Busy, Busy

December 17, 2009

Today has been such a busy day. I spent the morning working on my book, then headed to NuVal for a few hours, then had a quick interview about coffee for a women’s magazine, and then I had a conference call with Open Sky. Busy, busy! I’m happy to be home, lounging in my sweats now.

Breakfast

I didn’t snap a photo of breakfast this morning. I thought about it, but I was moving right along with my writing, so I skipped it and got back to work. I ate the same ol’ oats + banana + Barney Butter combo.

Here’s a photo from last December that pretty much sums up breakfast today.

Lunch

I munched on lunch at my desk today. I had a container of Oikos with a package of Yogi Granola Crisps mixed in.

Loved the Granola Crisps! Delish!

When I got home, I snacked on a pear before taking Murphy for a walk. He patiently waited while I munched away.

Dinner

My lunch was pretty small today, so I dug into dinner early. I had leftovers of the Easy Greek Casserole that I made on Tuesday night. (I’m pretty sure I’ll end up eating a snack later tonight.)

It was so good reheated! Much better than expected. I ended up going back for seconds. ;-)

If you’re curious how this recipe scores on the NuVal scale, be sure to check out my recent post on Trading Up Downtown.

Twas the Night Before Fitness

Oh no! That stinks about the Jeep! But new cars are so much fun! My husband’s Jeep has over 275,000 miles on it…and the mechanics said it’s in perfect condition. I don’t think we’ll be getting a new car anytime soon :(

It’s funny to see you and Mal reaction about the jeep and the new car. LOL

Whitney December 17, 2009 at 8:33 pm

Did you like the granola crisps? I am skeptical of them. I can’t wait to make your greek casserole. I am greek and I love greek flavors!

Reply

Ameena December 17, 2009 at 8:38 pm

The Yogi crisps look delicious!

Thank you for all your hard work on the 12 (24? haha) Days of Giveaways – it’s been fun!

I don’t think we’re ever gonna get a new car. My husband is good with cars so we’ll probably always have old ones. I’m all for no car payment though. :)

I had to laugh when I saw your blog post. I am having Choibani Greek Yogurt and Yogi cereal (blueberry) for breakfast today. Love the new Yogi cereal!
