Icecream Playdate

     
CSN Stores contacted me again to do a product review. Last time I did a giveaway so this time I think I'll just do a review. I haven't decided yet on what to do though. Fancy new soap dispensers for our bathroom vanity, an icecream maker? Oh I dunno. Stay tuned for more CSN Stores stuff though!

Anyways,

Dinner last night was Chinese. I had made dinner but was really feeling Chinese food. So we put dinner in the fridge for tonight and got take out. Do y'all ever do that?

I just had a couple steamed dumplings. I think I had 3 dumplings and some white rice.


I saved belly room for some new
fro-yo! It was REALLY good and honestly tasted like the real deal Ben & Jerry's. It has 100 less calories but it's still pretty high up there. I made sure I measured out 1/2 cup.

When I bought that icecream I saw they have a new maple flavor of regular icecream. I had to resist. I love maple!

Breakfast this morning was farmer's market inspired. Well I just used an igredient I got at the farmer's market yesterday.

Local eggs.


I did one fried egg on a sandwich thin with reduced fat cheddar.


It was delicious!


We had a playdate today for lunch so our playdate host made homemade mac-n-cheese with cauliflower and fruit salad.

I had 2 helpings of mac-n-cheese... YUM! I forgot to ask her the recipe but I will and I'll post it later! It was so good and I believe it was made on the lighter side.

She also made homemade icecream.

It was made with fat free half and half, skim milk, and sugar. Also amazing! I swirled in some peanut butter and a spoonful of crushed reeses cups.


My friend reads food blogs and is quite the healthy recipe expert. She really needs to write her own food blog... hint hint...

So I think we are going back to the pool this afternoon.

Did y'all know tomorrow is FRIDAY?!

Cauliflower in mac and cheese? Now I'm intrigued!

I am addicted to maple-flavoured anything. I am not discriminating at all.

That cauliflower mac and cheese looks awesome!! And good for you for feeding your baby a nutritious egg!! :) My aunt swears it strengthens the amniotic sac, which prevents your water from breaking too early. All of your eats look so great!! :)

Nothing is more comforting than a good bowl of mac and cheese :) And there are quite a few nights when I make dinner and something else sounds better. We've even made our own pizza because that sounded better to me after I cooked the first dinner!

Speaking of maple I FINALLY tried the maple stoneyfield flavor you used to rave about, and you were SO right!! I was in HEAVEN eating it!!

We get our eggs from one of the teachers at my kids school who has a booth at the market. He harvests them the night before and you sure can tell the difference!!!
