Today’s recipe is something I had yesterday with some greek yogurt. I don’t always buy greek yogurt. I love the thick, custard-like texture but it is three times the price of regular plain yogurt so I consider it a special treat. For those of you who don’t know, greek yogurt is specially strained to remove the liquid from the yogurt. This leaves you with a very thick, rich yogurt that is much higher in protein than regular yogurt. The regular varieties are high in fat so watch for fat free or low fat varieties. A lot of people love FAGE but they don’t sell that brand anywhere close to where I live. I buy this Stoneyfield Farms variety.

I usually get plain but my Walmart was out of plain when I bought it. It has a very tart taste that is too much for some people. If you don’t like it, just add in some stevia or Splenda and it tastes much sweeter. Look at that texture!

Today, I added some Truvia (stevia) and cinnamon.

Then I added some chopped up apples and topped with more cinnamon! It was a fabulous mid morning snack!

Wow, guys, I ate a lot of food yesterday. I was really munchy and I’m not sure why. I’ve heard that if you eat a big breakfast it can help keep your appetite/munchiness in check the rest of the day so I’m going to try it out. I’m going to really increase the size of my breakfasts (to close to 450 calories) and decrease my dinner size and see how it affects me. I’ll keep you posted.Â
We have another bbq tonight! While I love bbq’s this is the third one this week! I need to control myself tonight with the different salads and treats because I have already splurged enough this week. Here’s my plan. I’m going to take a picture of my plate (my ONE plate) that I eat tonight and show it to you all tomorrow! It will be my “One Plate Challenge”! I’m skipping the burgers because I can have those anytime. I am letting myself have 1-2 servings of dessert (or bite of a few) and some yummy salads. That will be enough that I feel like I’ve indulged but not too much food that I get too full. Are you all excited?! Get ready for tomorrow to see the results of my “One Plate Challenge”!
On another note, do any of you other moms out there have a hard time with munching? I feel like I’m always walking to the pantry, eating off my kids plates, grabbing a bite of this or that. It’s really driving me crazy and I need to stop the mindless munching. My goal for the rest of the week, yes, I know it’s already Wednesday, is to work on the mindless munching. If I am hungry I will sit down and eat a balanced meal or snack.Â
What do you guys do to battle the munchies?
