Hi my lovelies!

Hope this week is treating you well!  We’ve had some typical Cleveland weather – 80 degrees yesterday – 40s today. 

I didn’t have time over the weekend to make oats for the week – so I switched things up Monday morning – and had two whole grain waffles!  For some reason this week, I’ve been downing Diet Coke like CRAZY!  I usually drink 2 cans a day, but this week I’m at 3 or 4 (I know it’s a terrible habit – leave me alone)

Diet Coke & edamame for a quick morning snack:I also wasn’t feeling to inspired to pack my lunch Monday morning – so instead I headed home at lunch to hang with Lander and whip something up:Quick sweet potato fries, skinny hot dog, and broccoli with hummus – a nice change from the same ole salad. 

For a snack I polished off my Oikos yogurt – making it a pineapple upside combo!I’m not sure what it is about the combination of pineapple and cherry (maybe it was all the Pineapple Upside Down Cake shots back in college) – but I’m just a sucker for these two things together!

Over the weekend I’d taken a bunch of stuff out of the freezer to eat so we aren’t so “stocked up” – and decided to make some quick, easy salmon for dinner last night.Salmon with:

• honey
• soy sauce
• rice vinegar
• garlic salt
• onion salt
• chili powder
• cayenne pepper

Quinoa (cooked in light chicken broth), with:

• banana peppers
• red onion
• green olives

I always forget how much I love quinoa! When it comes to week night dinners, I love taking the easy route (meaning something can be cooked with dirty-ing practically NO DISHES, and it can be made in 5 minutes).  Quinoa dirties 3 things, and takes about 15 minutes – but it’s totally worth it!

I think it early to bed for me – G’NITE!
