It’s been a good Monday! The sun was back out and everything that was planned went off without a hitch. I started the day with a bowl of blueberry oats:
- 2/3 cup water
- 1/3 cup Quaker oats
- cinnamon
- blueberries
- hazelnut agave
I’m on 11:30 lunch this week and had to run down to the venue where DD’s dance recital is to pick up the tickets for Friday night. Before heading out I ate a piece of whole grain bread with some peach blackberry jam spread on top.
Lunch was a hefty salad packed with spring mix, baked tofu and roasted carrots and sweet potatoes, all topped with some sweet onion salad dressing.
The dressing is made by Renee’s and tastes exactly like the dressing that I love on my subs at Subway!
Score! I munch on a baggie of carrot sticks over the course of the afternoon.
I had to have DD to her rehearsal by 6pm so I was proactive with dinner in placing a pork shoulder roast in the crock pot this morning on low seasoned with just some salt and pepper. When I got home I shredded the meat, tossed it with hickory BBQ sauce and served it over toasted thins with lettuce and dill pickles. I had more salad, too, but with Japanese Ginger dressing this time!
Dessert was strawberry rhubarb crisp with some Cool Whip free.
Hambone! I’m hopping to be able to post the video I took of her dance. I’ve not been successful with video posting. It seems to go along OK then ends up with an error. Not sure how to get around that in WLW! As we were walking back to the Jeep we witnessed a whole whack of Canadian geese crossing the (busy) road with their babies! 
Cars had to stop to let them by. LOL!
In the next photo I got really close to the babies and Mama was not happy with me. She gave a few good hisses my way! Freaked DD right out.
CUTE! I just snacked on 2 rice cakes with AB & jam that were camera shy. Now I’m sipping on some Read My Lips tea from David’s Tea. YUM!
Bye for now!!
Awwww, those baby geese are sooo adorable!! :)

Great food and photos. Love the family of geese, they are so cute.
ReplyDeleteI should get some rhubarb and make that crisp.
The geese are too cute! Sounds like it was a busy but very productive day (which is always good, especially for a Monday! :) ). Nice find with the dressing, I'll look for that (it's my mom's favorite too!).
ReplyDeleteYour slow cooker dinner looks like it turned out perfect! Gosh- I love the slow cooker. And Josh and I are really loving the bread with blackberry spread on top too! You have some fabulous add in items. I tossed some sunflower seeds in there last time and adjusted the ratio of some of the flours....I think I liked my first version better though :) Recipe in progress! DD looks adorable! Love the outfit.
ReplyDeleteI love the sweet onion dressing at Subway! I always ask for extra in a to-go cup, they must think I like some salad with my dressing lol! I will have to keep an eye out for that!
ReplyDeleteYour oats look amazing!! DD looks absolutely adorable!!

I really like that line of Renees dressing. I just emptied a bottle and added this to my shopping list for this evening!
