Hello! Wow the days in September just go buy so quickly I hardly have time to make a blog post. These days I find myself writing something over the course of a day or some posts over the period of 2-3 days. We all have 24 hours, but wow the day passes so quickly. Big disappointment of the week was my 1/2 marathon was canceled due to thunderstorms. This was a huge disappointment for me as I have been training for months. I'm going to try to run it on Saturday, but we'll see. However, on to what I ate yesterday.
Breakfast: Ezekiel Cereal with berries
In general I like a warm breakfast, however during the summer months I found there were days that I just wanted some cereal. Yesterday I topped the cereal with the last of the local berries (sad), a scoop of Smucker's all natural peanut butter, hemp and flax seeds and almond milk. I really love this combination, and it keeps me full until lunch time.
Lunch: Veggie curry on cauliflower rice.
I've made this veggie curry from Cookie and Kate before. It just so happened that last weekend I was looking through my fridge to see what to have for lunch and I had every ingredient. Even the coconut milk. What I made on Sunday lasted for 3 lunches. Yippee!
Dinner: Cranberry beans, sausage and rice.
I cooked the beans and sausage using my Instant Pot. I bought local cranberry beans and the end of the winter last year and finally found a use for them. They really need to cook for at least 30 minutes, if not 40. I did not do that. I made some rice for us in the oven and at the same time roasted some brussel sprouts. I also happened to have some leftover Zinfandel from the night before. What a cozy dinner.
I actually was quite full after this meal so I didn't have dessert. I know this is a very rare thing.
I hope you've had a good week or two creating memories and delicious meals in your kitchen.
Bon Appétit!
And as always with love from the Midwest,
Beth
