I have no explanation for that title. It’s just stuck in my head and I love the Little Mermaid (it’s from the prequel: Ariel’s Beginning). Just that sort of day I guess :)
The other day I was in the mood for cookies but couldn’t decide on what I wanted to make. I ended up throwing many many things together ending up with Whole Wheat, Banana, Almond Butter, Oatmeal, Chocolate Chip cookies. They were good (gone in about 2 days!) but not quite cookie-like enough to share the recipe. Just a pic.
I’ve enjoyed a wide range of breakfast over the past few days. Trying to switch it up a little as well as have fun with the various type of fruit we got this week.
Banana Apple Oats with Almond Butter
Egg in a Basket and Grapefruit
Cocoa Banana Oats topped with Strawberries and Almonds
Spinach and Feta Omelet, Whole Wheat Toast, Banana and Strawberry Fruit Salad, Coffee (!)
And just for kicks, a closer look.
Something about my omelet was just perfect today and I inhaled it. Maybe it was the addition of feta (which I haven’t done in a while) or maybe it’s because I bought organic eggs for the first time. Either way, I think it was gone in a minute flat. hehehe.
Lunches have been pretty soupy again lately. I just love soup! Current favorites:
Lentil
Tomato
Oh and that little pear and tortilla combo I’ve got going on the side there? That is amazing.
TJ’s whole grain tortilla filled with a few slices of pear and 4 Italian Cheese mix. Drool.
So FYI, the weather in New England sucks again. I tried going out for a run the other day when there was no precipitation but it was so cold that my nose was running the whole time and I got a major headache (the cold does that to me for some reason). I only did 2.25 miles and walked a lot. The good news though is that I may be signing up for another 5k! Right now I’m registered for one on May 15th back home but there is 1 near Raf’s grandparent’s house on May 1 that I’m considering. Simmons Nutrition Liaison is also sponsoring an “Almost 5k” on April 30th which I might as well do to but registration isn’t open yet. So that will be 3 in just about 2 weeks time. Go me :)
Heading out to Worcester this afternoon for more thesis research. Yay for working on the weekend LOL.
Questions: Who immediately knew what movie I was quoting in my title? Or who else is just a big fan of The Little Mermaid? Have a different favorite Disney movie?
organic eggs totally make a difference! they're so good:) all your eats look like stuff i'd love to have too, I love your tastes!! In response to your question, I didn't know it was the little mermaid...but I LOVE that movie:)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the little mermaid - but I only saw the original. In fact, I love all Disney movies, my favorite was The Secret of NIHM. So good :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I also love that you eat Eggs in a basket. YAY!
The Little Mermaid is adorable! I've always been a fan of Cinderella :) Love all your foodie pics, those oats look amazing
ReplyDeleteThe Little Mermaid was the first movie I ever owned! I LOVED her and wanted to be her when I was young. I even tried to convince my mom to dye my hair red.
ReplyDeleteI am a huge omelet fan...I eat them (or scrambles) almost every morning. And I agree--feta and organic eggs make them even better!
Thanks so much for catching my egg error today! I meant to write that I'd used flax eggs, but completely forgot! I corrected it, thanks to you!
Oh, and your banana almond butter chocolate chip cookies sound like something I'd love!
I also post song lyrics as post titles when I can't think of anything haha.
ReplyDeleteThat omlette looks awesome! I'm thinking I'm going to have to make one of those for breakfast later this week...
