@greentealael unfortunately I didn’t loose my sweet tooth with the sleeve surgery so I still love the sweet taste of these drinks and other sweet things. I’d def consider yourself lucky!! I wish my had went away😐

Oh I still have a sweet tooth but there’s a fine line of just right vs too sweet and if I’m going to risk it all, it won’t be for a Protein Shake 🤣

The cafe latte one they have is pretty good. It’s the only one I like post surgery because it’s not as sweet. Has caffeine though.

I used to use premier as a Creamer in coffee (amazing) but I gave up everything coffee almost 2 years ago 😩

Made Soup again - I love soup as you know. This one is beef, vegetables & barley. Perfect for our winters weather. Cheated a bit though & threw in some frozen vegetables to cut back on the dicing (onions, celery, mushrooms & cauliflower was enough chopping for me today). When it cools I’ll bag it up (love zip lock bags) & fill the freezer.

Y’all remember that red onion balsamic jam I made a while ago? Well it’s been sitting cozy in the fridge and was SO tasty over leftover rotisserie chicken and Spanish rice. I’ll probably finish the rice in a bit as I haven’t hit my calories for the day. 😞

About 2oz chicken, 3Tbsp onion jam, and 1/2 cup total rice.

One of my kids had a friend over so I was gonna order pizza buuuut, the pizza place wasn’t delivering because they were short on staff SO I did what I do and made pizza, crust and all. I also made brownies loaded with butterscotch, milk chocolate, semi-sweet chocolate and white chocolate confetti chips mixed in. Boy were they sugary. I think next time I’ll just mix in a few chocolate chips and some pretzel pieces. 🤷‍♀️ Who knows, I haven’t made a plain brownie in years.
Anyway, this was the first bite into 2 of the same size slices of pizza and boom, full.

This is the pizza dough recipe I used. I accidentally just mixed everything together and it was fine. It made to 9x13 sheet pans of dough instead of a 12” round, unless you want a Thick pizza dough but everyone said it was good.
My brownie secret is a box of Betty Crocker fudge brownie mix that I follow the directions for.

loaded chip brownies- add 1/3 cup of semi-sweet, milk chocolate, white chocolate, and butterscotch chips into batter

Cheesecake brownies- mix 8oz softened cream cheese with 1 cup sugar (or sugar substitute, and an egg until fluffy and swirl into batter before baking. Add 5-10 minutes baking time.

I found this recipe for spinach and feta rugelach online and I just happened to have everything to make them in my fridge sooo I made spinach and feta rugelach and I have to say, they’re super tasty but very rich. I think I’ll use some of that balsamic onion jam and some dill havarti I have to make another batch. …. I wonder if they freeze well. 🤔

It was SO easy- from start to bake time it was maybe 15 minutes. My kids loved it and it sat pretty well for me for the slice I was able to eat. Usually bread and I don’t agree so I was surprised.

I finally remembered to take pics before and after! This is a green chef meal - kale salad, balsamic mushrooms, and steak. I added a Gorgonzola sauce on to the steak! Soo “yummy delicious” as my kids say.

My eyes were definitely bigger than my stomach tonight. Vegan taco meat (homemade from TVP) with onions and bell peppers on a la banderita carb counter tortilla that I didn’t even take a bite of. 😂🤷‍♀️
Had I eaten it all it would’ve been 170 calories and 17g of Protein but I’m guessing I ate closer to 50ish calories.

dinner. Smoked chicken breast with tzatziki and salad with watermelon, feta, pepitas, and balsamic vinaigrette. Yummy! Ate all of it 😬😊
