Well Phancy That, Indeed!

YOU MUST TRY THIS!  Especially if you do not like breakfast.  Holy moly, why didn't I do this sooner?

CHIA PUDDING!  Breakfast of champions!  Saviour of those in a rush.  Sweet tooth lovers unite.  Pudding for breakfast.  OH.MY.GOODNESS.

PACKED with goodness as in, GOOD FOR YOU!  Chia pudding for breakfast. OH.MY.  Can't stop repeating myself!!

1 cup unsweetened Coconut Dream milk
2 Tbsp chia seeds
Add chia seeds to milk and let stand 15mins (very important step) at room temp.
Stir and refrigerate (I waited a few hours prior to adding strawberries)
Add 1 cup strawberries, refrigerate (overnight in my case)
Stir and enjoy!


5 points on the original program and it will keep you going WAY past lunch time.  Oh yeah!

Strawberry, Chia Pudding

It's Been A Long Winter...

And Spring for that matter.  And it took ages to get here.

It was a winter of change, a winter of lessons, a winter of...eating.  Too much.

We moved, we've renovated, we're still renovating.  We hibernated somewhat, we weeded out the bad from the good.  But we (I) did not eat as we should.  My son's birthday morphed into Christmas, my birthday, my two other kids' birthdays, Easter, Mother's Day....see how this happens?

But today is another day, right?  And it's a day like no other.  I am giving up smoking.  I can't do it anymore.  I shouldn't be doing it anymore.  I won't do it anymore.  I hope.

So let's call this DAY 1 - back to healthy eating, no more smoking (I can do this!!) and getting back on track!  Join me?

On the menu this week...as soon as I run out for groceries, lol.

1. Fat burning dahl soup
2. Homemade pea soup
3. Smoothies, smoothies, smoothies!!!
4. Pumpkin Soup
5. GIANT salad for the week
And not on the menu, but on the priority list....WALKING, faster, every day.
