Day 4: A Sugar-Free Birthday

By

Welcome to day four of the Sugar Free Challenge! My mom says thank you to all of the birthday wishes! We had a great day. Here is a recap:

 

Breakfast: Apple, Walnut, Cinnamon Oatcakes with coffee and coconut milk cream.

 

Lunch: Green Scramble. Lightly sauteed spinach, green peppers, black olives, tomatoes, artichoke hearts, onions, and black beans scramble with eggs, oregano, and capers.

 

Snack: Crackers with Simply Hummus.

 

 

Dinner: We celebrated my mom’s birthday by taking her out to Outback Steakhouse. I ordered the Grilled Chicken on the Barbie with a side of fresh, steamed vegetables.

Dessert: Chocolate Fudge Cake with Peanut Butter Cream Frosting. Topped with Homemade Peanut Butter Cups.

 

I’ll give you the recipe to this delectable cake tomorrow. Trust me, though, it is worth the wait. My entire family (even sugar-loving little brother) enjoyed it! I am playing a tennis tournament today, so I have to go get ready.

Thought-provoking, mind-prodding question of the day:

Do you like to give homemade or store bought gifts?

I love homemade gifts! They are so much more special. I made my mom something, but, again, you will have to wait until tomorrow to see it because I haven’t taken a picture of it yet!

  2. Yum, Like what you had for lunch.
    I enjoy making gifts for people when I have the chance. Christmas time is a combination of both – I get the children involved too and we have a lot of fun making them.

  4. YUM!!! Can’t wait to see the recipe for that cake! Looks delish!

    I discovered today that there is sugar in Salt & Vinegar potato chips! At least in the brand I was looking at. Go figure!

  7. i LOVE homemade gifts (both giving and receiving)! i’d so much rather get a straight-from-the-heart letter than jewelry, etc. any day!
    i’m glad outback has healthier options! i went when i was vegan a few years ago … yeah, i left hungry. 🙂

  13. Looks like your mom had a wonderful sugar free birthday! Good luck on your tournament! I can’t wait for the cake recipe!

  14. Yum! Everything looks so delicious! I can’t wait for that cake recipe.
    I like giving away homemade gifts, especially to my parents. Last Christmas I made my mom a cookbook of my 20 favorite recipes. It was a scrapbook style book. It took me FOREVER to do, but totally worth it!
