Tasty Tidbits

Tink's growing!

But she isn't so big that she doesn't still fit in my hood. :-) Such a cutie, at least when she's not being bad.

I'm happy to have this week over! It was very busy & I'm ready to sleep past 6:12am. We'll be going on a breakfast date, raking leaves, doing laundry, cooking & relaxing this weekend. The colder the weather gets, the happier I am to just stay home & be cozy.

What are you up to this weekend? Any fun plans? Great eats?

Here's what we've been eating in the last week:

Breakfasts

• Canteloupe Green Smoothies
• Peach yogurt with cherry & honey lentil granola 
• Trader Joe's Pumpkin Greek Yogurt - SO GOOD! I hope they make this year round.
• Trader Joe's Cinnamon Crumpets toasted & topped with apple butter
• Ashley's Apple Cider Muffins - These are gluten free & still light & fluffy. They have just the right hint of apple cider tang & are delicious topped with homemade apple butter.
• Bananas & crunchy peanut butter

Lunches

Tuesday:

• Spaghetti Squash Pad Thai (adapted from Tina, who adapted from Well Fed) - I followed the recipe for the sauce pretty closely, then added bell peppers, edamame, & carrots & ommitted the snap peas & chicken. It had a lot of flavor & is one of the best spaghetti squash dishes I've had so far.
