I’ve been wanted to try this for a while now.  Fit Momma and Beachbody coach Amber generously sent me a packet to try out. I have to say, I like it. It is a bit higher in calorie than I’d like, but I was TOTALLY full afterwards and loved the chocolatey greatness of it all. Thanks, Amber!

1 scoop of Chicken a la King

TONS of Salad a la Queen (I just made that up)

1 slice of Heaven Cake

Calories ???

This was Christmas Party #3 of the season so far for me.  Only about 5 more to go.

As usual, the people and food were amazing at this party.  I did skip a few pastry shells and bacon, but irritated everyone behind me in line because I hogged the salad.  I didn't feel too bad, however, because there were leftovers of everything.

The cake was made by a friend who is the Cake Boss of San Antonio.  Whoa.  Triple-layered, orange/cranberry/cream cheese/white chocolate cake.  All those white spirals are white chocolate.  Amazing.  I had to taste it and I'm very glad I did.

Calories?  I went to the party with 480 calories to eat.  I'm pretty sure I went over based on the too-full feeling after the cake.  I could have done a few things differently, however, overall Christmas Party #3 was a success.

Good night!
