Good (chilly) morning!!
It's -10 here this morning, that does not happen here, that's soo cold!! I was super happy I could stay in bed and read 10,000000000 blogs! There are so many fantastic bloggers out there!!
I should really start a blog roll, to show some love..
Now I am happily writting this blog and watching "You are what you eat" If you have never seen it it's a great show!! It maybe a little extreme, but it's great!!
Anywhoo, after reading lots of blogs this morning, I found TONS of giveaways and I am planning on sharing with you lovelies!! Also an amazing grass discount! :) (there is a link my sidebar for the site)
I will get to all that stuff...
Yesterday I made peppermint crunch cookies.
Basically you just take any sugar cookie recipe and add crunched up candy canes. Yum...
I subbed the butter for apple sauce.
I used 1/2 ww flour + 1/2 white flour instead of all flour.
They were pretty good. They didn't have sugar cookie flakiness but they were good!!
After cookie baking, it was onto dinner.
I wasn't tooo hungry since maybe I ate a few cookies (someone had to try them out)
But I made a burger full of veggies and hummus
The burger was yummy, it was one of the super lean presidents choice burgers.
Downside - I ate red meat two times today... not smart, my tummy was not happy.
Today is going to be a meat free day!!
I started off today with a yummy green monster;
small handful of almonds
1 date
3 frozen strawberries
1/2 a banana
spinach
1 scoop wheat grass
1/2 scoop berry kids flavor amazing grass just for a bit of extra flavor
water!
Whizzzzzzzzzzzz it up in the magic bullet blender!
Yummy, I love the addition of the date.
I have to be honest, I was not into drinking this this morning, it's so cold I wanted something warm.
But now I'm glad I did!!
Question for you. Some people think raw spinach is best for you, others think it should be steamed first.
What's your thoughts on this?

I'm going to have to try the applesauce in place of the butter. I've heard of this before but have never actually tried it.
ReplyDeleteYour dog is so cute and I bet he is a great chef!

ReplyDeleteOh SO fun! I love giveaways! Everything looks GREAT!
ReplyDeleteI have read and heard from my homeopathic doctor that lightly steamed spinach is best because raw can deplete calcium. I eat raw in salads, and steamed in my GM.
ReplyDeleteThose cookies look great - love the idea of adding candy cane!
