Muffin Dreams

February 10, 2009

I had some strange dreams last night! Unfortunately, now that I am awake, I can’t remember them at all, but I’m pretty sure muffins were involved somehow. I woke up thinking about and craving Heather’s Barney Butter/Almond Butter Chocolate Chip Olive Oil Muffins. Before I even got into the shower, I sunk my teeth into one of those bad boys! I just took a bite, and crumbled the rest on top of my oats. :mrgreen:

In the mix:

  • 1/3 cup dry oats
  • 1/4 cup wheat berries
  • 1/4 cup canned pumpkin
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2/3 of a Hangry Pants muffin, crumbled
  • 1 scoop of Barney Butter
Now don’t those sound like DELICIOUS oats!?! ;-)

Lunch and Snack Preview

Making my lunch last night made my morning totally stress-free. When I don’t make my lunch ahead of time, it’s a mad dash around my kitchen grabbing random items of food. Sometimes a healthy lunch results; sometimes it doesn’t!

Today’s lunch and afternoon snack:

  • Spinach salad with grape tomatoes, snap peas, cornichons (French pickles that Mal has me obsessed with!), and fresh Parmsean sprinkled on top
  • Vanilla-flavored soy yogurt with TJ’s high-fiber “twig cereal
  • A dried fig (an amazing new discovery!)
  • ZBar
  • 2 chocolate kisses

Blogging Bake Sale

A loaf of my Chocolate Pumpkin Loaf is up for auction over at Graduate Meghann’s Blogging Bake Sale. Some of the goodies look incredibly decadent! Meghann is raising money for the the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, so be sure to get your bid on!
