It's gonna be a bright, sun-shiny day!

High of 73 F and 0% rain chance.  I like it.


Good morning friends :)
Today is my last day to be lazy and to have slept in as I must be back at work tomorrow.  Most people would probably be quite distraught over this thought but thankfully, I do love my job!  Also, most people probably wouldn't consider getting out of bed at 7:30 a.m. as sleeping in...  When one has to typically wake at 4:30, 7:30 is DEFINITELY a nice extension of sleep.  Today I had somewhat of an alarm clock who was up with the sun and felt I should be up as well-

Because this is the final day of no work until next week I have lots to accomplish.  There are a few meals to make for the busy, work-filled weekend as well as a few other things.  On a random side note, Obama is at Disney World to promote tourism.  Luckily I have no need to leave my house as I'm sure the roads surrounding the theme parks will be mighty slow-moving!


Today's meals:


We prepped and baked breakfast last night as Evan had to be up early for work.  This way we just had to pop a couple egg muffins in the microwave and cook a couple slices of bacon.  We wanted to top the muffins with avocado but the ones we purchased are not quite soft enough for enjoying.  Bummer.  This egg muffin recipe is taken from Paleo Comfort Foods' cookbook (we just got it for Christmas!)
chopped peppers & sweet onion
12 eggs, whisked

Breakfast is served!

I came across an interesting article this afternoon on The Healthy Home Economist blog about coconut and almond milk in cartons and the ingredients that make the products an unhealthy buy.  I had no idea!  I will certainly heed this warning and start purchasing my milks more wisely or make my own.



I don't have any photos of today's lunch as it was just leftovers of last night's shrimp scampi dinner.  If you want to see a picture of it just scroll down to yesterday's post :)  And as for dinner, we tried a brand new recipe from Paleo Comfort Foods' cookbook.  Bangers and mash.  It was delicious!

We didn't stop with dinner.  We decided to make dessert!  Noatmeal raisin cookies from Make it Paleo's book.
