Healthy Eating — Day 2

By

Breakfast:  Craving something warm after a hard workout and cold walk, I headed straight for a “Detox Tea”.  Some people like to put honey in it, but I find them perfect “as is” and usually make 2 cups with the same tea bag as they have enough flavor and I don’t like my tea super strong.  The tea was perfect outside and quickly followed by a pink grapefruit and a Vann’s Ancient Grains Gluten-Free Waffle (keep in freezer and just toast — I’ve found the best deals on these at either Target or Walmart, often a couple dollars less than the grocery stores) with some Peanut Butter Cream.

Lunch:  Nothing can beat the freshness of a greens and berry salad with some crunchy walnuts and that was for lunch today.  The berries were so juicy that I skipped the dressing.  How about you? What’s your favorite dressing?

Dinner:  Still looking for salad today, but something a little heavier, I went with farmer’s market tomatoes (YUM!) and lettuce over roasted garlic and pecan brown rice.  Nothing beats my little rice cooker which makes SO MUCH MORE than rice (can we say the best oatmeal ever!).  Since I’m on my own here, we’ll be seeing the leftovers of this rice again.  🙂

Peanut Butter Cream Recipe

By

Sometimes you want that peanut butter taste without the heaviness — that’s where peanut butter cream comes in.

I use about 2 teaspoons organic peanut butter and, using a fork, mix it with just over a tablespoon of hot water in a cup.  That’s it.  I suggest using less water at first and adding more to get the consistency you want.

It’s lovely, light, peanutty and warm, especially atop a warm gluten-free waffle!
