Mondays Are GREAT For Cooking!

I went all out yesterday [skip back a day & I'm sure you'll see... ] on a health kick. I'm bent on revamping my family's already moderately-healthy menu, and experimenting with some new things.

I started the day off with breakfast. A suuuper healthy breakfast:

lemon + honey + echinacea water, scrambled egg + avocado toast, chai seed & blueberry oatmeal

Yeah. Nothing like a complete breakfast overhaul. I added a spinach salad for lunch and am pretty certain I'll turn into Superwoman herself if I keep this up ;)

Work ended, and it was on home to get dinner started for all of us. We wanted to do a family pizza night, but without the traditional amount of unhealthy stuff in the kitchen. [Many thanks to 2Fit for the recipe idea!] Something I've never tried before tonight [although I don't know why!] -

veggie cheese & turkey pepperoni

I seriously felt as though I've been living under a rock, when today I realized I've never actually given way to these alternatives.

round flatbreads + 1 c sauce + 1 c veggie cheese + turkey pepps! 

she made them herself! ;)
& clearly didn't hate it afterwards... ♥

To avoid a complete shock of "health food overload," I obliged Sydni's request to finally bake a batch of the cupcakes [Frozen-themed, of course] gifted to her by Rob's dad & stepmom for Christmas. It was powder mix, so don't worry... raw mix hasn't been sitting around our kitchen since December. It was hard to justify having chocolate cupcakes on a night like this, but it was more the experience of making them together that I was after:

so. much. happiness :) ♥♥

ok.. so they're pretty good :p 

We also made some fruit & greek yogurt popsicles to offset the original offset.. 

notes for next time: use vanilla greek yogurt. 

To finish the evening, Sydni proudly tallied off her earnings of Pinkie Bucks - she's getting closer and closer to her goal of earning them all, and I could not be more proud of her! 

so proud of my girl! 

It's been a busy, healthy and productive night here at our little dwelling. Cheers to you & yours - we hope your week is off to a blazing start, too!
