YUM in my TUM!

although I post a lot of sweet treats on here i am the first to admit i don't indulge in them often.
However I have found some (sweet) Treats of my own...


1) Persimmon: A delicious and Filling fruit; it has approx 117 calories per fruit and tastes like a thick melon/apple/citrus/custard i am the worst at describing but that's how it tastes to me, i will for sure be 
enjoying these much more often as i feel they have a real dessert taste to me and I have a large sweet tooth.

2)Yves Veggie Ground round: I love this to make vegetarian tacos, chili and pasta dishes
it tastes better than the real thing and the nutritional facts blow real ground beef to the moon
3) Nutritional Yeast: Is a product used mostly by raw vegans and vegetarians, it is a great item to make a cheezie taste with out the antibiotics. Tonight i mixed two tablespoons with 1/2 c. almond milk and a little cornstarch to make a creamy delicious pasta sauce yum! 60 cal per heaping tablespoon
4) Quinoa: last but not least, although i have had this in my pantry for quite some time i have not experimented  with it alot until now, i love it in egg whites, salads or as a side dish i am sure i have a lot more experimenting to do with 117 calories per 1/2 c.
