No, this isn't coyote poop. These are the Peanut Butter Balls listed below from the Bodybuilding.com website. They were okay and they are definitely filling. I don't think I would've made them though, if I didn't already have all the ingredients on hand. Kind of a waste of natural peanut butter and honey in my opinion. Money doesn't grow on trees in these parts...
This week went pretty well with my goal to eat clean. I messed up once, because I bought some sweets for visitors and caved, but otherwise, it was a success. What I've learned though, is that making an extensive post about what I eat every day is just too time consuming for me. Consequently, I'll just menu plan once a week and post what I'm eating then. After reading a bunch of nutrition related food blogs, I've decided that I'm not going to follow the tenets of eating clean exactly. My main focus is to not eat refined flour and really limit my sugar intake. I will mostly be using whole wheat flour, nut flours, and honey, maple syrup, and agave nectar as sweeteners to accomplish this. I will not be drinking milk, (rice and almond milk will by my replacement,) but I will allow myself to eat Greek Yogurt. I think these goals are more realistic than becoming Tosca Reno overnight.
Here's my menu plan for the week:
BREAKFAST
Oatmeal
Cream of Wheat
Kashi Go Lean Crunch (I bought this stuff last week and it was awesome.)
(May add fruit, honey, and rice milk to all over these)
SNACKS
Protein Shake- Six Star Professional Strength Whey Protein Elite Series "Triple Chocolate"
Sliced Banana, Cottage Cheese, Nutmeg, Honey
Apples with Natural Peanut Butter
Fruit Smoothie with Rice Milk and Scoop of Whey Protein
Peanut Butter Balls
Protein Packed Pudding
(I'm going to see how the pudding is with rice milk, not skim milk.)
LUNCH
Leftover Spaghetti Bake
(The Spaghetti Bake wasn't bad but I have it coming out of my ears!)
Salad
Taco Wraps (From Dr. Gott's No Flour, No Sugar Cookbook)
DINNER
Baked Potato Extreme
Chicken Mushroom-Spinach Quesadillas
Chicken, Mixed Veggies, Brown Rice
Turkey Tacos from "Lite Lion House Recipes"
Leftovers
Saturday: Armenian Skewered Meat Kabobs
Cooking with Jackson: I'm going to try to cook or bake something with Jackson once a week. This week we're going to make Williams-Sonoma Pretzels.

Hey Laura How much weight have you lost? I am eating clean, sense the discover of the Ulcers. Absolutely no sweets, only a little sugar, if it comes in something, but never do I add any sugar and never honey. Good Luck with eating clean. I just got a recipe for Hot Cereal that makes up about 5lbs, then you put it away in an air tight conTAINER, THEN COOK WHAT YOU WANT. I could send it if you'd like and then you could try it. Larry just had it and loves it~
