Sweet Potato Salad (Bootleg Version)

At work they make this sweet potato salad. It's so good! I just don't know what's the "dressing" I can't figure it out. I did my own version and it came out good. Not like work w the dressing but I kept all the ingredients the same.

Boil the sweet potato till almost tender. No mush. Chop up some cranberries and walnuts. Thinly chop the green onion. Toss in w drained sweet potato. Drizzle honey w a little bit of brown sugar.

The green onion makes this perfect! Nice and sweet w a little bit of a savory twist. I love it. When they serve it at work again I'm brining some home to Pokey so he can taste it and figure what's the mystery dressing. :)

Jackfruit "beef" Stew

SATURDAY WITH MY PARENTS! Pokey went fishing and I went grocery shopping. I love to hang out with my family. I love them with my entire heart. I called my mom and asked her if she wanted to join me while I picked up a few things from the store. Of course, she said yes. When I get to my parents she says my dad wants tacos from Cristobal. I'm down because they really have great tacos. I got beans and nopales (cactus) Look how cute my parents are. 43 years in February. I love that they show love to each other. We ended up going to HEB and I didn't grab much but I got some acorn squash and some okra. It was a cold Saturday and I know him being on the water plus the wind I know he would appreciate a warm meal when he came home. My mom in law bought us a Ninja Foodi and I have been intimidated by it for almost a year. This is probably the 4th time I have used it. I had one of those meal cheaters, it was beef stew one where you add meat and some veggies. I added ...

21 Day Sugar Detox

Monday after Super Bowl some friends and I started this detox. I was nervous, excited, anxious and scared. I didn't know what to expect. It went well. I are a lot like this. No sugar meant no bread or processed foods. I lost 9lbs. It felt good. It did change my way of thinking about sweets. I don't crave them. I guess that was the point lol. I'm glad it's over but I've been following the diet for the most part.

Gnocchi and Sauce

Let me start by saying I just wanted peppers and onions and wants a taco. Pokey comes in the kitchen and wanted gnocchi. (Gross) I just can't get behind eating a ball of dough. We really debated in the store behind it. I did not want him to buy it. However I let him slide because it was whole wheat and not enriched. Anywho... 1 bell pepper 1 poblano 1 onion 1 case of mushrooms 3 small yellow an orange peppers. When he said he wanted gnocchi I added 3 tomatoes and Italian seasoning and garlic (1tsp) When I turned around to text w my sister in law he added... Champagne and Cavendar's Greek seasoning. He threw in a little balsamic vinegar. I didn't fight him. He knows what he wants. I was no longer getting my tacos "/ Notice the pic above w veggies in a bowl? I kept those on the side while I put the veggies in the pan in the blender then added the remainder veggies back into the pan then simmered everything together. Now I added a little bit of olive oil and tomato ...
