Weekend Things Part 2

We loved our breakfast parfaits on Friday so much, so on Saturday morning we threw together some that are even more fun!

 

 

We started with a layer of homemade granola, which we had made the day before.  We then did a layer of plain yogurt mixed with chia seeds.  Next was banana and pomegranate arils, followed by quinoa (which was cooked in coconut milk/water the day before, with a 1/4 tsp salt), then more yogurt, more granola, more fruit, and a garnish of cacao nibs, bee pollen, and toasted coconut.

These were seriously aaaa-mazing!  We were just winging it, and they ended up having a perfect texture and incredible flavour combination.  I think we're going to be hooked on breakfast parfaits for a while.

Our lunch wasn't as healthy.  We made five-cheese, two-mushroom grilled cheese sandwiches.  We used sourdough bread, mushrooms fried with herbs, and a mixture of old cheddar, Emmental Swiss, grana padano, montery jack, and havarti cheeses.

Ooooooh yeah!  Fried mushrooms are so good on grilled cheese.

Dinner on Saturday was the easiest thing ever.  You just throw a few raw things into a slow cooker, and in no time you have honey-mustard chicken to serve over rice.  This was even better the next day.  You can find the recipe here.

When is the last time you had a grilled cheese?  Have you ever put mushrooms or other veggies on your grilled cheese?

Hey peeps! It is almost Friday!!!!!!!!!! Today stared out great because the hubby woke me up and told me he had made waffles :-0

I had 1/2 a whole wheat waffle with almond butter spread on it, a sliced banana, and a teensy tiny drizzle of syrup:

Lunch was left over tofu and bean chili from the other day (I will spare you the picture, because it looks down-right-disgusting in the pic. It tasted good though). I also had these guys:

I know I have been having this combo a lot lately - but you should see the enormous bag of pears that we bought. And the giant bag of babybel cheese. Delish.

After a busy day at work, I coached a v-ball game, and then went to the lab for a couple hours. I was starving by the time I got home, so supper had to be something quick and easy. I had a grilled cheese sandwich:

That I dipped in ketchup of course. Do you dip your grilled cheese in ketchup? If not, you must try it ... it is the only way my dears ... the only way.

I also had a small bowl of tomato soup, because duh ... they go together:

I sprinkle a couple little pieces of cheese into my soup - it makes it better.

This dinner just didn't cut it for me today. I was still hungry after eating it, and needed something else. I whipped up a quick smoothie containing:

- 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond breeze
- some blueberries
- 1 scoop chia seeds
- 1 berry apple sauce cup
- 1 pack of amazing grass (berry flavoured) powder

After dinner I made Halloween treat bags for the kids in my class, and now I have to figure out how I am going to dress up for work tomorrow ...

What are your Halloween plans? Do you dress up at work? What are you giving the trick or treaters?
