Breakfast – Going Back To Basics

Posted on

btbdiamond2

Where I work, December is a month of celebration. It starts the on the first Friday with our office Christmas Party and honestly, it lasts the whole month long. People are very generous to us and send us baskets of all kinds. Everyone bakes and brings in platters to share. So it’s pretty much, eating and snacking all day long. All day long!  I was to happy to find the resealable Harvest Reserve  Diamond Walnuts that Groovin Moms got from the LHJ Get Social Event 2013. I put them  in the pantry and forgot about them.

Being determined, I packed up the walnuts, plain yogurt and fresh fruit and took it all to work.  This is what I eat for breakfast and I keep my mind set on eating better the whole day long.  Some mornings I sprinkle on some chia seeds too.

Everyone at work  think I’m eating dessert for breakfast 🙂

Here is a photo of the fab desserts we had at the LHJ Get Social Event 2013 that were made with Harvest Reserve Diamond Walnuts.

Zhena’s Slim Me Tea

Posted on

Zhenas Tea

Tea is my first drink of the day.  I get out of bed and head over to the tea kettle and when it whistles I know my tea is about to be poured.  One cup of morning tea and no more tea for me.

 Until!

Until, I was introduced to Zhena’s  Slim Me tea.

Zhena’s Slim Me Tea comes in Mixed Berry, Cranberry Ginger, and my personal favorite Raspberry Mint.

Now I enjoy a cup of Zhena’s Slim Me tea all day, knowing that it is more than just  your regular morning or afternoon tea.  It’s a tea specially formulated to promote wieght loss.  Which after the holidays is something I surely need.

Zhena’s Slim Me tea is great in taste. Slim Me tea helps suppress appetite, especially for those Christmas cookies.  Zhena’s Slim Me tea helps boost energy, it is TEAtoxing and cleanses the body.   Zhena’s Slim Me tea is formulated with garcinia, green tea, dandelion and senna which are age old herbs used to support a healthy diet plan.  get-attachment (47)

Right a HEALTHY DIET. get-attachment (49)

Now if a nice cup of tea is not your cup of tea, here is how you can still enjoy Zhena’s Slim Me tea.  Just put the tea bag in your bottled water and sip, sip, sip.

Cool, refreshing, and hydrating along with curbing your appetite.

Birkenstock Footwear provide proper arch support, which we appreciate. Not only do they look  and feel good, they improve your posture and balance for a more comfortable walk!  Cannot wait for the warmer weather, so we can show off our new Birkenstock sandals. Naturally good.

I HOP FOR IHOP!

Posted on

ihop1Liz and I love to take our grand kids out for a  special treat while they are out on Christmas break.

                                        IHOP was the place we took them to this year!

 We  thought how wonderful it would be to share  breakfast together and enjoy their darling company.  We also knew that IHOP would provide us with a breakfast that could fill up hungry stomachs.

Are they not the cutest!  They also love to hang out with each other.

When the IHOP waitress sat us down she immediately brought over some crayons and paper for them.

The grand kids were happy to have this coloring session time.

Until!

It was spitball time!

Not sure who was the first one to start spit-balling but once they started they just would not stop.

Thank heavens IHOP is a family restaurant and they seem to understand how kids can get a tiny bit out of control.

 Out of control is an understatement.  It was like Liz and I were not even sitting at the table with them.

Liz and I could not even have a conversation without saying, “Stop it!

I tell you IHOP is a True Family place.  We loved how the waitress kept serving us with a smile.  🙂

And as it was not easy eating the hearty delicious breakfast at IHOP with the grand kids spit-balling each other.

 I certainly had no problem finishing my pancakes and omelet breakfast.  YUMMY!

Yes, IHOP is a great family restaurant and yes they served us with all smiles even when the spit-balls kept  coming.

IHOP pancakes made my day, even if the grand kids misbehaved.
