What a great dinner…. Brixx salad – mixed greens, goat cheese, pistachios….so good. Spicy shrimp pizza – with roasted red peppers, goat cheese, and fresh basil on whole wheat…delish. Times 2 slices. I’m so ready for Saturday…looking forward to sleeping in a bit tomorrow morning. Have a wonderful weekend!

April 21st, 2010 · 8 Comments · Dinner

Tuesday night’s dinner was thanks to our weekly meal plan. I don’t do it every week, but when I actually take time to plan and write out our meals, it is amazing how much easier dinnertime is. Sunday at lunch, Anthony and I took about 5 minutes and planned out our dinners for the week… [...]

Breakfast was Starbucks oats + coffee. Lunch was a salad from the hospital salad bar, enjoyed outside in the sun. Red shoes- made me [...]

Spaghetti and meatballs

March 13th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Dinner

This was one of the best dinners I’ve had in a long time…Anthony’s step-mom Peggy’s homemade spaghetti and meatballs + salad and garlic bread. I almost finished the whole plate. So delicious. I’m probably about a 9 though on my hunger rating chart of 1-10. Oh well, tomorrow’s a new day. It was so worth it. I had [...]

A Walk in the (Cold, Wet) Park

I got such a great night’s sleep last night. I felt so exhausted from our busy week that I got into bed at 8:30…really unusual for me. But I ended up sleeping from 10:00 until almost 8:00 this morning. It was awesome. Anthony and I had to attend a meeting at church this morning, Safe [...]

Best Breakfast Ever

March 8th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Breakfast, Dinner, Lunch, Recipe link

Sunday started with one of my favorite breakfasts ever. Kath’s Whipped Banana Oats topped with dark chocolate chips, blackberries, and 2 kinds of almond butter. Deelish. I follow Kath’s recipe exactly, except I don’t add the chia seeds. It turns out perfectly every time. After church, we went to lunch at the Smoky Mountain Brewery. [...]
