Comfort Breakfast & “Use it Up” Supper Salad

Hello oatmeal….it’s been a while…oh how I’ve missed thee…

It’s getting that time of year again.  You know, the kind where it’s absolutely beautiful outside, but there’s a crispness coming back in the air in the early mornings and when the sun goes down.  And what better for breakfast than oatmeal!!!  I heart oatmeal:

Today’s mix:

• 1/3c oats, 1/2c unsweetened vanilla almond breeze,



• 1/2c water
• 1 small banana
• 1/2 tbsp flax, 1/2 tbsp ground sprouted chia
• pinch of salt, dashes of cinnamon, splash of vanilla
• Toppings: 1 tbsp Chocolate PB2, sprinkle of unsweetened coconut, 1/2 tbsp mini dark chocolate chips, 1 tbsp toasted sliced almonds, 1 tbsp cashew-almond butter on the spoon

DANG!!!!

This kept me full for hours, so lunch was a cosmic cookie and a handful of mixed nuts.  I was running around the house trying to get our things together for our trip, so I didn’t photograph them…sorry!

Supper was “use whatever produce I have on hand” kind of night because hubby and I leave for vacation to Old Orchard Beach tomorrow for a week. 

I grilled up zucchini slices, red, yellow, orange pepper, red onion & white onion  all seasoned with Epicure garlic potato topper, S&P & spritzed with EVOO:

And I made a salad consisting of organic veggies: mesclin mix, baby spinach, arugula, cherry tomatoes, feta stuffed jalapeno & feta, drizzled the works with honey, fresh squeezed lemon & Kraft parmesan pesto dressing:

Then I thought that the grilled veggies would be a star ingredient in the salad so I tossed them together:

and a grilled pork souvlaki…yummmmmmm….

We had our dinner out on the patio and a certain “someone” wasn’t far away giving us her best “don’t I get some” face:

  Damn she knows how to work it!  Hubs totally slipped her a fry!

Well bloggies, Hubs and I are off to Old Orchard Beach for the week! Yayyyy!!  But fear not, there’s Wi Fi and I’ll be a bloggin’ ';-)
