Size Does Matter
I like to use small utensils because I feel the big spoons and forks are too large for my mouth. Same goes for dishes – normally I don’t use our large plates and bowls when I make myself a meal, that way I keep my portions in control and feel as though there isn’t empty space on the plate that needs to be filled. This doesn’t mean that I don’t occasionally go back for seconds – it happens.
But today for lunch I used a large plate and pretty much filled it to the brim with delicious things: half of a whole wheat pita and carrots to dip in hummus, sauteed squash and onions, baby spinach, chick-peas, avocado, cherry tomatoes, and half of a mozzarella cheese stick. On the side I had half of a container of yogurt with granola.

Stonyfield lowfat Vanilla yogurt with Udi’s Granola.
I used the Udi’s Kids granola with my yogurt, I like it because it has freeze dried bananas and strawberries that kind of remind me of the marshmallows in Lucky Charms <– did anyone else always save the mallows for last when eating Lucky Charms?
There will be a full review posted soon under the product review section.
That lunch looks amazing!! I love having a large mixture of healthy foods instead of a large portion of something less healthy!

I like your big plate of goods. Looks yummy! I like big plates and small utensils too. I can’t handle a tablespoon… ever.

Heck yes I saved the marshmallows for last! That was the only way to eat them
In fact, I did it all the way through freshman year of college, when I lived off of cereal in the dorms. Sigh…
Thanks for the Udi’s review! And a big plate of good food always leaves me so satisfied!

I always go for the small plates/small utensils too. Except when I’m in the mood for a GIANT salad. Then I crack out the BIG bowl.
And I think I’m one of the only people who actually DIDN’T like those darn Lucky Charms marshmallows. I always thought they tasted kinda gross.

I always eat ice cream from a small cup or mug and it helps tremendously. Yes, of course I saved he marshmallows for last!
