Here we go! Started my morning with my Sunday Ritual.... Beignet's and coffee

Not as bad as you think! But this was one tradition I was not willing to give up!

    hmmm, I'm not sure how to resize the photo. Maybe there's an option in photobucket.
    Are those beignets homemade?

    As far as I'm concerned were all here to make our lives better, not to punish ourselves.

    Food is here to nourish and nuture us.
    What we choose is all about priorities and trade-offs.

    Went I eat healthy I feel better and am happier... went I indulge I enjoy every bit of it.
    I'm trying had to eliminate the guilt/food link.

    Auntiebabs!!! Thank you for that so much!!! I have a huge food/guilt link. Even when I am under calories for the day, like yesterday! I printed your comments and taped them on my desk as a reminder of this truth! :)

    I think I will stay away from the beniegts (or however you spell that) but I think the chicken looks pretty good. I should have taken a pic of the blackened red snapper I had for supper with the brown basmati rice s/broccoli & tomato. My hubby won't eat the rice unless it has lots of "stuff" in it so in go the veggies!

    Start taking pictures!

    The beignets are my "splurge" but I count the calories and so far so good... 35 pounds in 35 weeks... I'm sure once I stop I'll have to adjust but til then.... Bon A Peteit!

    Last image of the night I swear! But I had to share these... They are by WW and they are a Fruit and Honey Energy Bar. These have been a staple for me and my husband and are absolutely amazing! Not only are they delicious, but the healthy ingredients inside will surprise you! Try them! They are 324 calories with the chocolate and hold us over til lunchtime!

    I was recently surprised to discover that beignets aren't as terrible as I thought! One beignet from Cafe du Monde is only 60 calories, though there's no real nutritional value in it to speak of. But as an occasional splurge, it's definitely not the worst choice I could make.

    Those buffalo chicken thighs and potatoes look awesome! I'm going to have to make those sometime soon. Dinner tonight was a cauliflower-chickpea curry over rice--delicious, but I didn't take any pictures.

    And could you post the recipe for those energy bars? They look so good!
