We’re Live and it’s Friiiiiiday Niigggght!!!

Happy Friday to everyone! I have been beat tired all week and I look forward to hitting the sack tonight and “sleeping in” to the hour of around 8:30. I find that waking up on my own at around 8:30 on a Saturday, brewing a pot of coffee and sipping it while I blog and browse makes me feel so rested and relaxed. It’s the new age version of drinking coffee and reading the newspaper I guess!

This morning for Breakfast I shocked myself again and opted out of oatmeal. Mostly because of a lack of time factor. Instead I had a fantastic bowl of vanilla Liberte No Fat Pro biotic yogurt topped with Blue Menu granola, pom seeds and blueberries. I had a half of a banana left from the oatmeal I made the other day, so I cut it in half lengthwise and sandwiched some real almond butter in the middle and since I wanted to boost some more protein into the mix, I ate my yogurt with some almond butter on my spoon. Mmmmm I heart almond butter! I miss it! I’ve been using PB2 and Chocolate PB2 lately instead to save on calories, but every now and then the real stuff is required! I had a cup of joe, as per usual in a new mug :-):

I have to say though that even though this breakfast was delicious, I felt my tummy rumbling at 10:00 easy. Oatmeal keeps me going pretty steady and even if I feel a little rumble before lunch I can either snack or not and I won’t feel ravenous at lunchtime if I didn’t have a Snack. But today I WAS so I had some Kashi honey sesame crackers with some chocolate PB2 on top:

I had the leftover “beef and broccoli” for Lunch today and it was pretty substantial. It was also pretty delicious! Although maybe difficult to tell, this is 95% veggies:

And as I have said many times, Friday night tends to be “pizza” night in our house. I have to say on a Friday night after a long work week, I usually want nothing more. So while hubby ordered delivery, for Supper I gave the Amy’s pizza I had in the freezer a try. It was the roasted vegetable one which shitake mushrooms, sweet onoins and roasted red pepper and it had no cheese.

I didn’t know what to expect, but I LOVED it! Even without cheese! The sweet onions made it so yummy. I did sprinkle some fresh parm reggiano on top and I had it with a toss salad with balsamic vinaigrette. It was all delicious and filling:

Not pictured here is about 4 small garlic fingers I had from hubby’s small sized order. I just can’t not have them!
