Cool Weather Snuggle Time

It?s a chilly one out there today! Wind, rain, grey skies?.feels kinda like November. I enjoyed a variety of cool weather comfort today starting with my oats;

I forgot how much I like rye flakes! This was the end of my TJ?s creamy raw almond butter. The next jar is the crunchy kind. After that, I?m S-O-L on the TJ nut butter front!

I had planned to take today off from the gym because my hubby was off work so he was home with the kids. I figured it would be nice to join them for some lunch. For that reason, I brought a smaller mid morning snack-a-roo; a dark mocha almond Kashi bar;

Check out the cute mini chocolate chips scattered over top! Love this bar.

Seeing as I was home, I got a little creative with my lunch. I spread a LC wedge and some Ted Readers peach & bourbon sauce over a flatout wrap and lined up some grilled zucchini inside. That got toasted up in a dry pan;

There was also a bowl of plain NF Chobani, strawberry banana jam and blueberries that joined the lunch party;

And a winning lunch all together!

I really enjoyed the plain Chobani, but I?d LOVE to get my hands on some of there new pineapple flavour! I suppose I could add my own pineapple? Note to self?. **hmmmm**

DD made herself a sub and begged me to photograph it for you all to see. She loaded up her bun with deli chicken, cheese, mayo, lettuce and tomato. There were even some cherry tomatoes on the side!

She only ended up being able to finish half the bun! Hehe!

I brought some fruit back to work to snack on later in the day. There was a half a cubed cantaloupe and the rest of the grapes;

I chowed down on this by 3:30! I found it interesting that I felt hungrier this afternoon NOT going to the gym than when I do go. I would?ve assumed that working out would rev up my appetite, but apparently not. Anybody else find this happens to them?

That fruit was about the only summery thing I ate today. By the time I got home I just wanted to throw on my most comfy pants, a big T-shirt and sit down to some soul food! The fam had pizza?no thanks, so I made myself an omelette with a 1/2 cup of egg beaters stuffed with sautéed broccoli, mushrooms, a handful of baby spinach and feta. On the side I had a toasted English muffin and some Archer Farms peach/mango salsa for dipping;

Eggs have to be my favourite go to meal. This did not disappoint! And the perfect comfort food end? A blueberry muffin, heated and smeared with a wee bit o? buttah!

**sigh**

As I type I?m enjoying a coconut chai tea with a little cinnamon honey mixed in. Tonight is definitely going to be a snuggle under a blanket on the couch with my book kind of night. Wish we had a fireplace! Tomorrow I have plans with DD to go to the mall and buy some back to school clothes. Can?t believe that they start back on Tuesday already! What is your fondest back to school memory?? I remember always being SO excited to find out who my teacher would be for the year and which kids would be in my class!

Bye for now!!
