Snowy Sunday

Sometime after I posted last night the rain turned into snow and we woke up to a white landscape this morning. Even though I do not like the snow, I must admit that there’s something magical about the first snowfall of the year. I did, however, feel the need to “summer up” my oats so I went with my Pina Colada Oats recipe today. The only thing I changed was nixing the egg whites and adding about a 1/3 cup of pineapple tidbits...



I adored the sweetness the pineapple juice lent to the oats in this recipe. I bet if I’d closed my eyes I would’ve heard the lull of the ocean and felt the sun on my face. Yeah, I know...dream on!

For a snack last night I munched on a coconut cream pie Lara Bar.



While the flavor was really good, the texture was softer than the other ones I've tried. That was a little disappointing, but I wouldn't turn one down over it! :)

Once my hubby and DS got home from hockey, we rock n’rolled out to the farm for our weekly visit. It was much whiter out there! I took some pictures before we left because I think the farm just looks gorgeous with a layer of snow covering everything!





Lunch today was a yummy one! I toasted a WW bagel, spread a Laughing Cow cheese wedge and about 1 Tbsp of fig preserves on it and then topped it with a slice of chicken breast. I paired it with an apple that my MIL gave to me from her trip to the market.



This was a great flavor combination. One of the items on my Christmas list this year is a panini press. This sandwich would have been just that much better if I had one of those handy appliances now! Here's a closer shot of the fig preserves that I used...



I spent the afternoon catching up on my blog reading before we had to leave for hockey again. DS had extra ice time from 3-4pm and was pretty excited about it. He told me that he needs lots of practice so that he can be better than his Dad. Funny kid! This was actually a test for coaches in training so they needed some boys on the ice. There only ended up being 8 kids, 7 of which play on the same rep hockey team. Not only that, they were all at least 1 year older than DS! I was so proud of how he went on the ice not knowing anyone and being the smallest and most inexperienced kid there. I wish I could be half as brave as him! This rink had a Tim Horton’s in it, praise the Gods!



Tim’s already has their Christmas cup out! This here is an extra large pumpkin spice tea. Love this flavor!

You may notice some color in this post. I finally figured out how to change the tool bar so that the cool functions show. Only took me 3 1/2 months! :)

Dinner tonight was a package of Shiritaki noodles with about a 1/2 cup of left over chili from the other night.



This dinner filled me so much that I didn't even bother with a sweet end. I did seed a pomegrante before eating so I may have a yogurt with some of the seeds a bit later on. Tonight I plan to watch the Amazing Race and hit the sack at a decent hour. Hope everyone enjoys the evening!

Bye for now!!
