Week 3 Day 2 About Easter chocolates, and using vegetables to replace pastas

My third week on the diet came just around... Easter! Yes, the celebration of everything chocolate. And I love chocolate. So I looked at the nutritional information on chocolate bunnies, and the creme eggs... and well, guess they were a no go for the fast diet days. Except for one: Cadbury mini eggs! They have 11 calories each. So as long as you can just take out a few (and quickly hide the rest of the pack) then you can have your chocolate fix without busting your fast.

In Canada, they are available only around Easter. So I bought a big supply and store the pack on the very top shelf of my pantry (I need to get the step stool out every time I want some!). But if I remember correctly, they were available year-round when I was living in the USA. So maybe you don't need to have a big supply at home to uselessly put your willpower to the test...
