Well it has certainly been a long time since I posted! I attribute it to birthday madness! I have been doing pretty well with eating clean, still feeling like I need to branch out and not stick to the same group of foods. So I have decided that once a week I am going to get something out of the ordinary. A new veggie or whole grain snack just to spice things up! Last week I made turnip fries...uh...yeah not my favorite...I don't like turnips apparantly ha...but I gave it a whirl! Anyway I went to Cost Plus World Market this weekend and aside from the delcious plum wine I bought (a new weakness ha) I also bought Fitness bread! What is fitness bread you may ask? Here is a little blurb on it.
