Happy Canada Day!

6:30am on Thursday.  When I have to be up early, I don't like it, but when I don't have to be up early, I love being up early.  It's a relaxing time of day.  The cat goes outside, I leisurely drink coffee and think of all the great things I could have for breakfast, then just have cereal because I love it.

Laundry is going, garden is waiting.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY CANADA!!

Yesterday's breakfast was Kashi Flax...I know I've said this before, but I can never remember the exact name of this cereal.  It was SO crunchy, it was uncomfortable to eat.

Looks like a Kashi-kind of day.

Cherries!  I still have another day or two worth in the fridge, but they are getting to the point where the need to be eaten.  Oh produce, why can't you last weeks and weeks so you never spoil?

Lunch was a great salad.  Mixed greens, spinach, carrots, fresh peas and leftover beets.  Goat cheese, pecans and balsamic vinegar.  Super.

Something I've been forgetting to post is the food I eat after work.  I ALWAYS have a snack.  Usually a bit of granola bar or trail mix, dried fruit, maybe a handful of cereal, but I always have something.  This week and last, I've been munching on this great fruit and nut mix.  The raisins are huge, the almonds are plenty, it wasn't a cheap bag, but worth the $.

Even when we only have soup for dinner, I know by about noon what we're having.  Today I forgot to plan dinner. ???  Quesadilla's to the rescue!  WW tortillas I found in the freezer, spinach, red pepper, hot peppers, turkey kielbasa my dad left here on the weekend and cheddar.  Pretty good spontaneous dinner.  I'm not a spontaneous cooker at all.

Then, I seriously enjoyed some of this ice cream.  It's like vanilla with a kick...and to top it off I added a hefty scoop of chocolate PB.  The best bowl I've had in a looooooong time.

Again, Happy Canada Day!  Enjoy your day off!
