I have been an absent little blogger this past week. That pesky cold that I'd been battling came roaring back with a vengeance and I couldn't breathe or taste for days upon days! Then my mom & dad came for a quick weekend visit and I was just too darn busy having fun to get online. Our laptop didn't see the light of day from Thursday of last week until last night ---- that's never happened before! Dare I say it's feeling a wee bit neglected?!
When my parents come to town, they're in high demand and other than a quick coffee at home, we didn't eat in once. We were out with family and friends for every meal, which was great, but I admit that it also feels great to get back into a normal, healthy eating routine.
Here's a peek at yesterday's eats...
Breakfast
Peach-passionfruit Greek yogourt with granola.
Dunkin' Donuts Pumpkin coffee with milk. L<3VE (thank you DAD)!!!!
Lunch
Leftover roasted veggie thin crust pizza, a Honeycrisp apple and a Sparkling Ice ~ Pink Grapefruit.
Snack
Homemade crockpot applesauce. In this batch, I used Honeycrisp and Cortland apples.
Dinner
I was craving comfort food yesterday. I haven't felt like cooking since I came down with this cold, so most of my meals have been quick and random. Finally, last night I felt like putting together a real meal. We had cheese tortellini with veggies in a rose sauce and Caesar salad. It was so good!
What meal do you crave most once you get your appetite back?
What's your fave pasta sauce?

Sometimes it's good to just put the electronics away for a few days and enjoy every minute you can w/ family and friends! :)
ReplyDeleteI rarely loose my appetite but when I do, it's some sort of salad with protein & a ridiculous amount of vegetables.
That's a great meal to get back on the healthy train again for sure!!
DeleteLife happens and you can't blog. I totally understand about that. Hopefully you'll feel better soon! Pumpkin coffee is my favorite thing as of late. I'm not normally a dunkin fan (though there is one .1 from my house) but their at home brew is pretty good! Have a great day and feel better! :)
ReplyDeleteThere really are no Dunkin Donuts in our area, so I like to stop when I see one. Their pumpkin coffee is pretty great!!
DeleteYumm... homemade applesauce!
ReplyDeleteAlmost all of my recipes have been quick and random too. I need to work on making some good recipes :)
It's funny how we get in a rut with our meals sometimes isn't it?! I'm planning to do a little menu planning this weekend so I can make some healthier, well-rounded meals next week!
