Hey look! Another post this week. Go me 😀
There was a beautiful sunrise this morning while eating breakfast:
The picture is square because I put it on instagram. The day started pretty, but it was cold and drizzly for a lot of the day. Yuck. It for sure feels like fall now. Breakfast was blintzes with blueberries, which I have a couple times a week (sometimes with peaches)
Points for this breakfast with my cafe au lait is 13 points. Kind of “spendy”, but about 450 calories.
I’ve been into egg salad lately, so that is what I had for lunch:
I do the eggs in the Instant Pot. The IP is great for eggs. I just put them on the rack over the water and cook on low pressure for 10 minutes. Perfect every time no matter how many eggs you put in there.
It was so chilly today. Our house is at 63 degrees, so the furnace is going to come on soon. Warm snack to warm me up of a latte! We drink 2% milk, btw.
This is a new mug I got recently at a craft show. I loves me some pottery! I’m banned from getting more bowls since I have a lot, but other things are fair game 😀
Quick dinners are usually on the menu. Tonight John and I cooked our own because I wanted chicken and he doesn’t eat meat.
On WW, chicken breast is 0 points. The peaches are 0, and the fries are 4 points (3 ounces). We keep frozen peach slices in the fridge. Fresh peaches just never seem very good – at least around here – and they go bad fast, so frozen are perfect.
With the cruddy weather there was no biking, but we went for a 1.5 mile walk to get some kind of exercise. Biking season soon will be over! Wahhh.
Evening snacks include the folowing:
Thursday night football snacks! My poor Broncos suck this year. I hope they turn it around, but boy howdy they are bad.
I love handmade pottery as well and recently have started taking classes. I have done some decent bowls and now learning mugs. The main part I can get a decent mug but the handles are a whole ‘nuther animal! UGH! Yours is a nice one! The small square bowl with the nuts is lovely as well. I want to ask about the blintzes you show. Do you make those or are they purchased? Looks wonderful. And luckily we get fabulous Texas peaches most of the summer here so I am spoiled to any other peach. My favorite is to just eat them fresh with the juice running down your arm, but freezing some for the winter is a necessity.
The blintzes are Golden brand. I can find them in the kosher section of our grocery store. They have the cheese ones, blueberry and apple. I get the cheese ones because they have more protein.
Thanks. Never thought to look in a Kosher section. Not sure my store has one.
I loved this post – reminded of old school Lori style post with the eats and and the latte. Our heat comes on if it drops below 65 so it came on yesterday. So cold and rainy here! We’ve actually got some super cold nights coming up and everyone is happy about it since it will kill the EEE mosquitos that are plaguing Connecticut this year.
Our furnace itself was off all together, so it had to be turned on, which we did this morning. There is supposed to be a freeze tonight, so a lot of plants are going to bite the dust. I did bring in my hibiscus pots again for the winter.
Agree with Helen; I loved this post too! I need/want to lose 15+ lb. I regained, so you’re inspiring me.
