I guess I didn’t fully kick my cold because I slept until 10 or 10:30 all weekend long. It was rather glorious!
Saturday’s breakfast was berry warm and comforting! I used 1/4c Bob’s Red Mill GF hot cereal, 1/4c almond milk, 1/2c water, 1/2T chia seeds, cinnamon, maple, 1/4c frozen blueberries, a spoonful of pom arils, and 1/2T almond butter and a crushed honey pecan on top.


I knew I had a busy afternoon / evening yet it took a while to motivate myself to get to the gym. I needed a snack before I got out the door!


I did 65 minutes (6 miles) on the elliptical plus a good 15 minutes of stretches.
I loved the Harry Potter movie. Yes, I went by myself and I laughed, cried, and jumped out of my seat
I’m also that person that brings a piece of fruit to eat as a snack.
Yesterday morning I was not feeling on my A Game yet battled the cold to get some produce at the farmers market.


I cheated on breakfast knowing I really just wanted lunch. I simply had a fried egg on a slice of Udi’s whole grain bread with red pepper spread.

Sometimes a girl just wants french fries x2. And a delicious salad to accompany it O:-)


The winter blues appear to be creeping in and I’m trying my best to fight them off. Cooking seems to help with that.
Taking baby steps towards a dream can be a big deal.

Despite my best intentions I just had to acknowledge that the gym wasn’t gonna happen.
You can’t go wrong with homemade minestrone soup with garlic toast and half a large pear for dinner and a dough ball for dessert!


Did you do any cooking this past weekend? How do you fight off the winter blues?
