What's been in my house

Hello!

Just wanted to post a little weekend update on my journey!  I've been challenging myself to be around food I would normally have overindulged in BIG time!  But I made some sweet treats for our neighbors, because I didn't think a veggie tray said "welcome to the neighborhood" as much as lemon blueberry cupcakes do :)

My newest Pintrest recipe! 

I baked all of these and did not get to test any of the batter or icing during the processes.  So I had to wait till my husband got home so someone could test them and let me know if they were good enough to give to other people!  Kinda made me sad that one of our neighbors are out of town so I have to wait a few days to give them away!  Here's another thing that's hanging around our house too:

Girl scout cookies!
Who remembers when they
were called Samoas??!!

It's girl scout cookie season and my husband (and I) love these ones!!!  We had two boxes and now have one left (thanks to my husband's amazing metabolism he can have a whole box in one day haha) So when all these sweets are in the house the one thing I can turn to and put one packet of stevia in and it gets me through anything and has become my new "treat" is:

This is a mint green tea and it's delicious!!!  I haven't been a hot tea person ever really but I can drink this tea everyday (and I do) and enjoy it!  I never knew it would be possible to have sweets in the house and I wouldn't be able to eat it.  But looks like my husband might be able to have his normal snacks in the house if he wants.  I haven't had anything made with sugar in a long time it's almost like the cravings are gone.  The only time I find myself REALLY wanting something is when I can smell it or see it.  I haven't spent time at home dreaming and having cravings of cheats.  Once I get a chance to eat the cravings really don't bother me anymore.  Now I'm off to get my greek yogurt and blueberries on!!! :)

Cheers!
