Breakfast: 2 eggs and a grapefruit

Snack: 1 cup plain yogurt, 1 Tbs stevia, 2 Tbs peanut flour, 2 Tbs cool whip (finished off the tub from the holidays) and 1 chopped apple

Tip: when stirring peanut flour into yogurt use regular, not Greek. Greek is too dry for this use and the peanut flour adds protein so Greek is not necessary.

Lunch was chicken fajita salad: Sauteed onion and peppers with chicken breast seasoned with a splash of lime juice, cumin, and chili pepper. Dished over lettuce with cilantro, chopped avocado aand Jack’s fresh salsa. Delicious!

Afternoon Snack: 1 detour bar and some home dried strawberries. I had a huge costco bag of strawberries that I had never opened. When I did to make a smoothie it was FULL of ice. So I thawed them out and dried them overnight in a small dehydrator. They are a nice treat and change of pace.

This evening I took Heidi and Heather out to Zona Rosa, a very fancy shopping district in the North part of Kansas City. There’s a ballet shop nearby where we bought Heidi a new pair of pointe shoes. Then we stopped by a shop called Village Vintage, which is a sort of flea market and also carries Annie Sloan Chalk paint. I’ve been drooling over chalk paint for awhile but didn’t feel like driving that far to spend that much money. I bought gray and both kinds of waxes. I hope to paint the new table top that is coming for my Pottery Barn knock off project table. The top will be gray and the bookcase legs white. I have twin china hutches in my dining room that would love to be gray too. Lots of furniture really could use a touch up around here :). I also got a huge gawdy mirror that I adore. It was only $35!
