Week 2 – Day 5
Posted by Tammi | Filed under photos, week 2
Breakfast
Spinach and dill veggie omelet with Morning Glory Breakfast Bar and a clementine
Lunch
Layered Mexican Bake and HUGE spinach salad (it didn’t seem like that much dressing when I poured it…yowza!)
Dinner
Pork with guacamole and broccoli, mini carrots, green & yellow beans.
Made the Morning Glory Breakfast Bars last evening and they smelled really great while baking. I omitted the pineapple and instead used more yogurt. They taste like a combination between a bran muffin and a carrot cake and are very moist. They are supposed to have 117 calories each but I figure with the pineapple switch they’re more like 100 calories which is a good choice for a snack and they are full of fibre. It was nice to bake something because I love to bake. I’m not so much a cook as I am a baker. With Christmas closing in upon us I have the itch to bake. The only problem with that is I don’t want to eat any of it! Baked goods have no place in my meal plan!
Spent the day hanging out with the boy and cleaning up the house for the party tomorrow. Swept and washed the floors…that counts as exercise right? Well I *did* work up a sweat! I set the GLEE soundtrack to play and worked my butt off around the house. I find cleaning/organizing the house cathartic for some reason. I also feel the same way doing dishes or laundry. Very odd because I’m truly the most undomestic goddess there is. Also…I may or may not have put on some Christmas music while house cleaning. I’m quite pleased that the boy seems to like Christmas music as much as I do. Lately when I’m trying to calm him down I will sing a soft Christmas ballad like Silent Night. Ironic, no?
