toast

You’re going to be shocked, but I had something different for breakfast this morning. No oats, no cereal, not yogurt and granola….

BUT, toast with Artisana raw organic walnut butter and homemade orange marmalade, an apple (x2), and some TJ’s Simply the Best Trail Mix.

The marmalade wasn’t just any marmalade, but a homemade jar that one of Isaac’s co-workers gave him as a gift this year. It’s the best orange marmalade I’ve ever had. Perfectly sweet with chunks of fresh orange and orange peel. So delicious!

And look what we found, Nature’s Pride Bread. Gotta represent.

After breakfast and a trip to the gym I packed up my things. And, the presents for my family.

I made a spinach salad with green pepper, red onion, broccoli, grapefruit, and warm tofu with Napa Valley blackberry, pear balsamic vinegar as dressing for the road.

Delicious food, made fast!

Isaac and I went to visit my uncle, who is in the ICU unit of hospital and not doing well. It was quite a sad afternoon, but I am happy that I was able to see him and to be there for my Dad and cousin. We’re staying with my Dad tonight and then visiting family (making the rounds) all day tomorrow.

Tell your loved ones that you love them today!

Not the beverage- the movie (but more on that in a moment). Last night’s dinner was quick, easy, and delish. Butternut Squash Fries and baked tofu that marinated for a little over 2 days in soy sauce and rice vinegar. Nothing fancy, but oh so tasty.

After dinner we watched MILK and it was awesome. Who knew about Harvie Milk before the movie? I know that I hadn’t! I really can’t believe that I had never heard mention of him in any of my history courses.

It’s a very passionate and interesting movie and Sean Penn totally deserved the Oscar. While watching the movie I had a little snack of pumped up captain crunch aka PB Puffins, kashi go lean, and original almond milk.

This morning I did the half and half thing with oatmeal and oat bran, 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (I love this stuff), 1/2 cup h20, 1/2 of a frozen banana, and some ground flax and shredded coconut on top.

Today at the gym I kept thinking about what I wanted for dinner (does anyone else do this?) and all I kept thinking of was breakfast foods. Which led to me fixing up this little plate when I got home:
