During yesterday's Common Threads chef demos, there was no time to eat lunch! When I'm hungry, I prefer a savory snack to a sweet one. All "protein" bars are sweet and carb laden. Little Red Dot Kitchen came out with this Asian jerky (Bak Kwa), in pork & turkey, it's a protein packed snack, even has "lite" version. I was so thankful.  It was satisfying and tasty, just what I needed to boost my energy!

Thumbs up for well packaged snack, comes 2 slices in a pack, I can fit it snugly in my handbag! Unlike the western dry, chewy version, when Bak Kwa is slightly heated, it becomes juicy and moist, YUM.

Here's the first of the chef demos post.

Peanut butter topped with Freakin' Flamingo's strawberry daiquiri jam(congrats to Renee opening her online store!) on whole wheat toast. Quarter cup of no sugar almond milk, slurp. Need to have a protein boost before my beach walk.

My insufficient protein intake yesterday on South Beach made me realize that's how most people eat! Because I have low blood levels, carb overload sends me into a spiraling dip. Most things come in a wrap, bun or rice. I was so sleepy & listless all afternoon! It's what I don't enjoy about eating out. You can't control the balance, what they put in your food!

See why food shouldn't be presented with pattern background? Overpowers the food. Well, finishing off Hot & sour soup w/vermicelli, added extra chicken, toufu . Always like fresh salad for fiber, crunch. Unplugged apart from sending this, oops!
