Recipe that'll STUFF ya!

Hiya!! Hope you’re enjoying your weekend. I keep wishing it was Memorial Day weekend again…LOVE those 4 day weeks.

For breakfast this morning I ventured out & decided to make Craig something I had been seeing a lot of- Frittatas. I kind of just did my own thing. I know what he likes, so I just went off that. In the frittata went: chopped green peppers, chopped onion, 3 pieces cooked bacon, 3 eggs & Mexican four cheese.
I just mixed everything together, sprinkled the cheese on top & some paprika.
I baked it at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.

mixed up & ready to bake!

baked & ready for C

I also made Courtney’s Hearty Oat Loaf recipe. I only made one change- substituted the oil for applesauce.

the recipe

applesauce works great for when recipes call for oil

when I added the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients

poured into a dish & sprinkled with cinnamon- LOVE cinnamon!

baked.

I also made 2 egg whites with spinach & mushrooms for me to go along with my bread.

My plate- egg whites + 2 small pieces bread with raspberry jelly

another angle

I also enjoyed some iced coffee with 2 splenda.

C's plate. That egg frittata got HUGE!!

I really like the bread recipe. It is really dense & very filling which is EXACTLY what I was looking for. I had asked earlier in the week for some filling breakfast ideas & this is perfect! Courtney had the right idea to put peanut butter on it- I had a small piece with PB too & YUMM!! LOVE it! Thanks Court!

After breakfast we kind of just hung around, watched some tv, feed the ducks, etc. Oh, I went to the grocery store to get what we needed for the week. But I CANNOT find quinoa at the store I’m thinking I’m supposed to look in the rice section?? Right??!  Please let me know if there is another section I should look in.

We were both SUPER full from breakfast & stayed that way. No lunch- too stuffed!

We headed to the gym around 3pm. Today I did one of my new-found favorite workouts- my version of Janetha’s Go-To lower body workout…I think this has become my ‘go-to’ lower body workout as well. It is AWESOME!! Your legs really feel it…and they feel it the next few days too

When we came home from the gym around 4pm we were both still FULL! Believe it or not. YAY for filling recipes

But Craig asked if I could make him a protein shake when we got home so he ‘wouldn’t over indulge at dinner.’ <–cute right?! I got him trained right jk!
Into the smoothie went protein powder, 1 banana & 4 strawberries plus about 1/2 cup- 3/4 cup milk (didn’t measure) I filled up his cup & there was about 6 oz. left, so I had a little glass of it.

my cup of smoothie goodness

Right now we are just hanging out…again. I’ll be making dinner soon- I have a NEW recipe to try- WOOP WOOP!!

I’ll catch ya later!
