Today began like most Sundays do around here. Ryan and I sat down to a delicious breakfast that included scrambled eggs made with ham and spinach.
Plus a sliced apple with peanut butter for dipping on the side!
Then it was time for church followed by some Sunday errands. At Publix, we loaded up on food for the week, including ingredients for a few crock pot meals.
Tonight’s dinner is already cooking away. If it turns out well, I’ll be sure to share the recipe with you guys. Lots of lentils in this dish!
Lunch
Lunch came together quickly. We made roast beef subs with fresh bread from the bakery.
On the side I had a sliced Harry & David pear that I plucked from a gift basket the company sent to me yesterday. Those pears are so darn delicious. (Stay tuned for a Harry & David giveaway later this week!)
I also had my fair share of Thorntons toffee that Ryan brought back from England.
Oh my word, this stuff is magnificent. It’s turning me into a toffee monster. It tastes like a cross between milky caramels and crunchy toffee. Yum!
I’m hoping to spend the rest of the afternoon outside. See ya!
I’m doing a slow cooker meal today, too! It’s beef and broccoli and it smells SO good right now! Fingers crossed that both of our meals turn out well!
Kristen @ notsodomesticated
yum!! will you be posting the recipe on your blog? i want to check it out!
julie @ peanut butter fingers
Hi Julie
I found your blog a couple of weeks ago and I love it! I live in Ireland and I’m trying hard to make 2013 my year of healthy eating. I’ve put on some weight and am not feeling great about myself but your daily posts have been so inspirational and uplifting!! Just wanted to say hi and thanks for bringing some sunshine into my day…keep up the great work
PS Sadie is so adorable
Janet
Fresh bread is always the best! For some reason, everything tastes better when it is from overseas. My brother went to France and the french chocolate he brough back was to.die.for.
Enjoy the gorgeous weather
Lauren
My mom use to make the most delicious toffee cookies! I haven’t had them in so long but it might be well over due! She will have to mail me some
Rachel
Um…that toffee looks amazing! I believe you should do a giveaway
Amy @ Writing While Running
Ah freshly baked bread makes me swoon. So delicious. I’m not a huge toffee fan, anything that can get stuck in my teeth and that’s really chewy I could easily pass on. Like gummies and candy too.
Lisa
Thornton’s product’s are amazing; some of my favourite chocolates!
Michelle@Peachy Palate
Oooo toffee! Lately I’ve been having the munches on chocolate covered power berries. YUM. I’m really excited about the giveaway! Harry and David are a favorite!
Avery @ Southern Belle Living Well
Hope your crock-pot meal is share worthy! Why did I not buy pears yesterday at the store?
Kim@hungryhealthygirl
Enjoy getting back into your routine with your husband!
Stephanie @ Steph’s Miles
Lucky! I am a huge supporter of the toffee monster! My neighbor makes us some at Christmas time that’s to die for!
Elizabeth @ myneonrunningshoes

Audrey Adams
That toffee sounds SO good!! I think the only thing that would keep me away is knowing the tummy ache that would ensue after consuming it…maybe.
Katie @ Talk Less, Say More

Natalie @ Free Range Human
You have officially given me a craving for toffee now. I expect a piece in my mailbox by the end of the week.
Tina @ Best Body Fitness
Have you tried making a corned beef in the crockpot yet? I got one on sale at publix yesterday so that’s what we have on the menu. It’s super easy and delicious!
Stephanie*s
Super jealous of that toffee AND the going outside part…New York is COLD this week!
Lauren @ Eat Like An Elephant
I’m making the slow cooker beef stew you made the other day! I added sweet potatoes, green peppers, parsnips, and fennel (instead of onions). It smells super yummy so far! Can’t wait to try it!
Krystina
That looks like my bfast today– love the combo of eggs and spinach!
Joelle (On a Pink Typewriter)
That toffee looks soo good, as does the pear! Yum!
Nicole @ Fruit ‘N’ Fitness
I am excited to see what the Crock Pot meal is. If it contains lots of lentils then it absolutely HAS to be good!! Lentils are definitely one of my favorite foods right now.
Holy moley that toffee looks unbelievably delicious. Don’t get me wrong, I am excited about this future Harry & David giveaway, but it is too bad you aren’t doing a giveaway for the toffee!
Hannah @ CleanEatingVeggieGirl
I am so jealous! That is my most favorite toffee ever! So soft and chewy!! Did he bring you the chocolate covered ones as well? Yummy!!!
Holly
That toffee looks so yum. And the dinner too. We went grocery shopping today and it was slammed to the walls. Miserable
Emily @ FitMamaInTheCity
Toffee? Yummm!!! I’m so jealous you get to spend your days ouside! It’s a little cold here to do more than a few minutes at a time so I pretty much head out for my run and then take shelter in my room for the rest of the time. Oh well!
But fresh bread. Yum.
Sarah @PickyRunner

Melanie @ Happy Being Healthy
What are those dark spots in the toffee?
Sonja @ The {Happy} Travel Bug
I love love love toffee! I can’t even imagine having that quality of toffee around me, it would already be gone! I like the scrambled eggs too, I always add spinach to mine!

when it comes to toffee, it is judgement free zone
tiffany @dynamics of happy
I moved from England to Oklahoma five years ago and I miss Thorntons SO MUCH! I bought all my family gift baskets from there for Christmas. Their christmas toffee is amazing. So jealous, but glad you are enjoying it!
Charlotte
That toffee looks so good! I just went to Thorntons website to order some but not sure about the $30 shipping…I’m really tempted!
Christine
Ahh I love toffee.. That looks amazing!
Lauren @ Chocolate, Cheese and Wine
That roast beef sub looks amazing. Did you roast the beef or purchase it at the grocery? If so what brand??
Rachel
That toffee looks amazing! I am so jealous that you live in a place where you can spend time outside. It is frigid here, and we had a big ice storm today. I’m ready to go into hibernation.
Renee @ RunningForRedVelvet
