a few people on Instagram thought i was referring to almond milk at first i'm sure, LOL. but nope, good ol' breastfeeding. i.... miss it. i went for 19 months with Chiso and i plan to go just as long if not longer with the rest of the Egwuatu clan (when He says it's time).
so it's sunday, which means it was sunday-family-fun-day for us! you can make ANY day family fun day, of course. just as long as you make it a point to spend time together as a family doing whatever makes you guys happy.
my bro-in-law treated us and some more fam to Great Kahn for dinner today- it's been a while! forgot how awesome this place is.
so it's like a big salad bar. first you pick your carbs ( i chose brown rice and tortillas as you can see),
then you pick your veggies. i went crazy and stuffed that bowl to the max. spinach, tomatoes, baby corn, zucchini, pineapple, green onion, bok choy, onions, bean sprouts, mushrooms, bell peppers, carrots.....
then you pick a seasoning. or two. or all. i took a spoonful of every. single. one. so serious.
then the proteins! which are of course, yes, raw. when we visited for the very first time, i thought this was super unsanitary;( but i got over it. shrimp, Alaskan cod, and sliced chicken breast tenderloin.
finally, you choose a sauce! you should know by now how i ate mine! on tha siiiiiiiide! i trust no sauce.
what a beautiful stir-fried master piece! they throw it all on the grill and cook it up. it was so tasty, and the price is right @ 8.99 for the lunch special.
Sonny's bowl was FULL of jalapeños unsurprisingly.
this was the bro-in-laws bowl.
then this happened afterwards as it often does. fro-yoooo! i went light because dairy's aftermath on my body is not something i look forward to the next day:( so i got a little bit of no sugar added chocolate and vanilla fro yo, some crushed Oreos, slices almonds, sprinkles, and mini chocolate chips.
Sonny got no sugar added vanilla, crushed Oreos, peanut m&m's, and..... gummy bears? oh, ok :shock:"
new flavors up in Swirll - iced mocha and creme brulee! Chiso loved them both. he's a sampler, just like his mama.
Q: what are your favorite fro-yo toppings and flavors??!? birthday cake is still #1 in my book.
speaking of sugar, here are those instructions for the homemade dark chocolate PB2 cups:
- melt 8 tbsp dark chocolate (i used malt sweetened dark chocolate from the bulk bins of HEB).
- spoon 1 tbsp of melted chocolate into the bottom of 4 different empty muffin cups (you can use liners if ya want).
- pop into the freezer for 15 minutes.
- fill with whatever your little heart desires! a tsp of PB2 mixed with unsweetened vanilla almond milk went on top of my frozen dark chocolate bottom layer.
- top your filling (make sure it's completely covered around those edges) with another tbsp of melted chocolate.
- freeze for 25-30 more minutes
- SWALLOW!
i only left mine in for 15 minutes the second time and it exploded when i tried to make a clean center cut lol! leave it in for the full 25-30 so the filling can harden too.
who needs some monday motivation? *raises hand*. have you been tested lately? every day, huh! whether it be something or someone, expect it. how you handle it is what's most important... and that's what God is waiting and watching for. before you let your flesh try to battle these minute annoyances on its own, hold that thought, hold those words, and go to God with it first. He will set everything up for you to overcome it- the place, the time, your surroundings, your words... He'll not only fix it, but He'll give you complete peace about it afterwards. our mouths and actions can get us in trouble when we do or say things that are not of Him. i don't know about you, but i need to be reminded of that CONSTANTLY cause my flesh has a whole heck of a lot to say these days! can you relate to that quote^ up there? only to an extent, right? cause some things NEED to be vocalized. but before you unload on somebody, let Him decide the when, where, what, how, why, and who! put your pride aside and do it His way, first.
nite!
