Easter weekend travel went smoothly. My worst day of eating was Saturday, I just ate way too much and felt physically bad by the time I went to bed. Too many Terra chips and Mexican food. Friday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday have all been successful days. We even made a point to exercise in our hotel pool.
I made a special carrot cake for Easter using evaporated cane juice and agave nector for sweeteners. As well as natural whole wheat white flour and lots of crushed pineapples. It was delicious. Aside from the not-too-sweet icing, I couldn’t tell a difference between my cake and a sugar filled carrot cake.
I also brought asparagus and a salad to dinner. I think asparagus takes some time to get used to, but it’s a delicious and over looked vegetable. I’ve found that vegetables that I thought I didn’t like were ones that were just cooked poorly. The first time I had asparagus was in my college cafeteria, on the blue plate special. Never judge a vegetable that is on the blue plate special. Chances are they are from a can and have been cooked to slime.
Friday on our way to West Virginia we stopped at the Wal-Marts to get the oil changed and tires rotated. The only restaurant in walking distance was the Texas Roadhouse. We shared a roll and some peanuts. I had a grilled chicken salad for lunch.
I used the fork in the dressing method instead of pouring it all over the salad. I ended up only using about half of this container of dressing. I’m not gonna lie, I love this kind of salad with ranch dressing. Not the healthiest thing in the world, but way better than a hamburger and fries from one of these places.
That evening we had dinner with my parents as Taste of Asia.
There they are! I had one crab ragoon and half of an egg roll.
For dinner I shared maki rolls (california, spicy tuna and avacado) with josh. We each had a piece of salmon sushi.
My fortune:
Saturday morning I had breakfast at Cracker Barrel with my mom.
I had the one egg, one sausage breakfast.
For lunch I had Terra chips and dinner with Jasmine and Josh at the Mexican restaurant where I proceeded to eat way too much food!
Sunday morning I had breakfast at Suzie’s with Jasmine. A huge sausage and egg biscuit with unsweet tea.
Lunch/dinner was Easter dinner with ham, mashed potatoes, deviled eggs, asparagus, green beans, salad and carrot cake.
Monday morning we had breakfast at the Vietnamese place in South Charleston. My favorite meal ever.
My cute husband:
Made a stop at the local coffee shop for un-sweet tea (me) and coffee (josh).
Once we made it home we were both starving, so we headed out for our final restaurant meal in a long time.
10 tortilla chips and we shared the chicken fajita dinner.

Just found your blog over the week and am enjoying your posts.
I think it’s a great idea -like you said- to freeze the muffins individually! they look delicious by the way!
