It’s been a hard week.

 

On Monday, a friend and coworker of mine died unexpectedly. He was one of those people everyone loved to be around; kind, generous, jovial, and fun. He was a good father and nurse, and was the kind of guy who was always ready to help anytime he was needed. For me, he was a cheerleader of sorts: No matter what I was doing or even thinking about doing, he was right there telling me I was doing a good job, or that I could do it when I was in doubt. He followed every blog, liked all my Facebook posts, and was right there encouraging me to keep growing and reaching. When I planned this Tea Talk for Sunday, he committed to attending it right away. I called him my big brother, and I miss him.

 

This Tea Talk will be bittersweet for me, because he won’t be there, but I know he’s still cheering me on. So while this post will be short (because I have to get back to preparing to make it excellent!), I wanted to let you in on some of the yummies we will be enjoying on Sunday. But I’m not going to show you all the finished product! I’ll show the “after” pictures next week. For those of you who can make it on Sunday, maybe this will whet your appetite! If you can’t come, I’m sorry you’re going to miss it, but you’ll get a sneak peak inside of the food for the Talk and maybe you can make the next one!

 

These are going to be some savory sundried tomato deviled eggs. All boiled up and ready to peel!

 

I’m making this into an asian broccoli slaw. Fresh and crunchy!

 

These will lose their heads and be stuffed with a savory salmon salad. Yum!

 

These are pumpkin spice muffins in honor of fall. No sugar, no flour, moist and delicious!

 

There will be other veggies and dips and of course, tea! Come have some of these yummies and learn about Eating For Weight Loss with me on Sunday! Click here to get your ticket now!
