Brownies for breakfast??

Yup, I had some brownies at breakfast this morning. Chocolate is good anytime of the day!

Last night, in the spirit of using up random boxes taking up room in our very small kitchen (like the lentil soup mix!), we made some Ghirardeli Turtle brownies!

So this morning I added some brownie pieces to my oatmeal:

In my bowl:

  • 1/3 cup oats, 1/3 cup milk, 1/3 cup water
  • 1 banana (sliced and cooked with the oats)
  • 1 tbsp flax
  • cinnamon 
  • brownie pieces!!! (I also had a few additional bites out of the pan…)

Whole wheat wrap with turkey, avocado, hummus, spinach, and raw zucchini. I was skeptical about using raw zucchini (since I always sautee it), but I really didn’t feel like getting out any pans. The raw zucchini was great in the wrap! Not sure I would eat it plain, but it added a nice fresh taste and crunch to the wrap!

After class, I had time to either go for a run or take a nap before work. I was feeling sleepy, but being a cardio addict, I decided a run would make me feel better. It was a great run, but I really need to update my playlist! I ended up listening to Lady Gaga’s Poker Face about 4 times :) . Great song, but I need some more music that pumps me up! Any suggestions?

Since I skipped my nap, I needed coffee before work! So I made a cup of Costa Rica coffee (that we bought at the organic coffee farm over Spring Break).

This really hit the spot! Despite my raging sweet tooth, I just like to add a little bit of milk to my coffee, no sugar. Especially when it is good Costa Rican coffee :) . And that my Medical Nutrition Therapy book in the background that I should be reading right now….

I also tried my first Cashew Cookie Larabar today!

This was much drier than my usual Apple Pie or Cherry Pie Larabars that I normally buy, but it had a great taste to it! Tasted exactly what I would imagine a cashew cookie should taste like. Sorry for the super vague description, but I highly recommend this flavor….especially dipped in coffee!
