food, food, food...

No, your eyes are not fooling you, that really is fried chicken and waffles!! And they were good.

Pita Pizza, I've missed you.

Lentil soup.

Not too bad, if you don't mind swallowing chunks of fruit.

Baked Sweet Potatoes

I love sweet potatoes! ~ sweet potato fries, pie and of course covered in butter, sugar, cinnamon and mini marshmallows!!


Of course I don't eat them like that very often, I'd have and even bigger bubble butt than I already do.


So another way I like to have them is simply baked plain with a touch of salt.


I buy the biggest ones I can find, cut them into halfs or thirds and bake them covered with foil at 400 for about 1 hour.
I like to make enough to last me a couple of meals.




Look at that color! Beautiful, right?

I like to eat them as a side to a main dish or just by themselves. Sometimes, I sprinkle a little cinnamon, or a drizzle of honey or agave nectar.
And since I bake a few at a time, I refridgerate the remainder and all I have to do the next day or so, is heat and eat.
Yum!

Acorn Squash

I bought an Acorn Squash the other day and decided to cook it today.

First I washed and cut it in half.

Scooped out the seeds...

Layed it cut-side down in a glass pan with approx 1 inch of water...

and baked it a 350 for 45 mins.

Poured off the remaining water, flipped them over and sprinkled with cinnamon and brown sugar.

Baked for an additionl 20 mins at 400.

Easy Peasy! Delicious and nutritious!

Holiday Binge

OK, well maybe not as drastic as a binge, but I did get my grub on over the holidays. I spent a week at my parents' house for Christmas and there was goodies galore. Of course I had to partake in the deliciousness but I did try to not go too overboard. I haven't weighed myself since I've been home. I don't want to know the damage done yet. My plan is to just get back on track and weigh myself in a week. That way, if I've gained tons, I won't know, therefore I won't get all depressed about the number.

The moment I got home, I got right back on track.


Here's some of what I've been munching on...

~Taco Salad

~Minestone soup

~PB toast, orange

~Eggs and toast

~Apples and veggie burger

~Gum, we all know it's great for that sweet bite and to keep from munching mindlessly

~Fruit

~Snack

I've been considering a blog make over...

It's been almost 2 years and I'm ready for a change.

Food Pics

So, I've really been rockin my healthy eats and baby weight loss. I jumped back on the wagon about 2 weeks ago with a goal to lose 30 pounds by my 30th birthday in April. So far I'm down about 8 pounds and I don't even feel deprived, so I must be doing something right.


On to the food...


Chicken ravioli with a veggie red sauce.
Garden salad with my must have; raisins.

A veggie burger, veggies and sweet potato chips.

Chickenless chicken burger and baked sweet potato.

Egg whites, turkey bacon and a toasted sammy thin.

Healthy Choice sweet and sour chicken.

Food Should Taste Good sweet potato chips.Lentil soup with whole wheat bread spread with ICBINB.

Another TV dinner (don't judge, they're quick and I'm busy) This one was chicken pesto pasta something or other.

More salad.

I'm also proud to tell that I've been keeping a container of cut up veggies in the fridge for my snack attacks, I've successfully fought all my late night urges to kill the rocky road ice cream and I attended 3 christmas events that all had goodies galore, but I made wise food choices and did more socializing than eating.

I'm here, I'm good

Oh little blog of mine, I know I've neglected you. Please forgive me. I've been a busy little bee trying to split my attention between my 2 little princes, finals, maintaining the house and preparing for Christmas. But I do have good news.
