This is how I survived:
Day one-
Peanut Butter and Jelly for Lunch
Leftover pasta for dinner (YUMMY, onions, tomatoes, sundried tomatoes, cinnamon, cream...)
Day two-
PB&J for lunch
PB&J for dinner (I have explanied before my love of these have I not?)
2 fruit leathers
Day three-
this is where it gets sad
1 PB&J with the very smallest of butts of the bread. Which means no more bread.
Have you been to my house? Have you looked in my cupboards? I don't even have dried pasta let alone "convenience foods". It's times like these that I kick myself for not keeping such things around. And so for dinner:
Banana- Oatmeal- Berry Muffins, oh ya they are good, and pretty dang healthy. (I am attempting a healthy december) Would you like the recipe?
1 1/4 cups flour ( I would have done half wheat flour if I wasn't out of wheat flour)
1 cup oats
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup soy milk (regular will work too, I used soy)
1/4 cup oil
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 ripe bananas, mashed
1/2-1 cup frozen/fresh berries (i had frozen mixed berries)
Mix dry ingredients, mix wet ingredients and then combine, as always do not overmix. Spray pans. It makes a dozen regular size muffins.
Bake at 400 for about 20 minutes.
If you are also hoping to not gain 10 pounds this month let me know and I will keep posting "semi-healthy" -"healthy" alternatives.
John returns tonight so no worries, life will return to normal tomorrow, perhaps even a pb free day. but then again perhaps not, i am slightly addicted i think.
