The Rest of Sunday-
I had the last of the Sweet Potato Lentil chili for lunch today- so sad! I just loved it and I don’t even really like regular chili! I also had some kashi crackers on the side.
I also had ants on a log! I used to eat this as a kid and I still love it. I subbed almond butter for PB (don’t have any) but it still turned out great! =)
Darren took Sienna over to his parents for a bit so I used to opportunity to bake! I really forgot how much I love baking- I used to do it all the time and for some reason stopped. I especially love making healthy treats- all of ED&BV’s are quite healthy. Even the indulgent ones (like Chocolate mint Melties) are full of things like Spelt flour, dark chocolate and unrefined sugar! Today I made the Double Carob Cashew Cookies although I didn’t have carob chips so I just used chocolate chips and I didn’t have cashew butter so I used almond. They still turned out great even though they were really Carob Chocolate Almond cookies!
I had 2 as a snack w/ some almond milk.
For dinner we just had a simple stir fry since we needed to use up our bok choy. I made a sauce out of almond butter (I sure eat a lot of this stuff!), braggs apple cider vinegar, garlic, soy sauce, honey and a bit of water. The stir fry consisted of carrots, celery, broccoli, bok choy, onion, and garlic plus some soba noodles!
I just had some chai tea w/ soymilk as my dessert (no sugar)!
G’night!
I’ve never had ants on a log before, the almond butter substitution must’ve tasted fabulous though!
oh my goodness, ants on a log??? that snack TOTALLY brings me back to my early childhood, haha. love it!! oh and I’ll forgive you for not having carob chips for the cookies ;0)
Ants in a log….mmm best after-school snack when I was growing up, LOVE IT! Sounds great with almond butter, yum! p.s is that chili recipe up anywhere? it loooks delish!

Everything you make looks so good! That chili rocks my world…. And those cookies are to die for! Sigh…. I wish I lived next door to Dreena.
