Crafting and Not Cooking

October 27, 2011 by Julie 30 Comments

Ryan had to work late tonight which actually worked out really well for me. I had quite a few things on my professional to do list as well as one very important thing on my personal to do list.

Crafting an anniversary gift for that husband of mine!

All done!

And yes, the sissy butterfly wrapping paper  from Ryan’s birthday surfaced again. I officially used the last of it, so no more bug paper!

(I’ll be sure to reveal the gift on the blog once he opens it on Sunday.)

Since I didn’t get any work done this morning thanks to some unexpected hurdles at the DMV, I worked into the evening and ate dinner at my desk before crafting in front of the TV while watching Modern Family. (I honestly cannot thank you guys enough for recommending that show to me. It’s quickly becoming one of my all-time favorite shows!)

Dinner was quick and quite random.

Dinner

I didn’t feel like doing any cooking, so I made myself breakfast for dinner.

First I had a pumpkin oatmeal yogurt bowl!

In the mix: 

  • 2/3 cup old fashioned oats
  • 6 ounces vanilla Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup almond milk
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

And then I ate two small bowls of Honey Nut Chex cereal because I can never stop at one serving of cereal.

Off to read some more of the October book club selection!  It’s beginning to intrigue me a bit more…

    Umm…get out of my brain please. I had pumpkin yogurt oats for breakfast and the only thing different between our mixes was some pumpkin spice. I need to have it again tomorrow I think. And the next day. Yum 🙂

    Love the wrapping paper! So cute.

    I had breakfast for dinner too, but went savory – eggs scrambled with spinach, toast, and home fries. It must be in the air. (And, it’s easy.) 🙂

    I completely agree about cereal, I could eat it until I’m sick! It’s so amazing! How? I have no idea…

    Aha, return of the oat-gurt. That seemed to be a real trend in the blog world for awhile and has somewhat disappeared in recent months. Probably cause it looks like crap when pictured. Too bad, since it tastes divine. Oh well, they can’t all be pretty.
    I’m looking forward to seeing what’s underneath all that wrapping paper. I hope you didn’t get him a puppy

    I wanted breakfast for dinner but had to cook for the bf anyway, so I had a turkey burger but then also gave in to the yogurt bowl craving. Makes a perfect and proteinful dinner!

    Going back for seconds (and sometimes third) is inevitable when it comes to cereal…always gonna happen, full or not!

    I can never stop at one serving of cereal either. And quite honestly, it’s dangerous to even be in my house because it’s what I end up wanting 24/7….but.it’s.so.good!

    Ha, I rarely buy cereal anymore because I can’t stop at one bowl either. I’ve been known to eat an entire box in 2 days. Oops.

    Do you just mix up your oats/yogurt bowl and eat it as is? Or stick it in the microwave?

    I wish I could just eat cereal for dinner – I wouldn’t be able to stop! Veggies and some type of meat are usually a must 🙂
