and once in awhile I crave that tangy, peanuty, noodly stuff … today was one of those times.  I don’t have any of it but I do have some noodles from last nights spaghetti so I started looking up peanut sauces [...]

Today I decided to experiment a little with breakfast. I used to really like those Mcgriddles from McDonald’s but since fast food kinda makes me sick even thinking about it I thought I’d try something of my own. What I liked most about the Mcgriddles was the pancake type bun and the egg, [...]

Holiday Gingerbread Muffins

1 egg
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce (the original recipe called for 1/4 cup applesauce and 3 tbs of vegetable oil but I omitted the [...]

So we got the stuff and my daughter helped me bake these up tonight. Pretty yummy! We don’t eat dairy so we used almond milk in place of regular milk but they taste just fine. I saved up some calories from dinner so that I could have one warm out of the [...]

Around this time of year I crave pumpkin and since I’ll be skipping the pumpkin pie this go round I’ve been looking for low calorie pumpkin options to curb my pumpkin cravings.  I found a recipe on sparkpeople for pumpkin muffins that looks pretty good.  If we feel like it we may go out and [...]
