How Was Your Weekend??

Hello Everyone,

Well how was your weekend?? Did you all do anything special?? Tell us - we would all love to hear. How did you all do in the food department??

You know me - I'm kind of boring. I always eat good at least 99% of the time. When I am in a situation where I know there is gonna be bad food there, I will pick one thing and just have 1-3 bites of one bad thing - and for me it is usually something sweet.

I spent  my weekend sad and alone cause hubby had to work days and when he does he leaves around 4:30am and gets home after 7pm, that is if he doesn't stop any where. Oh well - such is my life.

I went to that movie I talked about on Saturday called, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. It was real good and kind of sad to think what will happen to me when I get old too.

When I go to the movies I always eat popcorn and probably too much of it!! Never butter. But I skip lunch and just take in some lunch meat w/cheese wrapped in the middle and eat it in the movies.  This is my way of feeling like I am cheating - even though I am not. Popcorn keeps me sane. LOL

Yesterday I made another batch of coconut butter. I am really liking the way it tastes.

 I add a whole bag of unsweetened coconut flakes in my food processor. Turn it on and let it go for at least 5 minutes - then scrape down the sides and keep doing that for about 20 minutes - I think, until it gets real creamy - like a sauce. Like this.

I then transfer it to a nice clean jar and store it in my pantry. After one day it gets real hard like coconut oil. Then when I want some - I just chip some out and put it in the microwave and warm it about 15-20 seconds before I use it. It tastes creamy like butter.

Here's what I've been eating;

breakfast Sunday - a flaxseed muffin and some ham and berries.

Lunch was a cauliflower crust pizza.

dinner was shirataki noodles w/broccoli, turkey medallions and a bit of butter and alfredo sauce

breakfast this morning was scrambled eggs w/onion, mushroom, turkey sausage crumbles, baby spinach and cheese w/oasis toast w/some of my coconut butter and natures hollow

lunch today before we left was; tuna,  celery, zucchini, croutons, bacon bits, and onion crunch w/a spoon of mayo and some Sprouts chipotle ranch dressing.

Then we went to Mom-In-Laws house for a BBQ. There was only a few of us, but it was very nice. I had a chicken drumstick, 1 rib w/ no sauce, 1/2 tiny ear of corn, and salad.

When we got home I had to have my sweets and made myself a chocolate-coconut flour muffin.

I am looking forward to hearing all about your weekends - good or bad, share.

Thanks for listening and lots of big - Mad Love for you all...

This is PurpleRosy signing off...

My thought for the day:

Choose Peace

You have the power to choose in every moment. You can choose to react with feelings of fear and judgement or you can choose peace. The experience of your life rests in your hands.

Keep on BFC ' n  :-)
