Wedding Rings and Friday Things

Last weekend Brian and I went to get my engagement ring it's 6-month check up inspection. Then we decided to peruse the wedding rings while we were there. Because of the intricate setting of my ring, I am going to have a band custom made...I don't want to cover up any diamonds!!

We also checked out the men's rings and were writing down the ones he liked. Well, one of them was actually being discontinued and this last one was like 50% off. It was too small but not so much that they couldn't size it...plus it was Platinum and had little diamonds in it. It was really unique and we both really liked it, so he went for it!

Picked it up this week :)Cool right? There are little baguette diamonds going down the middle, but they are not a sparkly cut so you almost don't realize they are there!

Ok back to FOOD!

So this may have been my first bite of Okra...I think. Brian made a chicken gumbo in his crock pot the other night and I had some leftovers.
Quite delicious! Maybe I have had okra, but I don't remember it. Who knows, now I like it.

On to some oats...
more fruity oats that is, but this time I brought a different "Spread" with me.This reminds me more of PB&Co's White Chocolate Wonderful that I usually love on my oats, except this is a smidge more decadent considering there are peanut butter cups in the mixture!

The oatmeal and its star players:Similar Mix as the other day:
1/3 cup oats, 1/3 cup skim milk, 1/4 cup water, salt1/2 banana1 tsp Apricot preserves mixed in while hotchopped strawberry and blueberries mixed into hot oatsToppings:
4 Reeses Pieces!more chopped straw and blueunsweetened coconutZoe's GranolaBlonde PB spoonSnuck a pic of my lunch salad...(baby spin, lettuce, tomato, carrot, cuke, red onion, strawberries, candied pecans, Annie's lite Raspberry Vinaigrette)

Also had a Flat out...1/4 with Sabra Roast Red Pepper Hummus (I'm obsessed now), and 1/2 with Honey Maple Turkey...I wanted each flavor separate!

Worked late...but at least being super busy makes the time go by, plus overtime!

Came home hungry...wanted some roasted veggies and Annie's (have been craving Annie's mac and cheese for like a year haha) Clearly not going to be done at the same time...so I got these into the oven:
Then ate this!
