*I've started cleaning the bootcamp class Chris attends. I go twice a week and I have to say that I don't really mind it. It's an hour that I can zone out and listen to a podcast. Plus it's bringing in a little extra money. :)
*I found the best tortillas at Costco. They only have 80 calories, have 12 grams of fiber, and Chris likes them!! :)
*Neither of my kids like almonds or almond butter. However they are so good for you that I've wanted to find a way to sneak them into their food. I made a batch of chocolate muffins yesterday and used 1/3 whole wheat flour, 1/3 ground oats, and 1/3 ground almonds. They loved them! I used my dark chocolate cocoa which adds rich chocolate taste, making me able to lessen the sugar called for.
*Last night we dropped the kids off at my parents and went to dinner. We went to CPK. We had a gift card because otherwise I'm not sure that would be our first choice (we've had blah experiences there). Chris was so-so in his review of his Tai Chicken Pizza. I actually really liked my salad which included red onion, feta, asparagus, pine nuts, and quinoa. Chris has an interesting take on quinoa. In his words, "If brown rice took a dump, you would get quinoa." You can tell he's not a big fan. :)

Those muffins sound healthy, did you grind up the almonds on your food processor? I might have to try that.
I thought your title might be in reference to the tortillas...
I started eating them when I was pregnant with Liv because they didn't cause my blood sugar to spike like the real ones did. J hates them on the basis they call themselves tortillas when, according to him, they're really not. We still eat them though. A word of caution: I tried to bake them tonight to make like a tostada shell (I usually do this with my flour tortillas) and they came out terrible! Worse than cardboard. I couldn't even chew mine.
