Mal, Murphy, and I slept until almost 9 o’clock this morning! I think that’s a record for us. I guess we all needed the sleep.
After rolling out of bed, we immediately headed to the kitchen. The three of us woke up starving! Well, being a pug, Murphy is always starving. 
Breakfast
While Mal made us a couple of iced coffees (and did the dishes), I cooked us some eggs. I used the microwave method to make an egg white patty, which I mixed with leftover Easy Greek Casserole. It was sort of like a Greek omelette.
On the side, I had a piece of whole wheat toast with Olivio smeared on top and an iced coffee.
12 Days of Giveaways
Wow. That was a lot of giveaways, huh? I’m not going to lie, as much as I enjoyed giving you guys the opportunity to win some goodies, I am so happy that the 12 Days of Giveaways is over! It totally took over my blog… and my life!
I plan to do the 12 Days of Giveaways again next year, but I’ll stick to just 12 days. Maybe I’ll do it like Ellen’s 12 Days of Giveaways and have multiple prizes each day.
Without further ado, here are your winners!

Good morning! 
I am so psyched that it’s Friday! You have no idea! I seriously need a break from working… all… of… the… time! I’m in total burn out mode. Unfortunately, I am multiple chapters behind in writing, so most of my weekend will be spent in front of my laptop, but there will be plenty of fun stuff thrown into the mix– including a Beer 101 course with my hubby tonight, a holiday party on Saturday night, and a video shoot on Sunday. So, the weekend won’t be all work and no play.
Breakfast
Yummy breakfast this morning! My oats were an everything-but-the creation with all sort of goodies mixed in.
In the mix:
- 1/2 cup oats
- 1/3 cup canned pumpkin
- 1 tbsp ground flaxseed meal
- 2 tbsp liquid egg whites*
- Pom arils
- Cinnamon
- 2 scoops of peanut butter
* If you have questions about the addition of egg whites, check out my FAQs. I used to add egg whites to my oats all the time back in the day, but I’ve since fallen out of the habit. I might have to bring it back!
I also had some iced coffee with a side of pug tail.
The holiday card positioned next to my iced coffee is from my friends, Beth and Caleb… who got ENGAGED last night!!!!!!!!! There’s no other reason for the card in my photo except to say that! Congrats, Bethy!
Cookie Friday
I’m really looking forward to my Cookie Friday treat today! The other day, Amie of the Healthy Apple sent me a holiday card along with a few goodies– including a 100% vegan Cranberry Chocolate Chunk cookie for Cookie Friday, of course! Thank you, Amie!
I’m bringing this baby to work with me to enjoy later this afternoon. I only bring enough snacks (and treats) for the day because I will eat them all otherwise. I used to pack enough snacks for the whole week and leave them in my desk, but they’d all be gone by Wednesday. Now, I just bring one day’s worth at a time, which makes it impossible to mindlessly snack.

I’m doing another 20 minutes of writing, hitting the gym, and taking the rest of the day off. Yay!
TGIF!
