I cracked 3 walnuts and put the pieces on the soft, warm orange flesh. I topped it with 1/8 cup Smucker's Breakfast Syrup sugar free (12.5 calories). It was delicious, very filling, and satisfied my desire for something sweet.

Sounds like a great way to get lots of nutrients! Especially vitamin A and potassium. Add in some fiber, some essential fats and voila, a nutritious treat. Can't get better than a sweet, satisfying treat that's good for you too!

When I was growing up, we'd save any leftover food. But almost every meal there was at least one thing that there was just a "dibby-dab" left. Mom would eat it or talk one of us into eating it so she didn't have to store it. Throwing it out was unthinkable.
I continued to focus on not wasting food for many, many years. It was just recently that I realized I should be focused on what goes into my mouth, not so much on what goes in the trash.
Sometimes no big waste means a big waist.

That's something I've always struggled with, too. Now, if it's a non-meat item, I save it for my "girls", a box of earthworms that give it back to me as compost and compost tea. Meat items go into a large container in the freezer, later to be made as soup. I've also had to learn that as well as I try to plan, there may be leftovers that shouldn't go inside of me. My body is not designed to be a landfill. Good blog, Marsha. Mary Report Inappropriate Comment |

Oh my goodness, this is a tough one for me! Hate wasting food, but boy, do I want a Waist! On Thanksgiving, my neighbor made me a plate of food, and luckily I didn't like the way she prepared the stuffing, usually my favorite food for this holiday meal. So...along with leftover potato salad, I had to put it into the trash. Telling myself, Mouth or trash, what's the difference, if it doesn't belong in my belly! that helps a bit. thanks for the reminder!
