I’m going to create a #salsa diet #myplate
Simplfy, Simplfy, Simplify…

My Mom got me a Black & Decker 8 cup food processor for Holiday Gift, so I’m going to use ChooseMyPlate.gov to create a Salsa Diet. Somehow, I will figure out a collection of three salsas that will allow me to get all my fruits and vegetables in every serving. I’m going to collect recipes and post them here SALSA RECIPES Each salsa will have fruits and/or veggies, along with other fresh/pantry ingredients to taste.

The meal plan will be to have salsa with eggs or chicken for each meal, salsa with tortilla chips or greek yogurt for snacks. Rounding out the calories and servings with my indulgences: Flavored creamer and Coffee, Belvita crackers, Slim-Fast shakes, and Baby-bel snack cheese.

Captain Crunch / Cocoa Puffs Diet

So everyone knows that the Special K diet only works because you’re simply just not eating two meals, and eating a whole hell of a lot of fiber and cereal. A charactor in a book I just read, Water Witches, was eating Captain Crunch and Cocoa Puffs mixed together, which I just thought sounded fabulous, so I was compelled to drive to Schnuck’s and buy some for myself, and it was indeed, fabulous. Which got me to thinking, my dad had told me once when he used to work at food tech corporation called Griffith Laboratories, he learned that all the grains used for cereals and bread products are enriched and fortified to make them “extra nutritional,” which means that the same enriched grains that go into Special K and Cheerios, go into Cocoa Puffs and Captain Crunch, which inspired me to actually look at the nutritional content of Special K, Cocoa Puffs, and Captain Crunch. What did I discover?

Special K Chocolately Delight has 120 calories, 20 from fat, 3% DV fat, 10% DV saturated fat, 8% DV sodium, 2% DV potassium, 8% DV carbs, 5% DV dietary fiber

Cocoa Puffs has 110 calories, 10 from fat, 2% DV fat, 0% DV saturated fat, 6% DV sodium, 2% DV potassium, 8% DV carbs, 4% DV dietary fiber

Captain Crunch has 110 calories, 15 from fat, 2% DV fat, 6% DV saturated fat, 8% DV sodium, 1% DV potassium, 8% DV carbs, 3% DV dietary fiber

As to the other nutirients, Special K and Cocoa Puffs, are shoulder to shoulder, with Captain Crunch being essentially just not that bad.

So here’s to the Captain Crunch / Cocoa Puffs diet!

Hello World!

I’ve decided to start blogging.

Yesterday was my birthday, I decided that I am celebrating my 25th birthday. I went to Pearl’s Oyster House and Tug’s. Had raw oysters and boiled crawfish at Pearl’s, crawfish was a bit high class, tasted like crawfish-lobster style, but still tasty. Had bread pudding and coffee on the house at Tug’s, was also tasty, but as in usual Tug’s fashion totally different from the last time I had it there, I had to ask for ice cream.

My parents are visiting, they borrowed my car during the day, so they had to drop me off at work. We had also decided to take pictures for the website at work, so between Picture Day and parents dropping me off, it was very de ja vu.

I learned that the Glade Candle Scents holders are magnetic, so in between I can use them as jewelery-hairpin trays. Those holders look great and the candles actually “fill the room with fragrance” quickly. On my list of regular monthly supplies.

It’s snowing outside! Took pictures and video of the puppy in her first snow.

Going to Midtown tonight to see Lord T and Eloise play at the HiTone Cafe, but first dinner and drinks at Molly’s LaCasita!
