Crepes de jour

Crepes with filling and compote

Good morning! Or afternoon or anytime.

The crickets are singing, birds are chirping and I hear a neigh out there with an occasional bark and meow.

With the sun peeping over the mountains, it is going to be a wonderful day.

Starting it needs a special break to my fast. Ready for crepe de jour?

Good Evening!

I made it through a whole day, yesterday, and stayed on my new life style path. No substitutions, no extras. I patted myself on the back and caused myself to stumble.

Well that was yesterday. Today, not quite so good.

Do you ever find yourself stumbling?

It seams that when I’m falling, that is the time those cravings hit the hardest.

Breakfast was great today. So was lunch. Between lunch and dinner… whew! I kept going back and forth to the fridge, then forcing myself to turn to the faucet and have some lime flavored water.

It worked for a while and then… uh-oh!

So my fall didn’t quite hit bottom. But pretty close.

My biggest craving as I have said before is chocolate.

So I told myself that if I was going to do it I would do it in style.

My first question to my food oriented mind was, what can I eat that will satisfy me and stop the search for sweets before I give in completely?

Oatmeal is something that sticks to the ribs, makes my tummy happy and satisfies those hunger pains.

Avelina gluten free quick cooking oats is my substitution for healthier foods. 10 grams of carbs per serving and I will make mini servings so I should cut that in half.

No bake peanutbutter chocolate oatmeal balls.

1/4 Cup 100% natural peanutbutter

2 Tablespoons butter

1/4 Cup dark (or semi sweet) chocolate chips

1 Teaspoon vanilla

1/2 Cup avelina oats

Melt the peanutbutter, butter, and chocolate chips in a microwaveable bowl and zap for 1 minute. Stir, then zap it again by 30 sec intervals, stiring inbetween until creamy.

Add vanilla and oats. Mix thoughly and spoon into balls. Place on wax paper. Cool and enjoy.

I didn’t eat them all. And I have more for another day. 3 of them did the trick today.

So my evening turned out great. How was yours?
