Good afternoon!
I hope no one has had any bad luck today. :) My day is going great! Flying by and I still have much to do. Isn’t that always the way though?
I had a fabulous lunch today!
I had a large sweet onion in the fridge and I made that the centre of the meal. I LOVE sweet onions and I find they taste fabulous in a stir fry. They are the only onion that don’t make my eyes water too!
With some frozen veggies:
I made my healthy, antioxidant packed tomato + avocado sauce again. I LOVE this sauce! I strongly suggest trying it. :)
The sauce:
- 3 Tbsp tomato paste (preferably salt free)
- 3-4 Tbsp pasta sauce (I used organic healthy lovers brand)
- 1/2 avocado, mashed
- Glug of Almond breeze (1 Tbsp approx)
- Pepper + Italian seasoning
This sauce is AMAZING!!! :) I will be making this again and again!
Even Sketchie wished he could have some!!
Other great eats today included 2 ALL VEGGIE Green Monsters (I am now used to these all veggie ones!), Mary’s Crackers (2 servings) and a huge oversized apple. Hopefully I will be glowing come tomorrow from all this great food!
A Lovely Donation To The Furniture-less Couple:
Look what my brother- and sister- in law gave us!
What a beautiful coffee table! I am in love with it. They didn’t have any room in their house anymore for it so they were kind enough to give it to us. They also gave us a small blue couch to match the one they gave us earlier this year as well as a wood coffee table. Thanks guys!! :) Hopefully they don’t want any of it back….tee heee…

I called Eric to tell him and he was like ‘I know….”
lol. Not sure why I got that messed up!
Well guys, I have some baking (experimentation) to do now!! See you tonight for my workout and baked goodies. :)
I hope you have a great start to your weekend whatever you may be doing. :)
Question of the Day:
Is there a dessert or baked treat that you absolutely hate even though everyone else seems to enjoy it?
I would have to say mine is cheesecake. I don’t hate it, but I don’t particularly like it and never have! People think I am nuts when I pass it up.
What’s yours?
Any type of cakes. I hate frosting especially.
donuts. I’m sorry, I grew up on an island and we just didn’t eat them. I had my first one in college and was underwelmed.
I don’t like custards or Lemon Meringue pie either!
I also am not a huge chocolate cake fan myself!
growing up we would always ask for ‘white cake with white icing’ :)
Those oil sheets SAVE MY LIFE. haha I don’t know what I would do without them.
I hate brownies (even though your’s looked totally delicious!)…they are just soo monotonous to me. Nothing special.
Same with me with the cheesecake! I’m not a huge fan either! Steve loves it though!
woohoo for the shoot being on Sunday!!
BEAUTIFUL coffee table!
I don’t particularly hate any desserts, but I’m not big on moist cakes as they seem a bit oily and gross to me, most cream filled things as it makes the treat too sweet, and most pies as they also seem to be too sweet. I do enjoy the pie crust and mild pies like pumpkin..but pies like blueberry & cherry are just so sweet it’s icky!
I used to like cheesecake but then I spent a summer baking it weekly (I worked in a resort kitchen as a pastry chef). It’s such a finicky dessert to make – I swear it cracks if you LOOK at it the wrong way.. lol! I absolutely can’t stand lemon meringue pie. Yuck! Everyone I know loves it though.
Count me in as hating custard and any creme brulee desserts! I also dislike bread and rice pudding pretty intensely… My favorite dessert is warm cookies straight from the oven!!
I’ll eat most sweets and baked goods, but I don’t like chocolate/fruit combos. Especially raspberry and chocolate, ugh!
I don’t really like pie (except key lime) but I think mincemeat pie is totally disgusting. I like everything in mincemeat pie, but put it together and it makes me want to gag.
I’m a little late here (I checked out the first post and got hooked lol) but when I read your question at the end the very first thing that came to mind was cheesecake. I really don’t get the hype over cheesecake, it’s not even good!!! I don’t understand why people eat it. I don’t hate it but it’s so not worth the calories.
