A Productive Afternoon

This afternoon I decided I was going to get a lot of fridge stuff organized. Cody eats a lot of raw veggies for snacks at work and they all needed to be cut up. Elijah is just finally starting to more regularly allow me to feed him purees with a spoon – and the number of purees I had frozen in the freezer were dwindling. I am also trying to quit my sweets and snacking habit, and to help ease me into it, I make a paleo-friendly chocolate snack, which was also on short supply.

So after church and after lunch I took advantage of having my husband home and my brother-in-law visiting, got them to watch and occupy Elijah, and I got busy in the kitchen.

I started with my chocolate snacks. Recipe can be found here. I make them using a mini muffin tin and a small pampered chef cookie scoop. Makes the perfect three-bite chocolate snack. It’s made with real ingredients and no refined sugar so I feel better about having one or two of these throughout the day. Makes sense, right?

Well we’re back from our two-week stay at my parents place in Ontario, and while the little monkey and I are happy to be back in our own space, I think we both agree (and Daddy might agree sometimes too!) that our own space is just too far away from the Feddema family. We’ll start working on rectifying that problem ASAP…

Yesterday was spent unpacking suitcases, getting groceries and getting organized after travelling. Today I got back on track with my workout, completing two workouts instead of just one. Going on vacation put me about 10 days behind, so I am going to do my best to double up on the workouts and catch up this week.
