Quick, Quick

by Meghann on November 13, 2009

So much for a leisurely Friday at work. A few deadlines sort of ‘snuck up on me’ and now I’m down to the wire to get this stuff done *hopefully* before 4:30. ;)

Besides working my tail off its hasn’t been too interesting on my end.

I had a True Delights Bar for a mid-morning snack.

Breakfast Sweet Tooth

by Meghann on November 13, 2009

Its Friday!

Can you believe a week ago today I was on a plane to San Francisco?!?! I wish I could just keep reliving that weekend experience over and over again.

Derek and I were actually playing around on a few airline sites yesterday and found some very reasonable flights to San Francisco at the end of April. Nothing is officially booked yet, but the idea of going back is very tempting. ;)

This morning I woke up to another gorgeous cool morning. I took advantage by opening up my sliding glass door and practicing Sculpt Yoga on ExerciseTv on demand in the nice cool breeze.

I then whittled away my middle with an impromptu ab routine that consisted of planks, crunches, and boat poses.

After my shower I was more than ready for a hot breakfast to warm up with in my now chilly apartment.

Enter: Hot Apples in a Jar

I took advantage of a near empty Almond Butter Jar and filled it with 1/2 an Apple, Granola and Apple Sauce that I had nuked for a minute.

The results were warm, gooey, and delicious. Yum!

All Gone!

After reading all the hot breakfast suggestions from my post yesterday morning I came to the conclusion that I always crave sweet things in the morning. Occasionally I will have eggs for breakfast, but usually I add something sweet to the eggs like a jam or pumpkin butter or I just save eggs for lunch or dinner.

And even through idea of adding hot milk to a cereal sounds like a good one; the thought of milk on cereal (any form of milk not just cow’s milk) is not appealing to me at all. Just thinking about drinking straight cold or hot milk makes my stomach churn. I can’t even stand coconut water because the taste and texture reminds me too much of milk. Yuck!

So, the conclusion I have come to is if I want a hot breakfast that Hot Apples seems to be the best option for now. I do plan to experiment with other hot breakfast options for now. I like the idea of eating a warm breakfast that will fill and warm me up. Something that I know my favorite cereals, cold oats, and yogurt topped waffles will never do. :)

Do you crave sweet or savory in the morning?
