Sunday night, already??! I’m not ready for another week of work. Not ready at all. So let’s go back to the beginning of this day and not think about the impending Monday morning…
Breakfast
The oatmeal: ½ cup oats, ½ cup soy milk, ½ cup water, pinch of salt, 2 tbs. pumpkin, 1 tbs. chia seeds, ½ packet of stevia
The toppings: sprinkle of cinnamon, pumpkin molasses cookie, dollop of whip cream
Lunch
Meeker’s aunt brought us some of her “carcass stew” – which is soup made from leftover thanksgiving turkey and lots of vegetables. I had 2 bowls for lunch. Yum, yum.
Snack
My favorite way to eat a pomegranate is standing over the sink, biting into the seeds, juice dripping all over my face/sink/hands
Dinner
A little football-watching-picnic: grapes, smoked gouda cheese, kale chips
To make the kale chips, I rubbed 1 bunch of kale with olive oil, then sprinkled (generously) with salt and garlic powder, and baked in a 450* oven for about 10 minutes. I have been craving potato chips, and this was a nice green substitute that hit the spot.
Now it’s off to bed to rest up before the week. I hope you all have spectacular Mondays!
I am totally not ready to go back to school yet either – it came too soon!!
That is my favorite way to eat poms too!
It’s Monday here, I am at work, I can assure you that it will be fine
If I can do it, you can too!
Take Care.
Are pomegranates a winter/fall item? I have been seeing them everywhereeee!
Right there with ya. WHY?! I want it to be last Thursday again
I am NOT ready at all, either!
i wis we had pumpkin over here, it looks amazing!
blahh i dont want the week to start!!
on the other hand.. i love kale chips! good choice!
Good luck at school today! For some reason my 2 don’t have school today, we are all thankful for an extra day of vacation

Ugh I hear you. I do NOT want to go to school today!! Hope you have a good day back regardless
Hehe, it’s the Great Pomegranate Murder of 2010!!! Have a great day back…I know I sure don’t want to go either!
I can’t believe it’s Monday already
Time flies. Hope your first day back goes well!
it’s halfway through the day and i am still not ready for monday.
anyways, can i tell you how jealous i am you went to new mexico? i have been wanting to go there for FOREVER and love, love, love all the funky scenery there. just imagine, next year it will be turkey day with baby! i guess you can probably say that about anything at this point
love ya,
holly
It’s funny because EVERYTHING we did last week I would announce…”next year we’ll be doing this with a 6 month old!!” – everyone (except Meeker and I) got tired of the announcements after a couple of days…but it’s just CRAZY to think about!!
I didn’t want to come back to work either, but at least we are getting towards the end of our Mondays!
I had the same feeling last night. It hit me like a ton of bricks, “oh whoa. I have to go back to work tomorrow!”
Hope you had a great Monday!
Haha..you eat pomegranates like I eat pomegranates. Being messy is the only way to go about eating it, in my opinion.
The soup sounds awesome!
