Eating healthy takes a twist when cravings come in.

The other day I was trying to turn our family into one that eats more healthy food.  We had signed up for Hello Fresh as a family Christmas present and have been enjoying the food we had selected to come.  So while at the grocery store the second week of January I picked out lots of fruit, veggies and things and brought it home.

Well once I got home I arraigned the fruit into a pretty pattern in our basket on the counter. It sure does look great in our new kitchen. (Oh yeah, we did a full kitchen remodel in our house among other things - but more on that in later posts.)  So back to eating healthy.  After I was done putting the fruit on the counter to look pretty I looked in the fridge.  We had a Hello Fresh meal I could cook or left over taco meat. I also thought about the homemade popovers I had made to take to my parents for Christmas which we left all of the extras there.  I was really craving a popover and honey butter.

I  preceded to take the taco meat out of the fridge and make nachos in the oven.  Then I took out butter to soften to make homemade popovers and honey butter.  Yeah that's right instead of a healthy meal I made nachos and then lots of carbs with popovers and honey butter.  Sounds a lot better that fruits and veggies right? We thought so as well.  It was delicious.

Note - after I ate like either 3 or 4 popovers I told my hubby to never let me make popovers again.  We will see how long I last as I love popovers and honey butter. Oh did you know that honey butter also tastes great on blueberry bagels?

So next time I will work harder at eating preparing healthy meals for my family....most of the time it is soooooo hard to not make yummy things to eat. :-)
