Choc + Cantaloupe = Yuck

Just wanted to add to my earlier posting:
I don't have any exciting pix for you all since it was mostly repeats of what I've already posted earlier. For dinner, I finished off my cream of zucchini soup with oven-baked onions and toasted walnuts. I will be at a seminar all day tomorrow where they feed us lunch, so I wanted to use it up before I go out of town for the weekend!

I also made a GM with an entire cantaloupe. This tasted decent - but I thought that since chocolate makes everything better, I could improve the flavor by throwing in a T. of cocoa powder and a half packet of Truvia. Hmmm..... not my favorite food combo!!! I drank half, froze half hoping that it will taste better in slushie form tomorrow, and then spent the rest of the night nibbling on crap (the walnut brittle, meant for my dad's birthday, is still in "blob" form - not quite brittle but it tastes good and I'm afraid I've devoured about half of the recipe!)

I'm still not quite back on the clean-eating bandwagon after Vegas I'm afraid - but tomorrow is a new day :) Good night everyone!

  3. I've had those nights when my dinner just didn't do it for me, and I end up munching on everything! grr. But I agree with PB Swirl- I would've tried the chocholate too!

    Happy Friday
