Beef Brisket and Tuna Casserole

This week's menu has consisted of Beef Brisket and Tuna Casserole (both recipes are pinned to my Appetite for Victory Pinterest board).

Talk about eating well and not feeling deprived!

Breakfast is always three eggs fried in olive oil and real bacon bits topped with a tablespoon of Kerrygold butter. Coffee, always... Bulletproof Coffee on occasion.

Lunch this week has been a bit different:  Monday I went to BWW; I had pulled pork sliders, sauce on the side and removed the bun and a side of potatoes. Tuesday I went to a local deli: I had a club sandwich without the bread and a side salad. Wednesday I went to the local bowling alley: I had a burger without the bun topped with feta cheese (I L O V E feta) and baked fries. Thursday I went to a local grocer. I enjoyed their home-made pot roast with a double side of their home-made green beans. Today, I dined on the Tuna Casserole.

Dinners have been a combination of the tuna casserole, beef brisket, bunless cheeseburgers, and Boars Head skinless hot dogs.

All in all, I feel satisfied with very little hunger pains.

Guilt Free Pumpkin Spice Coffee

It's Fall and the flavor everyone craves is pumpkin spice; but, who wants all the carbs and calories associated with it?

Several years ago I came up with my own guilt free version and it's so easy!

Brew your favorite cup of coffee (mine? Starbucks Anniversary Blend) and steep a bag of Twinings' Chai Pumpkin Spice tea into it. The longer you allow it to steep, the strong the flavor of pumpkin spice. Add some heavy whipping cream then sit back and enjoy.

It gluten and sugar free, all the wonderful flavor and non of the guilt!
