Since we're talking about food...

...why not also talk about how it's served?

Check out these fabulous plates I just posted about on my other blog Dabble. What a great way to serve your food home style!

It's all about white tea for me!

I've never been much of a tea drinker, not until I discovered white tea that is. It's great hot, very mild, but it's even better cold.

Many of the cold teas that you can get in convenience stores have super high sugar counts, but Inko's doesn't. It's healthy and refreshing and great when I'm trying to cut back on soda.

I'm not sure how extensively it's available nation-wide / or even internationally. However, you can buy the different flavors on their website.

And the best part is that they've just started selling larger sizes too. Not cheap but definitely worth it! To really stretch your dollar/calories/points, mix a bit of the tea with some spritzer.

Healthier "Cranky Food" Options

So far so good. I've only had one minor slip up in the last few days.

I was super cranky much of the weekend for whatever reason, and I did splurge on ice cream Saturday during the worst of it. It was actually frozen yogurt, but still... Definitely a pattern for me to turn to sweeties and comfort food when I'm in a mood.

However, I balanced that slip up with the fact that last night, I was cranky and super starving, but instead of ordering out as I usually would, I zapped some low sodium minestrone soup in the microwave, added a bit of parmesan and fresh spinach, and really enjoyed my very low point dinner.

I just needed something with zero effort and instant gratification. The soup surprisingly did the trick. I just need to remember that next time!

Then I worked on an art project to help focus my energy in a different way. Hopefully, if it turns out as I hope, it'll soon be featured on my blog Dabble.
