Where Did the Sun Go?

Today I woke up to a beautiful sunny day, then I walked outside and “brrr” it was cold, and unfortunately the sun didn’t stick around long and by 9 it was look more like winter then like the sunny spring days we’ve been having. I’m thisclose to packing up my things and heading south.
At work today I realized that I have training for the next 4 work days, meaning with Friday off the next time I’ll be sitting at my desk will be Wednesday. Today was crazy busy trying to get everything done so that I won’t be bothered during training. I’m so looking forward to my first Friday off. I have moved past the point of panic and have decided to just relax and enjoy the long weekends. Obviously if I need the money I’ll pick something up but I have a feeling I’ll be okay for a while.
I still have a lot of blog reading and commenting to do so let’s get into today’s eats.
For breakfast this morning I had overnight oats. I was going to attempt to eat it cold as I’ve seen some bloggers do. Totally not my cup of tea, the picture is from before I heated it up but after a couple bites I marched my behind to the microwave and nuked it.
It doesn’t even look good does it?
For lunch today I revisited a meal I really enjoyed a few weeks ago, a pb and apple sandwich.
I can’t believe it took me 24 years to try this sandwich but it’s definitely one of my favorites.
While hurrying to get my work done I snacked on some grapes around 3:30.
They are totally on their last leg.
After work I came home and did all the dishes in the sink while contemplating what I wanted for dinner. I had no clue what-so-ever, I think mentally I’m so ready to be eating meat again that nothing sounds good unless it’s got chicken in it. I still hadn’t figured it out a while later but decided to have some tacos using MorningStar veggie crumbles.
While heating up the crumbles I also added from frozen corn kernels and then mixed in the taco seasoning. I had it on a ww wrap with less then an ounce of cheese, and some romaine lettuce. I loved the crunch the corn added to the taco. I plan on adding corn more often.
Well like I said I still have some catching up to do with my Google reader, so I will “see” you all tomorrow evening.

I find that if I add fresh fruit, the oats taste much better!

Mm, your lunch looks SO good! I love, love, love date or carrot/raisin bread with peanut butter and banana but I also love apples and peanut butter so I must try that combo on a sandwhich!

I’m glad you’re looking forward to Fridays off! It sounds fabulous to me, even though it’s not really your choice 🙂 and like you said, you can always pick something else up if you need to.
apple + pb is so good, but I’ve never put it on a sandwich either!

Blech, yeah, definitely heat up the overnight oats!! Since I don’t use instant oats anymore and have no time in the am, I always make mine before bed then add a mashed banana and microwave = perfection!

Hi- I’ve seen your comments on a ton of the blogs I enjoy, and I’m happy that I finally got around to checking out your blog. FUN!!
It did remind me, however, that I left my little baggie of grapes (also on their last leg…) in the fridge. 😦 No grapes for me this afternoon. Boo!

I have been talking a/b this all week! I mean there is a reason they have seasonal-depression disorder. The lack of sun really wears on you! Just keep telling yourself EVENTUALLY it will feel like spring…even if it’s summer:P I haven’t had a pb/apple sammie in too long! Makes me feel like a kid again.

glad you are looking forward to your long weekends- hope the weather improves for you to enjoy them!
apple + PB = heaven 🙂
I am planning to try raw/soaked oats next week some time…little apprehensive and likely to nuke them last minute, lol.

yummmm, love the apple and pb sandwich!
with overnight oats, i MUCH prefer to do them in yogurt instead of milk — huuuuge texture difference. milk is just too watery. but it’s also hard to get pumped about cold breakfasts when it’s not quite warm out yet. it actually snowed for about 5 minutes this morning. i almost cried!
so glad you’re looking forward to the long weekends coming your way. might as well live it up!

Mmm, the PB and Apple sandwich looks absolutely delicious!
I like to soak my overnight oats and then add some greek yogurt and a banana in the morning, delish!!

I am also not a fan of the overnight oats (hence the new love for steel cut oats).
I love your dinner. I am going to have to make a wrap soon. Yum!

Yeah…I think I’m never going to get into the overnight oats thing. I like it hot 😉
I wanted to let you know I added you to my blogroll. Hope that’s ok!
