Ahh, nothing like a day off of work, and a short week to look forward to.
I started my morning with a nice sunny run, followed by yoga for runners.
Then refueled with oats in a jar.
I added two egg whites while cooking to pump up the protein.
And coffee while I puzzled.
After a lot of laundry, cleaning up the backyard, and more puzzle time, I made lunch.
The heel of my homemade bread, scooped out, and filled with cottage cheese, spinach, chickpeas and ranch seasoning.
(That’s Meeker’s hand in the back, dutifully working while I chowed down)
Dessert was a hot cocoa baby
I actually managed to pull myself away from the puzzle (which, by the way, is a winter wonderland scene…a lot of white snow pieces) and ran some errands, cleaned the bathrooms, and then made a new recipe for dinner!
Plus a lovely side salad
Now, I’m gearing up for tomorrow. I’m so excited because I’m using my temporary gym pass and going to a 5:30 spin class in the morning! That means I not only have to pack lunch, but breakfast as well…I wonder how I’ll get my coffee…? I’m sure I’ll figure it out.
Until then, there is a new loaf of bread in the bread maker, Jason Mraz
(who I absolutely l-o-v-e) is on TV, and I have spelling tests to grade.
Happy last few hours of the long weekend!
I’m definitely looking at that hot cocoa baby recipe now
Hahaha that little baby looks so cute amidst the puzzle pieces…
Ooh have fun at spin class! Think of me while you spin: I’ll be lazily sleeping
.
I wish I had a short week! Spinning class at 5:30 is pretty intense – good luck with that. I’d have to have an IV of coffee while I was spinning!
5:30am spin just sounds painful!
Are egg whites safe to eat in oatmeal? And is there a technique to adding them? Something creeps me out about doing that, but I’m up for trying something new even still..
Also- have you hopped on the Chia bandwagon? So good!
That bread spread looks delicious!
It’s cool that you call it the heel of the bread, in my mother language, we call it the same
I don’t think i’ve ever seen peanut butter for sale in Portugal or Spain!
HAPPY DAY! bread + jason mraz = love! and those enchiladas! holy yum…they look amazing! and i love puzzles! and i love that i am using all these exclamation points! love youuuuu!
Dinner looks delicious! Glad you’re making good progress on the puzzle and enjoying it
Yum! That dinner looks delish! I have been thinking about buying a bread maker…looks so good!!
I love your stuffed bread. I never get quite that creative with cottage cheese. It looks so good with the spinach.
That cottage cheese + bread situation looks amazing! I love things like that.
glad you got to have a day off to relax! that is a perk of being a teacher
i love the topping on your bread! holy yum!!
Those enchiladas look SO good!
Im totally jealous of your long weekend. We dont get one here!
Your lunch creation sounds crazy good my dear!
And those enchiladas aren’t looking too bad themselves.
