I love packing my lunch. Growing up my parents were so good at always making sure we had packed lunches. The school I grew up in did not offer cafeteria lunch and then where I went to high school, they offered it and it was always a treat to buy here and there. Even now, its rare that I eat lunch out. Thanks to meal prep, I have my weeks worth of lunch right here. I love sheet pan meals. I threw everything on here, roasted it all and separated it out for the week: chickpeas, chicken sausage, broccoli, cauliflower gnocchi & spinach!
It has been a busy month since we last chatted! My Hubs & I celebrated 9 years, my Dad turned 70, my Brother, SIL & Niece came in and surprised everyone, Hubs is working full time, studying full time for his CPA & taking care of me FULL TIME!!! I always say, I am a full time job so he has his hands full but I get to be by his side and cheer him on, come and cheer him on with me!
I have enjoyed grilling, so for our anniversary, since it fell during the week, I grilled steak and fish! Honestly, I enjoy eating meals like this at home more than going out. I got us a great filet mignon & ahi tuna.
How cute is this donut tower? And this cheesecake! I made a GF cheesecake and used Goodie Girl birthday cake cookies for the crust! Make this recipe and never buy Cheesecake Factory cheesecake again and then thank me!!!!!! And no matter what you do, ALWAYS bake your cheesecake in a water bath, it will come out crack-less! https://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/cheesecake-factory-original-cheesecake
I LOVE food, if you could not tell and I love to snack! When I cleaned up my diet and what I was eating, snacking was probably the hardest thing! I have been making snack plates and this one included fruit, GF pretzel rods and GF/DF chocolate from Trader Joe’s, it’s made with almond milk and SO good! Next time you are there make sure you pick this up: https://vegnews.com/2020/9/trader-joe-s-vegan-milk-chocolate-bar-is-finally-here
Took charcuterie boards to a whole different level! That is something that I love about charcuterie, its so versatile!
Where are my runners at? What do you crave after a long run? I never want to eat after running, it usually takes me about an hour before I want food BUT what I do crave is chocolate milk. After taking dairy out of my diet, I wasn’t sure what to replace it with UNTIL my friend told me about: https://shop.mooala.com/products/original-bananamilk-non-perishable I bought the chocolate banana and its SOOOOO good!
Ciao!
