salad bars at supermarkets are still closed but one can find some decent pre-mixed salad bowls. Mix of endive, white cabbage, carrots, radicchio and red bell pepper according to the label, pimped it with mixed olives and red onion.

Ok, @MarvelGirl25, making these were NOT as easy as I thought they would be!!!

First, I more like painted the chocolate on vs dipped (way to messy...ended up eating and licking all the delicious drips, though lol) Also ended up holding a strawberry in each hand over and over for like 5 mins so it would dry enough to put in wax paper without the coating sliding off. And my cheap toothpicks kept breaking!!! Multiply that by 30 strawberries and that equals what felt like forever!!! I wonder what I was doing wrong...arg.

Lastly, all the cool luster dust colours were out of stock at my local store so I only picked up Pearl and Bronze, which doesn’t nearly come out as nice (can barely tell I put any on, honestly!!!)

Anyway, I am forbidding the family from eating them at the moment because I need the hard evidence of my blood, sweat and tears to exist a little longer.

I may try this again another day. Maybe.

Now that's exactly the reason why I would never attempt this, lol.

I can clearly remember doing Peanut Butter Protein balls with dark chocolate coating. Roll the balls, put in fridge, melt chocolate, dip one side, put in fridge again, melt chocolate again, dip again, put in fridge again. *aaaargh*

Your blood, sweat and tears duly noted! They still look scrumptious, and I can see the pearlized accents. I certainly think you deserve an A+ for such heroic enthusiastic efforts. The texture, color and variety awesomely delish. And, you sparkle even if the strawberries don't. ;]

Ah yes, if you paint the chocolate on it wont look as smooth vs dipping them. And after I dip them I place them immediately on the wax paper even wet. At first I thought the same as you, that the chocolate would come off on the back, but it doesn't.

But I agree with everything @Sophie7713 said! These look absolutely delicious and I love the nut topping you used! These would go quick in my house! Maybe next time I make them I can make you a tiny demo vid of how I dip them? :) Amazing job regardless!!!

dinner tonight. Wedge salad. pizza cracker. Partial pork chop. Sautéd yellow squash. Wedge salad leftovers for lunch tomorrow. Often make more salad than I can eat in a meal since they can be time consuming to prepare. ;]

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
