This week is just F-L-Y-I-N-G by. Can’t believe tomorrow is Friday already!
Breakfast #1
This morning I was craving something warm and peanut-buttery for breakfast. I pulled a Mama lupe low carb tortilla out of the freezer to let it thaw out. Then I topped it with 1 tbsp Trader Joe’s Crunchy Almond Butter and some sliced strawberries.
I wrapped it up into a little burrito and put on the george foreman grill until it was hot and the shell was crispy. Then I wrapped the little guy up in foil and stuck him in my purse.
I got to work about 20 minutes later, and the wrap was still nice and hot and gooey.
This was just delicious. So simple, and so delicious!
Side note: If you are obsessed with freezing things like me, before you freeze the tortillas put a piece of parchment paper or wax paper between each one. That way you can easily grab 1 tortilla from the freezer at a time (and they won’t all be frozen into one tortilla blob).

Breakfast #2
OO! That’s right, Overnight Oats!
I typically use quick oats when I make overnight oats, but this time I tried them with Bob’s Red Mill Thick Rolled Oats instead. Last night I threw the following into a bowl in the fridge:
This morning, I topped the oats with strawberries and blueberries:
The rolled oats have a different consistency than quick oats. They really keep their oat texture and are somewhat chewy:
These were sooooo yummmy. If I had to choose, I’d pick quick oats over rolled oats, but I’d be happy to eat either one 🙂

Lunch
Healthified Tuna Salad Lettuce Wrap! This was one of those times were I just kept adding things to the bowl until I found something tasty:
I made a lettuce wrap out of the tuna salad and also had some cucumber salad on the side, which was leftover from last night’s gyro dinner.

For dessert, I had a little unsweetened applesauce with some cinnamon. When I say little, I mean about 2 spoonfuls.. 🙂 (Leftovers from the big fat flop protein cakes I made)
Good news! I think my phone is almost fully recovered! 🙂

Ahhh I love this idea for breakfast! I wish I could pull myself away from my smoothies in the morning, but I am drawn to them everyday and will not try something new!
I heart applesauce and cinnamon!
XXOO
Thanks :) I can't wait to play with the fruits and butters... something about warm almond butter and peanut butter is just droolworthy! What's your favorite smoothie recipe?
