N 'n D Breakfast Success

N 'n D Breakfast Cookie

(Nutritious 'n Delicious...N is D doesn't sound as cool! haha)

*1/2 cup oats

* 1/2 large banana mashed

* 1 heaping Tablespoon PB

*1 Tablespoon of milk

*4-5 chopped/diced strawberries

* 1 Tablespoon sliced Almonds

*Some people add protein powder, but I just don't like the taste of it!

Mash it all together into a thick cookie dough like consistency (don't add any more milk!). Then spread onto a plate, cover and wait for morning (the hardest part!).

I topped mine with a dollop of the filling from the cake that I made my mom for mother's day! YUM!

After breakfast (and a long History lecture), I went job hunting....blaaah! Not going well, but I'm holding my head high! :D Actually, I got one application and I'm just about through filling it out! This one seems like it might actually go through!

Eventually, I came home and was starvin' marvin' so I whipped up a SUPER QUICK lunch!

• Leftover Mac n Cheese
• A touch of Pacific Foods Butternut Squash Soup to revive the Mac
• One Morningstar Farms Veggie Burger crumbled within

It was so delicious and the soup really kicked it up a notch! Afterwards, Alexa and I went shopping and planned on going to a Body Pump class at the gym, but got done shopping around 4 and the class was not until 6. PLUS we were really tired and ended up doing about 15 minutes on the elliptical and went home! At least we tried! ;)

When I got home, I munched on a homemade Vegan Whole Wheat Cookie! MMM!

An hour or so later and my tummy was grumbling. I know I was a bit lacking on the veggies today, but I knew exactly what I wanted and isn't there an argument out there that you need to eat intuitively! ;) So that's what I did! I made an old time FAVORITE!

• It all starts with a Whole Wheat English Muffin toasted under the broiler
• Top with a bit of spaghetti sauce, tomato slices and cheese
• Broil again to melt cheese
• And to make this dish perfecto, add some chopped (raw or steamed) broccoli on top! YUM! (I didn't have any....)

Then I felt adventurous:

I heeded advice from some of the commenters on my last post and took another stab at sweet potato fries.......EPIC FAIL......NOT! lol Let me explain..........

I cooked the slices on an aluminum foil lined baking sheet sprayed with PAM @ 425* for 15 minutes, flipped and after 6 minutes.....I checked on them......and they loooked like this:

EEEK!

I got so frustrated and decided to throw them on a plate and eat what I could...

Turns out (though they LOOKED burned) they tasted perfect! YAY! There was about 2 or 3 skinny fries that truly got burned, but other than that, they were great! :D

I see a 100 calorie pack of popcorn in my future and possibly a SmartOnes ice cream dessert!

Hey, it's game night! WOOOT!
