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:      

• 1/2 cup Bob’s red mill thick oats (uncooked)
• 1/2 cup Almond breeze unsweetened vanilla almond milk
• 1 tsp brown sugar
• cinnamon

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:      

• 1 can tuna
• s&P, rpf, celery seed, dill weed
• 3 tbsp greek oikos
• 1 big squirt wasabi mustard
• couple drops lemon juice
• 1/4 cup chopped white onion
• 1 chopped pickle (that’s how my dad makes it!)

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.       

Stats on lunch:  211 calories, 19g carbs, 2g fat, 29g protein, 6g fiber      

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! 🙂
