Quiet Sunday

Holed up in the house today with lots of research to do today. Today was full of lots of mini meals/snacks and maybe a few too many episodes of Buffy...

Breakfast: Eggs over easy with blackberry jam on an English muffin

This was the best luck cooking eggs that I've had in awhile! I tried out my dad's seedless blackberry jam on a toasted English muffin and it did not disappoint. Of course, I had a big cup of French Vanilla coffee to wash it all down. I love taking extra time to make a great breakfast on slow Sunday mornings!

Snack 1: Greek yogurt topped with cheerios and frozen blueberries and

red bean mochi

I found myself hungry a few hours after breakfast so I made a quick yogurt snack topped with some truvia (product plug?). This always satisfies my hunger because of ALL that protein!

I had the other red bean mochi left over from the pack I bought yesterday. This was an attempt to picture the delicious lightly sweet red bean center but turned out a bit blurrier than I intended.

Lunch: Lean Cuisine

Being a processed foods queen I resorted to a Lean Cuisine meal after deciding I was feeling way too lazy to cook. I love these meals mainly because they are pre-portioned and tend to have a great sauce on top. This one was good, despite how it looks.

Snack 2: Egg mug classic

I found this recipe on Hungry Girl and had to try it. It was so simple! All I did was put in 1/3 cup of egg whites and a laughing cow cheese wedge, and then pop it in the microwave. What an easy way to make a high protein snack. I also added some chopped up baby salad greens to the mix!

Dinner?: Double Chocolate Oatmeal

The night was spent mainly doing research sitting in front of the computer so I didn't really have a dinner. I had the idea to drop my extra dark Lindt chocolate square into my oatmeal. It. was. awesome.

In the Mix:

• 1/2 c. of oats
• 1 tsp of unsweetened cocoa powder
• cinnamon
• water
• 1 square of Lindt 85% cacao square

Snack 3: Hummus with tortilla chips

I finished off the night with a Sabra hummus snack pack and some chips. Love this hummus!

It was nice to get to relax today and get some much needed work done. I'm really enjoying taking pictures of everything, though it is sometimes hard to stop myself from eating it beforehand. My main issue with pictures seems to be lighting. Natural light is the best but what's a girl to do when it's 1am? I'll just have to keep playing with it!
