Snack > Purely Elizabeth Blueberry Muffin (I was so exited to try her products, all and all they are good, like the pancakes the muffins were dry and quite crumbly. I grilled them in a pan the next day for breakfast with some coconut oil and they were quite tasty that way.

Day 2 ~21 Day Challenge~

Breakfast: Smoothie > Vega Chocolate Protein Powder, 1/2 Cup Frozen Blueberries, 1 Cup Unsweetened Almond Milk, Handful of Spinach, Cinnamon. Coffee.

Snack > Chobani Cherry Non-Fat Greek Yogurt.

This is a new GF pancake mix I have been wanting to try. It arrived this afternoon so we had breakfast for dinner. I got another deal from the Gluten Free Saver. 15 bucks for 30 bucks of Purely Elizabeth products. I also got a box of muffin mix, cookie mix and some Madagascar vanilla. Yummy. 

It is all natural and organic, made with millet, teff. and garbanzo fava bean flour, and chia seeds. It is sugar free as well. You can add maple syrup to the mix when making it. They were yummy, I added blueberries for sweetness and used grape jam instead of syrup. They were slightly dry, so maybe I might add some apple sauce the next time. 


Got this great shot of two Mourning Doves relaxing in a tree in the Woodland Forest. Not as warm today, it was in the 50's, so not cold either. Rain has arrived now, lots of bad bad storms in the Midwest with tornadoes. Lots of damage and destruction, it is very sad, my heart goes out to those folks. Something weird with Mother Nature is definitely going on. 2012.....?



Goodnight

Day 1


























Today is the 1st day of spring in the meteorological world and it seems to be right on this year! Highs in the 60's again today! So in my mind, spring has sprung.





In addition to sharing recipes, reviews, photography, artsy stuff, domestic things, etc. I have decided to use this blog as a means to help myself lose weight.



I am challenging myself to record what I eat each day for the next 21 days.



I will be taking pictures of what I eat and blogging about it. I have recorded what I have ate in the past and it really helps, but I think taking pictures as well will be a great inspiration.  It is spring after all, time to get to it!





Breakfast: 1/4 Cup Dry Oatmeal

                  2 TSP Chia Seed

                 1/4 Banana

                 1/2 Cup of Red Pepper

                 1 Hard Boiled Egg                    

























Lunch: Leftover Homemade GF Pizza (will blog recipe later)

           Sweet BABY lettuce

           Carrots, Celery, Red Peppers, Cauliflower,

           Cucumbers & Raspberry Dressing

           Red Grapes

           Oolong Tea































I had a snack before I went out to play in the sunshine.





























Took the pups to the community beach. Let them splash in the water. So many things are blooming ALREADY...It is so strange for it being so early in the season! I am amazed, even saw jellies in the Magothy. Here are some pics I took.



Leaves...already!



I planted this ornamental grass last spring, never died off.




Kombi checking out the water.



My favorite, a neighbors beautiful Camellia Tree!



We also went to the park, checked out the injured hawks and owl they have. The owl was hooting, first time I have seen him do this. I videoed taped it with my camera, but apparently the audio wasn't on. GrRrrRR!



Dinner: Baked Flounder with Lemon & Red Onions

             Raw Veggie Mix

             1/2 Cup Brown Rice



























Now I am ready for bed. I might do some felting before I turn in. Once again I am grateful for another beautiful day.
