I'm craving JUJUBES!!!

So this box of Jujubes has been staring at me. Everytime I walk in the pantry, it screams "Open me!! Open me!!" I know once I open it, it will then scream "Eat me!" :lol: I am not about to cheat on Jujubes, I'd much rather have a burger and fries. ;) So instead of eating these off-plan, I worked them into my post-workout. :D I had-

1/2 protein shake (15 g. protein powder)

52 Jujubes Oatmeal Chocolate Cookie 20g old fashion oats 15g Chocolate protein powder 1g Sugar-Free Fat Free Dutch chocolate pudding mix It was delish!

Grandma Sessions' Swiss Steak- A Meal For The Entire Family

Grandma's Sessions Swiss Steak

I've been meaning to post this recipe up for over 2 weeks. Oops. After posting the crock-pot chicken, Erik also made a version of the crock-pot chicken. Since he was not use to using his crock pot for lots of meals, he emailed me asking if I had any steak recipes for the crock-pot. It was then, that I remembered my Grandmas Swiss Steak. Yummy!

The problem is that in order for me to eat chicken everyday, I have to prepare it first. Here is where our relationship is rocky. I can't touch raw chicken. As my husband as my witness, he knows to expect that I won't touch the stuff uncooked.

An Oldie But Goodie-Protein Ice Cream

I figured that I would put up a recipe that I posted on LBF several months ago. It is my nightly dessert. Although typically I am not fond of cottage cheese, you would never know that my peanut butter ice cream is made with it. I even had my husband fooled. LOL I typically make up a weeks worth of these at a time so I don't have to bother with the prep every night. I'm usually tired from a busy day and the last thing I want to do after put my kids to bed is make another meal.

Like I have mentioned before, I am all about volume or at least the appearance of it... read more 6 comments
