Honey Mustard

It's embarrassing how long I took to figure this out, but you know what's really tastey, easy to make, AND fat free?  Honey mixed with mustard.

Recently Monica has had it on fish, toast, hamburgers.  They were all 100% Monica-approved.

The recipe?  Half honey and half dijon mustard.

German pretzels? AWESOME with honey mustard
A short post, but I highly recommend trying it!  A nice mix of sweet and savory!

This transatlantic move was made possible by soft pretzels and sorbet

Guten tag!

We live in Germany now!

So sorry for the delay in blog posts, but moving with three kids across an ocean has been quite an undertaking.  I plan to go back to weekly posts in the near future.

I wish that I had taken more pictures of how we survived the move while maintaining an LPLD diet for two little girls that get cranky when they are hungry.  A big part of it has been a big supply of Trader Joe's Caramel Popcorn which is nonfat and delicious.  However, when that gets stale or they want some REAL food, it is certainly convenient that even the smallest villages in Germany have their own bakery (backerei!), and each bakery has not only the fat-loaded pastries that I enjoy when I am stressed, but also fresh baked, soft pretzels!  The whole family loves these and I can rely on them to be super low fat!

Monica has also discovered that she ADORES lemon sorbet from our frequent gelato shop breaks.  I agree that it is delicious!

Praise God that every gelato shop seems to have a few sorbet options!
