Speedy Gonzales

I’m taken aback a little each morning when I get up and make my way to the shower only to realize that it’s still dark out. WTF!! When did that happen? I’m so not ready for the shorter days. 100_6215

  • 2/3 cup water
  • 1/3 cup Quaker oats
  • cinnamon
  • dried cherries
  • almond butter
  • hemp seeds

At least my oats are a consistent part of the day! :D

Time at work went like the speed of light today! Hence the post title. I was super busy and before I knew it, it was home time. Gotta love those kinds of days. I broke about 11:30 to down half a Clif Mojo Bar; 100_6216

Love me some mountain mix! I took care of the other half later in the afternoon. I did go to the gym today, but only for a fast paced walk on the treadmill. The darn cold is being quite persistent and I didn’t want to push my luck. I popped the incline to 4.5% and motored along.

Lunch was a salad of sorts today. I just tossed a few things into a bowl and called it a day! Rice, cherry tomatoes, feta and fig balsamic dressing. C’est tout! 100_6217

It was actually pretty decent!

I got dinner going a little earlier tonight because DD started her dance class tonight and had to be there for 6pm. This will continue on Monday’s until the end of May. I can’t believe this is her 7th year of dance! WOW!

I burnt grilled chicken legs on the BBQ along with some tomatoes and zucchini. The kids were having a bit of a brawl and the bird caught fire while I was playing referee! I did manage to scrape most of the char off! :/ 100_6218

I got sneaky and did a real close up tonight! That stuff on the ‘maters is some Parm cheese. I really enjoyed the tomatoes off the grill. They ended up with a nice smoky flavour to them. I dug into a piece of strawberry/rhubarb/peach pie for dessert…..literally! 100_6219

The bugger fell apart on me while in transit to my plate. I whined about it for a bit and when I downloaded my picture’s, I found an intact piece there! 100_6220

Must be my hub’s. :D Broken or not, this was one stellar piece of pie!

I cruised around Winner while DD was off to class and found a cute black sweater, a fall bowl (could NOT resist!) and this here tea; 100_6222

I’m sipping on it while I type this out and it is SO good! I’ve never seen this brand before. There was a chamomile one as well that I think I might go back for. I think the # of bowls I have may match the # of tea flavours I have. They each have their own space in the kitchen!! Those are 2 things I can’t seem to resist while out and about. Different nut butters are catching up rather quickly. Ooops! :D What do you have trouble passing up while out shopping?

Bye for now!!

  3. Mmmm, Mountain Mix! That rice bowl sounds incredible! You made me laugh when you said the bird caught on fire ;)

    You know what's strange - the official "fall back" date is November 1st. Doesn't that seem late?!

  10. I'm with you on the tea...I've got a shelf in my pantry devoted to it. I LOVE mint tea, so I will definitely be picking up that brand if I see it! :)

  12. Right now, I have little choice but to pass up everything while I'm out shopping. My poor bank account is slowly whittling away.

    I could so use a piece of that pie - just check out those giant pieces of rhubarb. Yum!
