A day of baking.

Breakfast today was 2 waffles with a small spread of peanut butter, a drizzle of light syrup and a hand full of strawberries. All of course was shared with my daughter. She's kind of like a little bird and as soon as she's finished eating she comes to your plate and wants a bite. I'm hoping I break this habit before she's two.

For dinner I was going to make home made pizza with whole grain crust. And, I did...I just ended up making a WHOLE lot of dough. The pizza (pictures below) was just covered in olives and mushrooms. I'm still working on using everything in my pantry to save money. After that's all cleared out I'm hoping to only make things fresh and from scratch. No canned, boxed... you know with all that bad stuff they put int it.




The crust was crispy on the outside and warm and wonderful inside. It had a great hearty taste to it. I'm glad I just chose veggies as my topping. It was delicious. We have a ton left over.


Even P (my daughter whom I'm just going to refer to as P from now on) had some homemade pizza. She also had black grapes with hers. She loves fruit.

I had sooo much whole wheat dough left that I made two little bread loaves. I'm going to cut each one in half and then freeze them. I'll probably pull them out as needed with different meals.


I also did a TON of baking today. I had bananas, cherries and eggs that were going to go bad and I had to use them up before I had to throw them away. I plan of freezing the majority of all this stuff. I made whole grain bread, whole grain banana nut muffins, chocolate chip cookies and cherry oatmeal cookies. I only sampled a little tonight. Dinner filled me up so I didn't need to eat too many sweets. I'm going to freeze them for when guests come over. Saves me some time in the future I guess.

It's Monday and on Mondays is when I am supposed to do my weekly change. I decided to not drink soda anymore. I don't drink it a lot anyway so this isn't difficult for me. I just want to make a conscience effort to not drink it when I'm out to eat or an some one's house. I've already been cutting down a little on the sweet tea. I've been making it with half splenda and half sugar. I'm hoping to go to all splenda. Sometimes I just think it tastes funny with just splenda. Anyhow...I've been doing well with eating breakfast and eating more veggies (not quite as many as I'd like) and I've really tried to think about what I'm trying to change about myself all through out the day. It's really helped in all areas of my life.

For the next few weeks I want my weekly changes to be non-diet changes. So in other words I want to change a habit for cleaning, organizing, getting through the day or an attitude type of thing. I've already noticed that I have a better attitude towards things since I've started the change but I want to consciously work on it as well.

I hope your weekend was lovely.
