The above package just left Melbourne, FL and is heading to our nation’s capital. On Wednesday, the Chocolate Peanut Butter, Coconut Lime, and Spiced Fig Hummus will be arriving in the DC area. I’m getting the hang of this shipping thing which is good since the requests have steadily increased over the past couple of months. So if you’d like to jump on the bandwagon, let me know and you too can enjoy a bit of sweet hummus to warm up your winter day.

Saving the World One Dum Dum at a Time
I love going to the drive thru teller at the bank! Little do they know that when they send back my cash, license, and include a Dum Dum lollipop (or 4 if my kids are with me) that they are actually fueling my mission to promote healthy eating. Yep, that’s right. I take those lollipops and toss them out. Today I saved the world from the Dum Dums picture above! We are now that much closer to winning the war against sugar!

Tropical Smoothie Trumped!
Yesterday, after a well-child appointment and before pick up of my first born, I stopped at Tropical Smoothie since I had a BOGO coupon for smoothies. I thought it would be a nice treat for the kids, and it had been a few hours since I had eaten lunch so I needed a snack too. I ordered 2 Peanut Paradise smoothies (yogurt, bananas, and peanut butter) without the whey protein (you never know what kind of cheap stuff you may get) and without the 180 calories of added sugar. My kids “drank” some, and left the rest untouched (they split one since they are HUGE!). I like my smoothies thick like a traditional milkshake, but these were so thick and grainy that we could barley get them to come up through the straw.
The consensus was this:My kids liked my homemade smoothies better!
Here are some of our favorites:

A Cookie, Fries, Nuggets, and Cake
On Thursday, I had the pleasure of being at my daughter’s school to celebrate her birthday and help with her class’s Valentine’s activities. For her birthday treat, she chose to bring in sugar cookies and fresh fruit salad. The cookies were simply the “pull apart and bake” kind from Immaculate Baking Co. with some sprinkles of her choice. The fruit salad consisted of grapes, Plant City strawberries, and fresh cut pineapple. I could not believe that there were about a half dozen of kids that would NOT eat the fruit! What kid doesn’t like fruit??? I passed out the fruit salad first with the intent that they would eat it up and then enjoy the small cookie. I truly was amazed by those who turned their noses up at the cup of fruit.
And then I was saddened as we closed the day, and I realized that I just watched one child decline the fruit, gobble up the cookie, eat fries and chicken nuggets for lunch (mom was there and purchased that for her child), and then have a generous slice of a Valentine’s cake that was brought in by another mom. So from 9:30-1:30, this student’s body and mind were “equipped to work” with
- a cookie
- french fries
- chicken nuggets
- cake and frosting
I know that if I ate those things in the course of 4 hours, I would feel sluggish and sick. And I know that this is a very standard and normal diet for a large percentage of American children. Next month, when it is Anna’s turn to bring in snack, I will go in armed with only fresh and nutritious food and a creative plan to get as close to 100% of the class eating these “foreign” foods as possible!

National Almond Day – February 16th
Saturday is National Almond Day. This pointed nut deserves its own day since it serves up a nutritional punch! Here are some of its benefits:
-
High in monounsaturated fats to help promote heart health
-
High in fiber – According to MayoClinic.com, dietary fiber not only keeps your digestive system running smoothly but also helps lower cholesterol and stabilizes blood sugar
-
High in protein – Along with their significant amount of fiber, the protein in almonds helps control hunger
-
High in manganese, copper and riboflavin to help in energy production
Since my hummus is made with crushed almonds or almond butter, you are getting these benefits as well as many others from the remaining natural ingredients that I use to make a sweet treat healthy.

Ballet is My Favorite- Barre None!
Last night, I traded in some of my birthday and Christmas money for a class card at Space Coast Ballet so I could take adult ballet classes. Monday nights at 6:30, you can join the beginner’s class to learn the basics of ballet. My plan is to take a few of these classes to refine my physical abilities and to re-familiarize myself with ballet “lingo”. Then I am wanting to leap into the daytime adult class with the regulars, and hope that I can keep up with those ladies! If you follow my blog regularly, you know I am a runner. I run about 3-4 times a week. However, just to put running and ballet into perspective for me:
Running- I love, but Ballet- ♥ I LOVE ♥
