Boo!! ;)

Scared?  Should be! This recipe is terrifying addictive, alarmingly simple and hair-raising good!! :)

Ingredients

  • 4 tbsp of popcorn kernels
  • 2 tbsp caramel almond spread
  • 2 tbsp dark chocolate chips
  • 1 oz of chopped cocoa roast dark chocolate almonds (optional)

Directions

  • Place popcorn kernels inside a brown paper lunch bag.
  • Fold the top of the bag over and place the bag in the microwave.
  • Microwave on high for 2-3 minutes, or until there are about 5 seconds between pops.
  • Lay popcorn on baking sheet and if you plan to add chopped almonds to your popcorn, toss them in with the popcorn at this point.
  • Melt dark chocolate chips in microwave, checking at 20 second intervals and stirring each time.
  • Once the chocolate is melted, add caramel almond spread to bowl and stir together.
  • Drizzle chocolate caramel almond sauce over popcorn.
  • Place popcorn in the fridge and allow sauce to harden.

Breakfast was an egg scramble with Julian’s Bakery Cinnamon Raisin Bread.  Each one of those slices have a whopping 16 grams of protein! Wow, right?  Instead of drinking my coffee hot, I decided to have it cold using cooled coffee, ice cubes, unsweetened almond milk, stevia and a tablespoon of vanilla protein powder. Protein overload, I was full for hours!
I wasn’t really craving anything special for lunch yesterday so I put together a few things.  Hard boiled eggs, cucumber with jalapeno greek yogurt and cottage cheese that I mixed with pumpkin puree, stevia and pumpkin pie spice.  The pumpkin pie cottage cheese was my favorite part of lunch and I’m not even a huge fan of cottage cheese! I am trying to learn to love it, though. ;)

Dinner was my favorite meal of the day! Maybe it was because it consisted of sweet potato fries? :) Along with those tasty fries I had a chicken burger salad that was equally as delicious.

How do you eat your fries?  I like to add Sriracha to my ketchup. Any way to get some extra heat in my meals, work best for me! :)

Question: What’s your favorite candy?  Mine would be dark chocolate with nuts! :)

Happy Halloween!

    Boy, that popcorn looks soooo good. I love popcorn to begin with, but adding all the other goodies really looks like a fun treat. I’ve actually never seen that caramel nut butter before–I’ll have to keep my eye out for it. Happy Halloween!
