Needing a Break from My Break


By Iowa Girl Eats (Visit website)



Good morning everyone!!


It’s another beautiful day here in Central Iowa – seriously, where is this weather coming from?? It’s supposed to be sunny and 64 today…I can deal with that. 8) Is it nice where you are?


After a sweaty morning Mom walk, I translated one of my favorite snacks – apple slices and almond butter – into breakfast, and made Apple & Almond Butter Oatmeal!


1 


In the mix:



3/4 Braeburn apple (peeled, chopped & nuked for 90 sec.)
1/2 cup old fashioned oats
1 cup water
dash of vanilla & cinnamon
scoop of almond butter

Not the prettiest bowl on the block, but super thick, hearty and tasty. I sprinkled the top with a little pumpkin pie spice. The nutmeg in it was reeeally good! :)

Lunch is leftover Mexican - yes!

We’ve got 3/4 of a Bean Burrito and 1/2 of a Cheese Enchilada. Both doused in red sauce and 100% delicious. I think stuff like this tastes even better the second day.

I also packed some baby carrots for freshness.

Time to head to work…although I feel like I just left! Sometimes after a weekend like mine, you need a break from your break. Know what I mean?!


Oh, check out this interview with my favorite trainer – Jillian! I thought it was a good read. What do you think about her stance on organic food?
