Hey everyone! Who is happy that it’s Friday!?!? ME!!!!! Although Molly is not so happy… she’s being spayed today. I’m afraid we’re going to traumatize her. Pathetic pictures with the cone soon to come… But before then, here are some new ADORABLE pictures:

Haha, okay, enough Molly! I want to share with you all the amazing new dinner (or lunch, or breakfast!) idea that I put together:

Eggy Zucchini Pasta

Ingredients

1 egg

1 zucchini

1 cup sliced brussel sprouts

1/2 cup diced tomatoes (or marinara sauce)

nutritional yeast

garlic powder

dried oregano

Directions

Steam brussels sprouts for 3 minutes, add in garlic powder, oregano and tomato sauce. Spiralize the zucchini (or use a vegetable peeler to cut it up into pasta like strands – or just use pasta!). Dump brussel sprout mixture onto zucchini. Place bowl in microwave for 1 minute. While that is microwaving, quickly fry up an egg! Place egg on top of veggies and top with pepper and nutritional yeast. Tada!

It was so good when I broke open the egg, and the yolk went all gooey everywhere! Definitely a winner. Feel free to sub zucchini with actual pasta (I have none and was in the mood for “pasta”).

 

Recently I’ve been trying out some new products, and I thought I’d share them all with you! My favorite sweetener is Truvia, but when I saw that Trader Joe’s sold a stevia sweetener (and it was WAY less expensive than Truvia), I had to try it out.

It definitely doesn’t have the coarse sugar-like texture that Truvia has, but it works just as well in sweetening things, and my budget likes it a lot more!

I saw this in whole foods, saw the words “gluten free” “soy free” and “25 calories per cup”. I was sold. I decided to give it a try and it turned out pretty good! It definitely doesn’t have as good of a flavor as my unsweetened vanilla almond milk, but it’s perfect for oatmeal or thinning things out (I put milk in greek yogurt a lot…).

This one I was super excited to try, mostly because the packaging just looked so festive! Unfortunately, it wasn’t much of a hit! I don’t know, the mixture of the almond and coconut milk was just not as pleasing as I had expected…

Finally, since I’m trying to cut white sugar out, I’m trying out some dark chocolates that I stick in the freezer and break pieces off of for dessert. I grabbed this one at Whole Foods, but wasn’t too happy. I don’t know what I was expecting with the orange, but it’s kind of an odd taste. I think I’ll stick to sea salt, thank you very much.

 

 

What are some new products you’ve tried out? Any recommendations?

What’s your favorite kind of dark chocolate bar? (and DO NOT say Trader Joe’s new cookie butter chocolate bar. I’m so sad about that one. We need GF cookie butter Trader Joe’s…).
