Happy Sunday! Unlike most Sundays, I’m actually okay with tomorrow being Monday because it’s spring break! I do have work all week like normal, but I don’t have class and that’s pretty awesome!!
Breakfast:
I made an egg sandwich with two eggs and whole wheat bread for breakfast. I’ve been waking up not-so-hungry in the morning lately, but I knew I was going to yoga today so I thought I should eat something a little more substantial this morning. I’ve also not been drinking too much coffee lately, so this morning I just stuck with water!
Lunch:
For lunch I heated up leftover whole wheat noodles and added some butter and parmesan cheese. Along with the pasta, I had a spinach & strawberry salad with balsamic vinaigrette. I love how simple spinach & strawberry salads are, but I was missing the cranberries! I looked all over but they were no where to be found in the pantry. I also usually love feta on top, but again, didn’t have them. Oh well!
I tried to make the 2:30 yoga class, but ended up running late so I just went to one an hour later. I don’t normally go to that class but it was a lot more stretching than I expected. I’m excited for tomorrow when I can go to a power yoga class!!
Dinner:
I haven’t cooked chicken in I don’t even know how long. I grilled up a chicken breast with garlic powder, salt & pepper and topped it with barbecue sauce. I also sauteed some butternut squash in brown butter, cinnamon, salt and smoked paprika. Another food I haven’t had in a long time! I love cooking butternut squash with brown sugar & cinnamon for a sweet meal, but this is my favorite savory way to cook it.
I had a couple homemade oatmeal toffee cookies for dessert, though I’m sure I’ll have another before I go to sleep! These are so good and a little different than traditional oatmeal cookies. These are much softer and less chewy than usual.
And now…Shout Out Sunday!!

Tomorrow it’s back to the real world with an early morning start! I’m off to make some oatmeal to take to work tomorrow morning. I’m not a fan of cold overnight oats, but I love cooking oatmeal as usual, then I stick it in the fridge & heat it up again in the morning. Easy, quick breakfast in the morning!
