Waffles with bananas

Waffles

Waffles with bananas and organic blueberry syrup and pure maple syrup. This was my breakfast the other day. It was so good and not junk. It was easy to prepare. I got the waffles from Costco, which is really a good deal. I’d like to make my own waffles but it takes time, so frozen waffles save me time. I always buy the pure maple syrup because it’s more natural and tastes way better than waffle or pancake syrup. I wish I had fresh strawberries on that day, but it still tasted really good with bananas.

Breakfast

This is a late post. I had this breakfast about weeks ago. It was cereal with bananas and some dried fruits (cranberries and raisins) and cashews, 1/4 bagel and green tea. It was delicious!

Christmas goodies

 

Goodies

These are the goodies (granola, fudge, pistachios, chocolate  acai with blueberry, cashews) we received from my mom-in law through FedEx the other day. We received two packages. We are not going to open the other box (as requested by my husband’s mom) until Christmas.

Too many sweets this Christmas season, but I give myself permission to indulge during this time of the year. I know this is going to blow my diet. -Read More …

Thanksgiving dinner

"Tofurky'

 

We had a great Thanksgiving dinner yesterday. Actually, we had a vegan dinner. No turkey harmed and no dairy at all. My family loved it. We had a Tofurky roast, cranberry sauce, bread, green beans and mashed potatoes. No dessert! haha I asked my family, if they want a pie or ice cream, they didn’t seem to be interested in it so I didn’t bother myself making or getting one at the store. Actually, I only like apple pie and it has to be from Julian.

Thanksgiving is not only a national holiday but it’s the time of the year to give thanks to the Almighty God. In 1789, George Washington instituted Thanksgiving and recommended to the people in the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer. In 1863 President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed this tradition to be a national holiday to praise and thank God.

Homemade potato chips

"Potato chips"

 

My stepson always asks me if I could make him potato chips. Finally, I made him some the other day. He really liked it. He jokingly told me that I should open a restaurant and sell some potato chips. lol Anyhow, the process of making home made potato chips is very easy. You will need the following:

Russet potatoes
canola oil or vegetable oil
salt

Directions:

Cut potatoes thinly.
Rinse with water until the water becomes clear. This is to get rid of too much starch found in potatoes.
Soak them in water with salt.
Fry them until golden brown.
Serve with salt
