Opa’s & Optimus Prime

Hello bloggies!  I’ve been taking pictures of everything and haven’t been posting = bad blogger!

But today I did not fail you and here are my eats for the day:

Started off the morning with a cuppa joe with some blend cream, sipped on that while catching up on some emails and blogs, then followed that with an absolutely delicious bowl of oats mid-morning:

  

Today’s oats consisted of:

• 1/3c large flake oats
• 1/2c unsweetened chocolate almond breeze
• 1/2 medium banana
• 3/4c water
• pinch of salt
• splash of vanilla, dash of cinnamon
• Toppings: 1 tbsp Chocolate PB2 (this seriously is the secret to “sweetening” the bowl), sprinkle of unsweetened coconut, a few mini dark chocolate chips, 1 tbsp of almond-cashew butter (the BOMB)

I can’t believe the variety of nut butters there are out there today.  It’s AWESOME!  I’ve recently fell in love with cashew butter, so I thought I’d try almond-cashew butter and of course, it rocks ;-)

Breakfast was really closer to lunch, so when hubby and I set out to run some errands, I snacked on a coconut cream pie Larabar:

  Hubby and I cruised some furniture and appliance stores since we are now in need of a new dryer and I took advantage of the free coffee they had at the Brick:

A few stores later, we were pretty hungry.  We had plans of hitting up a matinee and then supper, but we ended up doing supper and the early show.  We hit up Opa’s where I gladly hit up the bread with herb infused EVOO and a diet coke:

    I and then enjoyed the most amazing salad with a skewer of lamb souvlaki on top:

   

And I scooped up hubby’s tzatziki with my pita chips (he never appreciates what he’s missing out on!)

My only complaint about Opa’s is that it’s kind of overpriced.  My salad was a small salad and it was $10 (the large was $14) and the added skewer which was really 3 pieces of meat was $7.  The meal was fantastic but I wasn’t full.

Sooooo I ended up munching on popcorn and a few pre-movie treats purchased at Bulk Barn which I didn’t get the chance to photograph since it was pretty dark in the Imax theatre!  We saw Transformers which was certainly action packed I’ll say that much.  I think I liked the first one better though.

It feels good to post up my pics!  Pheeeeew!
