Beer Butt Chicken

I started off my Saturday with a bit of a sleep in. Not too long, though! Don’t want to be screwing with my sleep patterns now that I’m back to work!I got my breakfast idea this morning from the new Clean Eating magazine.

This here is 2 Weetabix biscuits with a 1/2 cup of USAB, half a thinly sliced banana, blueberries and the little packet of chopped peanuts that I got with my sundae last night.

The CE version didn’t have the berries or peanuts in theirs, but I’m crazy like that, ya know! :D

DD and I made a trip to the local farmers market where I loaded up of beautiful veggies that I do not have growing in my garden;

Swiss chard, kale and candy cane beets is what you see in the above photo. I also bought juicy Ontario peaches and local corn on the cob. Keep on reading to see some of these eats at dinner time!

Lunch was awesome. I toasted up some multi grain bread, spread on some broc/guac dip and hit it with a slice of pepper jack cheese and a 1/4 cup egg whites. On the side was more dip with pepper strips and carrot sticks;

Then I dove into this Rachel’s vanilla chai yogurt;

YUM-O! This yogurt was definitely runnier than what I’m used to, but the taste of it made up for that. Needless to say, I was one stuffed mama after this meal!

We wandered around the mall for a bit this aft because DS needed a new mouth guard for hockey camp next week and you can’t just go to one store when at the mall! Old Navy was having a sale on tanks…$2/ea. Too bad I don’t wear and XL or an XXL. Apparently many people in my city needed cheap tanks this weekend!

By 3:30 I was feeling hungry again so I snacked on some cocoa roasted almonds to tie me over until dinner.

Din din was a beer butt chicken!

We liked it so much last weekend that we bought the $10 contraption to make our own. I also threw the candy cane beets and 2 sweet potatoes on the BBQ (wrapped in foil) AND boiled up corn on the cob. What a feast! Here’s my plate o’ goodness!

I told my hubby that everything on my plate aside from the chicken was sweet like candy. Oh, goodness! Here’s a zoom in on the succulent beets;

I ate another ear of corn, too. It was crisp and fresh. I’ll be back to that vendor next weekend for sure. Needless to say, I’ve got quite the food belly happening right now so no sweet end yet. I may whip up some banana soft serve later on to enjoy out on the deck.

My parents are coming over soon which is why this post is up a little sooner than usual. Is anybody doing anything fun tonight?

Bye for now!!
