A honey of a morning

This morning I wanted honey. 

Big, overflowing tablespoons of honey.

But since ingesting a whole jar of honey, although it is very Pooh-like, is not the healthiest thing to do... so instead I made this:

Yogurt with chopped strawberries, muesli and raw raspberry honey.

On my latest shopping trip I did treat myself to a big tub of my favorite yogurt.

I put a 1/2 cup of Siggi's into a bowl and topped it with chopped strawberries.

 Then I tossed on a hearty handful of muesli.

And then the star of the show - the honey.

And the best thing about honey? It is impossible to get it out of the jar without some running all over the rim. 

Then, of course, an inordinate of time must be spent scooping every last drop of honey off of said jar with your finger :-) 

This morning demanded a big mug of coffee.

I will be making a special treat for myself and the dogs for lunch so check back later!

Too good to be true?

I am easily swayed by rave reviews. I have been seeing ads for this product everywhere:

Clinique Repairwear Laser Focus

And then when I looked around the internet for reviews - it has a surprising amount of really positive reviews. Will I buy it? I am still on the fence.

Has anyone else tried this? And how did you like it?

After pulling myself away from the computer I made this for breakfast - 

Mixed berry kefir with muesli, scrambled egg whites with nutritional yeast, 1/2 scoop of Amazing Grass in water, coffee and an apple.

 

 

This looks like a lot for breakfast but each of the bowls are small. In fact, the bowl that has the egg whites is a children's size rice bowl.

I am going to have to get more nutritional yeast because I am going through it like nobody's business - I love how it makes egg whites look like regular eggs (yes, I am easily fooled) and the extra cheesy taste doesn't hurt either.

Egg whites with 1 1/2 Tbsp. of nutritional yeast, black pepper and a sprinkle of paprika and parsley.

I may torture myself later by going to the store to stare longingly at the Clinique cosmetic counter...

Sunrise muesli

Today I woke up before sunrise for some reason so you will have to excuse the flash.

So, this morning it was sunrise muesli:

Muesli with milk, blueberries, slivered almonds and peanut butter.

And very strong coffee.

The dogs were out of kibble this morning so I am cooking them some breakfast now.

I will post pictures later...

A bit of this, a bit of that

Breakfast this morning was a little bit of this - a little bit of that.

Muesli with milk and a spoonful of raspberry preserves and peanut butter, watermelon and blueberries and coffee.

 I am running low on fruit - time to go grocery shopping!

And I need to pick up some new breakfast options...

So far, it is blissfully quiet here this morning.

I am hoping it stays that way while I am out at the store - otherwise I will come home to a very unhappy ->

Sooo hungry

I probably should have had a little something for dinner last night because I woke up this morning STARVING. Not a good thing.

I wanted something fast so - 

1 cup of muesli + 1/2 cup of milk + chopped apple + blueberries.

It was just what I needed - quick to make and quick to get in my tummy.

The morning would not be complete without caffeine.

I am amazed how plump and juicy these blueberries have stayed all week long.

I guess I could call this post "The Ode to Blueberries" except it is neither lyrical or poetic :-)

I am hoping to get in a dog outing later today - we shall see...

Breakfast Act 1

Even though I slept 8+ hours last night - I still woke up exhausted((

I had a little bit of yogurt left so I mixed up this:

Greek yogurt with muesli, blueberries and a drizzle of honey.

And of course tea!

I have a little something cooking on the stove.

Breakfast Act 2 coming soon...

What's for breakfast?

Not getting caffeine into my body as soon as possible after getting up early leads to -> doing outside activities and returning to the house and waking up sometime later - laid out on the couch with the dogs draped over me - (yup, the dogs were clearly not on board with the 'acquiring caffeine so I can stay awake' goal...)

So after some much needed caffeine.

 

I had a breakfast of greek yogurt, muesli, chopped up apple and a drizzle of Udo's oil .

 The dogs got a dollop of yogurt (note that this small dish of food was mixed and then split between them) some Kyo-Green, chunks of apple and a drizzle of Udo's oil.  

Now, to get some work done!
