I have signed on to a six week eating healthy/exercising thing. My weakness is that whenever I am watching what I eat, I love to torture myself by watching Foodnetwork and then instead of eating bad stuff myself, I vicariously do it through my children. I guess I just have a need for someone to enjoy delicious food.
Case in point, last night I was watching a show called, Sandwich Paradise. This was actually on the Travel Channel (earlier I had watched my favorite Diners, Drive-ins and Dives on FN.) Anyway, after a tour of the best deli's in America, it ended at a peanut butter sandwich shop in California. Right then and there I decided that someone in my family was going to taste-test a fluffernutter sandwich. Since my diet is restricted, it had to be the girls.
If you don't know, a fluffernutter is a peanutbutter and marshmallow fluff sandwich. Supposedly, this is an American classic and some people grew up on them. Personally, I have never had one or really known anyone that has, the very reason I have to try it. Anyway, I put sliced bananas on mine for a little extra flavor and used whole wheat bread. Both Ashley and Paige loved them. In fact, Paige has had two sandwiches already today. She would have more but I won't let her.
I am being strong, I haven't had one yet, but I plan to. (I don't see "marshmallow fluff" on the bad food list!)
I'm proud of you... it's definately been hard for me to eat healthy when there are so many of my favorite not-healthy foods out there, and in my home. Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteYum! Fluffernutter, here I come! I'm doing to opposite of a healthy eating program - I can't stop eating!!!!
ReplyDeleteDave says he's been dreaming of a sandwich he saw on Paula Dean's show. It was a peanut butter-mixed-with-cinnamon/sugar and bananna sandwich, spread with butter and fried like a grilled cheese, then rolled in cinnamon sugar.
