I also set up some overnight steel cut oats for bfast today and tomorrow.
I made them with:
1/2cup oats
1/4 walnuts
My mid morning snack was a string cheese, and then came LUNCH! Yay salad time...
(p.s. check out the REALLY LONG baby carrot in the middle...it was kind of scary not gonna lie)
I also broke a piece off of this bar that I opened up yesterday. I'm a sucker for the sweet and salty combo. This was my first time with this flavor, I've had the Peanut Butter Pretzel flavor and that one is awesome! This is great as well...the pretzels add that yummy salty flavor here and there, but there is also almonds, peanuts, raisins and choc. chips!
Just remembered I never commented on the Ellie's cherry walnut bars that my roommate made.
They are good, not amazing. A tad dry in my opinion, but much better when I heated it up in the microwave first! I like how they are not too sweet though, and the apricot preserves "glaze" on top add a nice tangy sweetness! I think they are a great starting point for some modifications. Never the less, I still packed one for today AND tomorrow...so yeah they are good :)
I'm sure the afternoon will fly by too...yay! Don't know whats in store for dinner, but I really can't spend any more money so hopefully Brian has something at his apt...hmmmm. It is gorgeous outside so maybe we can take a nice long walk.
Happy Hump Day!
Good to know about the bars. I've never had currants. DO you recommend them over raisins or dried cranberries?

ReplyDeleteOkay, too bad that the cherry-walnut bar doesn't taste as amazing as it looks!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your busy day!!!
your salad definitely looks AMAZING - i love all your toppings. I had to laugh about the scary carrot - my friend says the same thing all the time :P
ReplyDeleteJust doing some blog surfing. I like the colorful header on your blog.
ReplyDeletehe was good to you this weekend i'm sure he'll have something for dinner ;-) i'm with heather and have never had currants, either... warming somewhat dry things does always make them better!!
ReplyDeleteMmmmm... currants. Thanks for the reminder. I need to pick up some soon! :)
