Day 31 - It was SO worth it!

Yesterday (Valentine's Day) was amazing! I had an awesome workout after work and came home to make an awesome dinner with my future hubby!

The menu:

• Cauliflower mash (see below for "recipe")
• Salmon fillet (shared)
• Lobster tail (shared)
• Blue crab legs:

But the best part of all was DESSERT! We haven't add ANYTHING non-naturally sweet for 30 days! So as a special treat, we indulged in dark chocolate covered strawberries and bananas!! I'm not sure if they were just perfect or we have just been deprived (probably both), but they were pure HEAVEN! I didn't feel too great this morning but it was totally worth it!

I had strict instructions to bring the leftover strawberries and bananas into work today so we would not continue to eat them. Well that works for Seth, but that did NOT stop me from sneaking a couple this morning before the vultures picked them clean. :) hehe

Gonna need an extra hard workout in the gym tonight to make up for last night...AND tonight since we're going out to eat at Bonefish!! Yum! Feeling spoiled rotten and LOVING IT :)

Oh and my beauties decided to grace me with their presence this morning! Love the purple and yellow Iris!

Cauliflower Mash - awesome alternative to mashed potatoes!
Cut up a head of cauliflower into small pieces and boil in pot for about 6 minutes or until tender. Drain and mash with fork (you may want to use a potato masher or a blender to get a more smooth texture). Add lowfat buttermilk and I Can't Believe It's Not Butter spray until smooth. Grate a couple garlic cloves into the mixture and add salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese on top and enjoy!
