Nature’s Path Organic Granola Bar Giveaway – Don’t forget to enter!

Another reason I do not blog about all of my meals (a reminder on why I am doing that this week) – I am fully aware that the following, in its plastic to-go container, looks gross. No one wants to see unsightly food, regardless of how delicious it is. In fact, I believe you could put this in the most beautiful bowl ever and I feel it would still be unattractive.

I made this last night and stuck it in the fridge overnight, thus making, I believe what is called “Overnight Oats.”

• 1 Container of Yoplait Greek Yogurt
• 1/2 C Oats
• 1/2 C Water
• 1/2 Mashed Banana
• 1 Big spoonful of Trader Joe’s Roasted Flaxseed Almond Butter
• 1 Handful of Raisins
• Cinnamon

I usually like to use non-Greek Yogurt for this because (1) non-Greek Yogurt is cheaper, but it’s thinner so I don’t like it as much. When it sits overnight with the oats it thickens right up.

A note on the Yoplait Greek Yogurt. I’ve read some not so great things about it, but I liked it. It definitely was not as tart or creamy as some other brands, but I thought it was thicker in a different, more solid, way.

And my coffee with skim milk. Most going unfinished.

What do you eat that is delicious, but unsightly?

After the gym I was able to come home and cook dinner before going to yoga at 6:15. Last night I started by roasting a head of cauliflower with curry powder and coriander.  Tonight I completed the cooking process creating a Cauliflower Chickpea & Quinoa dinner.

• I roasted chickpeas (and had a handful in the process)

• Cooked quinoa
• Added some curry powder, cumin, coriander and a shake of salt.
• Added 1 T of olive oil
• Added frozen spinach
• Added some cooked onions
• Added some raisins.

Mine is on the right, Mark’s is on the left and includes hummus.

I also had two Super Charge Me Cookies I made the other day.

The key to delicious Super Charge Me Cookies is nut butter with salt. These were made with no salt added peanut butter and were not as delicious.

And a Vitamin Water.

Mark also says I need to show this Life Saver I had.

The rest of Mark’s day…

He came home while I was at yoga and had a grilled cheese with Colby cheese.

While I was finishing up the cooking he had a half of a Power Bar.

And he added Tortilla Chips and wine to his dinner.

And that’s it for Day 1!
