Back in Action

by eatingbirdfood on September 2, 2008

Today, surprisingly enough, I got a photo of EVERY morsel that crossed my lips:

When I couldn’t decide between having eggs or oats this morning I went with savory oats made with water and a pinch of salt, topped with 1 egg, S&P, and chopped fresh basil from my back porch. Again, it didn’t disappoint.

Since I wasn’t quite as full as I usually am from a bowl of oats I had 2 clementines and some grapes as a right after breakfast snack.

I was ready for lunch as soon as the clock was 12:00 so I whipped up a quick salad with tomatoes, cucumbers, broccoli, avocado, blueberries and chick-peas, 1/2 an ear of corn on the cob (does anyone else think it’s funny that corn is called an ear.. or is that just me), and one carrot and peanut butter.

I was craving a snack so I decided on a frozen banana. This is my bag of frozen bananas ready for snacks or smoothies:

Because I have 4 large bags of granola in my house and I am known to do the whole handful of granola as a snack, then go back for another, another, and another.. you get the point. I portioned out a few flavors of the Udi’s granola into snack baggies. Each with 1/4 cup (the regular serving size) and decided to have one of the bags for a snack.

Around 5 I was hungry for dinner, but wanted to bake some tofu so I started to eat some carrots and hummus then had a few crackers and pita chips with hummus. I ate the hummus out of the container, but not all of it.

I baked the tofu that I had marinated in soy sauce and put 2 pieces into a whole wheat pita with garlic hummus, yellow cherry tomatoes, and red onion. I had some of the salad greens from lunch on the side. The tofu pita was so good. I already want to have another tomorrow – it’s a good thing I have leftovers of the tofu.

I may have already mentioned this at some point, but something special is happening tomorrow in my neck of woods and I am waking up early to go. Yippe!

Your pictures are absolutely gorgeous today. I still need to try your egg-in-oatmeal idea, but I never have enough time to fry an egg (that sounds lame, I know, but I am stretched to the minute). Here’s to a perfect Saturday morning – haha.

Frozen bananas make my day. Literally. I don’t think I could go a day without them.

And I love the looks of your savory oats. I seriously need to try those asap.
