All this chocolate talk had me reminiscing about those giant dark chocolate pb and j cups I used to make all the time (peek the halloween version LOL). I’ll head to the grocery store today to get the ingredients and make them again.

I couldn’t stop thinking about them (thanks lot) so I made orange dark chocolate Peanut Butter cups and stuffed two of them with jelly. Unfortunately didn’t get any of the ones with jelly, I had a whole one.

went on a sauce/condiment making rabbit hole yesterday...

from left to right:

1) garlic chilli crisp oil

2) ginger green onion sauce

3) simple Syrup

4) earl grey infused simple syrup (made this on whim and don't know how i survived all this time without it! #yum) added a generous drizzle over some silken tofu....😋

**last pic: a tbsp each of the chili crisp and the ginger sauce with 50g of Char Sui (aka Chinese bbq pork)...ate it all! (224 calories)

oops i did it again:

came home from 2.5 hours of hot yoga and was too lazy to fix something so reached for some junk.

sour cream & onion chips, 1/4 of a coconut bun and 1 of those dark-chocolate-peanut-butter cups i made the other day.

317 calories for it all.

ate almost all of it.

(i really need to make sure there is something to eat when i get home from yoga/pilates/rock climbing....need to go grocery shopping!!)

Breakfast (2.5 hours post a weight lifting and jogging session)

1 slice Protein toast, 4 slices turkey breast, lite cheese, spicy mayo, lettuce and jalapeños. How I did:

Had the rest an hour later. Approximately 314 calories for the whole thing. Also had a Protein Shake 1.5 hours prior.

Doing pretty good! My first meal post-op was liquids and since I kept it down I got mashed potatoes and Soup for dinner. I have my 2 week post op this coming Friday and by then I should know when I’ll be allowed back to work. Meals this past week have been mostly on the older kids to make because I’m too tired by dinner to care. 😂🤷‍♀️ So for me I’ve been eating mostly salads. The one with corn is vegan ground beef, green chilis and corn. The kids topped theirs with cheese and cornbread batter and baked it.

Glad you are doing well!

What you ate wouldn’t have kept me full for 20 straight minutes LMAO

[ms.sss 15,580]

well...we didn't end up going to Costco...whomp whomp

we got distracted house hunting and then ended up picking up Popeyes in the way home...double womp womp.

an onion ring, 3 boneless chicken wings, and a scoop each of cole slaw & the mashed potatoes. estimated 370 calories for the before pic.

ate the sides, a bite of the onion ring (not very good) and 1 of the chicken wings which turned out to have a bone in it, surprise! hahah.

We always called it egg in a hole. Unimaginative I know. Toad in the hole is something different @ms.sss. It’s sausages, usually beef but can be pork, baked in yorkshire pudding batter. Served with onion gravy, mashed potatoes and whatever other vegetables.
