Changes

Things will be changing for me in the next few months and I will have to make adjustments.  As of April 1st I will be becoming a stay at home Mom for good.  We made the big decision of me quitting my career and taking care of J full-time.  He needs a lot of care and who better than Mommy to do it!

I admit I am excited but also it will take me some time to get used to the idea that my job is going to be different than the office job I have been doing for about 20 years!  So there you have it that is one of the changes as of late and it is a big one.

Also I bought a new lens for my camera

A Canon 50mm f/1.8 II and let me tell you I LOVE it!  It takes great pictures for the blog.

This morning I tried something new for breakfast.  Overnight oats.  I have seen them around a lot of blogs and thought I needed to give it a try.

I used Bob’s Red Mill Muesli as the base and added:

• 1/3 cup muesli
• 2T rolled oats
• 1T chia seeds
• 4 oz of plain yogurt
• 1 tsp of cinnamon
• 2/3 cup Vanilla Almond milk

For toppings I put 2 dried apricots diced, 1T of walnuts and 1T of granola with a dollop of pumpkin butter on top.  This was so darn good!  I ate it all up and practically licked the bowl clean!  I can’t wait to have it again.  This one is a keeper!  I got the idea from The Edible Perspective…thanks girl!

Breakfast this morning was also enjoyed with a cup of fresh French press coffee. Delightful!

This afternoon lunch was a veggie feast!

I took a spaghetti squash and roasted it up.  Scooped the half the flesh into a bowl and proceeded to top it with roasted brussel sprouts, broccoli and red pepper and for dressing I made the best “cheeze” ever!  Thank you Mae for sharing your amazing recipe!

I also added some very ripe avocado as well! YUM! This was so very tasty!  I have more for tomorrow too.

This evening the hubs and I are going on a date night!  We are heading out for a fancy smancy dinner at a restaurant called Rush.  We purchased an Exclusive tasting menu for two including wine from a silent auction and we are using it tonight.  I love having meals like this they are always so good.  At least in my experience anyway. 

So come by tomorrow to see if I was right!

Ta..Ta…for now!
