Dinner Pancakes

This post has got to be right down to business because I’ve got me some TV to watch!! :D Just got back from Pilate’s and SYTYCD Canada is on and then The Biggest Loser follows that. I can be such a couch potato!

I took breakfast to work with me today because DS had a 7:30am doctors appointment and I didn’t feel like eating beforehand. Please excuse my orange stained, plastic dollar store bowl! 100_6508

-2/3 cup water
-1/3 cup Quaker oats
-splash of milk
-carob chips, shaved coconut & walnut pieces 100_6505

I did this in the microwave and it was surprisingly good! I’m so used to the stove top method now that I tend to forget how creamy the oats become when nuked.

Work, work, work….blah, blah, blah! ;) Here’s my tea quote of the day; 100_6510

GYM! Yes. More Rach today with a little Christian Slater on the side. For all who may be interested, Hungry Girl will be on the show tomorrow. You bet I let out a little yelp when I saw that!

I should mention that I was on the elliptical today…

Lunch was a simple one. A Stonemill bagel with a shmear of almond butter; 100_6513

These bagels seriously reminded me of croissants. They were flakey and buttery and delicious. I also ate these monster sized grapes; 100_6509

Aren’t they HUGE?! I also grabbed some fruit salad from the work kitchen which looked pretty tasty, but was not. 100_6514

I only ended up eating the grapes and pineapple. I’m not a big fan of fruit when all the flavours blend together. What I ate actually tasted like it’s suppose to. Just before going home I snacked on a piece of apple butter bread. 100_6515

I know that I ate this mostly out of boredom, but at least I stayed of out the office candy bowl and stuck to something wholesome and homemade!

When I got home there was a treat in the mailbox! 100_6516

There was a little pouch of cereal in here that I plan on trying out very soon!

Dinner was a cool one tonight! My hubby grilled sausages for the fam and some Yves veggie burgers for me. While he was at that, I was making some super cool corn cakes. I didn’t make the bean topping, only the ‘cakes. On my plate I had some reheated ambercup squash and a burger on top of a corn cake with some Fage and peach pineapple salsa; 100_6517

I turned this into a burger that I ate with a fork and knife. I left for Pilates pretty much as soon as dinner was over. And now it’s time for me to sign off and get to my TV watching!

Bye for now!!

  7. Love the tea quote!!! So true ha ha. And those corn cakes look so unique, I bet they were tasty too.

    ps--I had a bunch of stained containers too, and I soaked em in hot water with about 3 TBSP baking soda. Leave em sit over night, and they were practically like new in the morning! Sprinkle the baking soda first before the water though :-)
