Eating clean doesn’t mean giving up rich foods like chocolate! There are some days that I just feel like I NEED chocolate, and as long as I consume in moderation, it’s all good! And I don’t mean Snickers or Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. Have you read the ingredients!? Yuck! I’m talking about REAL chocolate….the “dark” [...]

Unripe Cantaloupe
Darn! I sliced an unripe cantaloupe. What to do with it? Well, I read online that if you sprinkle a little bit of granulated sugar on it, and allow it to sit for awhile, it’ll sweeten up some. I sprinkled some sugar on the cantaloupe slices (refrigerated) and ate them the following day for lunch. [...]
100% Whole Wheat Banana Nut Bread
IMPORTANT: I had originally calculated the nutritional data incorrectly. It’s been updated! I had three over-ripe bananas, and of course I thought of baking some delicious banana bread! I wanted to utilize a lower sugar (or at least lower processed sugar) recipe that uses whole wheat flour, and I think I have it! At 211 [...]
Too Much Sugar
Ugh, my stomach is going wacky tonight. I feel bloated, keep drinking water to try to settle myself. I made my yummy baked french toast tonight with apples and raisins, but this time, I topped it with warm blueberries cooked in sugar. At first, it didn’t taste very sweet, but by the end of my [...]

Life is Good with Haagen Dazs
Well tonight, I decided to splurge with some nice dessert. I bought a pint of Haagen Dazs Five Vanilla Bean ice cream the other day, and we made bananas with ice cream (and walnuts) tonight. Dinner was vegetarian lo-calorie (2 oz wheat pasta with veggie tomato sauce) so it’s not too much of a guilty [...]
One of Those Days
Sigh, I think today feels like one of those days where I just want to eat eat eat. I haven’t really eaten much today, but right now, I just would like to devour a large pizza or a bowl of pasta! LOL I did have a small bowl of walnuts and Stonyfield Cookies & Cream [...]
Cheerios Aren’t What They Used To Be
Today Hungry Girl posted a question on her Facebook Page: Anyone out there try Chocolate Cheerios? Whatd’ya think of ‘em? http://www.facebook.com/HungryGirl?v=feed&story_fbid=266498302257 No surprise, of course, her loyal followers were gushing all over them! One naive woman even compared them to cocoa puffs, thinking they were healthier. Are people really that stupid, or is it just [...]
