Ha!! hardly!  I had a little Pinot Grigio whilst I made supper this evening!

IMG_7031I am not a big white wine drinker but I thought I would try and branch out a little and I decided to give this one a try!  It was actually really good.  I liked the crisp fruity taste!

My Saturday was pretty low key actually.  Hubs had to work for most of the day so it was just me and J. 

This morning I woke up with J at 7:30 am and made us a yummy breakfast!

IMG_7006 Flax french toast!  My portion…

IMG_7008 J’s portion all cut up for him! :)   I topped them with thawed wild blueberries, plain yogurt and a little banana.  It was delish!

IMG_7009 I washed it down with a lovely french press coffee.

The rest of my day involved a little cooking…..

IMG_7011 I decided to whip up some of Gena’s Sunflower Seed and Carrot Pate.

I have seen it around the blogosphere and it looked so delicious…I had to try! 

IMG_7015 All whipped up and the final result…

IMG_7017 I tried it on a cracker right away…it was awesome!

Next up some healthy scones for breakfasts or snacks.  I found a recipe and changed it a little with the ingredients that I had on hand.  They turned out pretty good!

Multigrain Scones

IMG_7022

Ingredients:

1 egg
1/2 cup sugar
5 tablespoons grape seed or expeller-pressed canola oil
1/8 teaspoon lemon zest
1/2 cup oatmeal (not instant)
1/4cup wheat bran
1 1/2 cups unbleached white flour
2 tablespoons millet
2 tablespoons chia seeds
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup almond milk

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375° F.
2. Whisk the egg, sugar and oil together in a bowl. Mix the lemon zest and all of the dry ingredients together in a separate bowl and stir with a wooden spoon until all of them are evenly dispersed throughout. Slowly add the dry ingredients into the egg, sugar and oil, and mix to create a thick dough. Add the milk and mix well.
3. Lightly grease a baking pan. Scoop up tablespoonfuls of the dough and drop them one by one in mounds onto the baking sheet, leaving 2 inches of space between. You should have about 10 scones. Bake for 15-20 minutes, just until the crust is barely golden brown and the dough is dry. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes.

I like the fact they were easy to make and did not require to roll out dough or use a biscuit cutter!  Just plop them on a greased cookie sheet…easy peazy!

After my cook off I was a little hungry so I made a protein shake.

IMG_7021 So yummy!

I had a late lunch today.

IMG_7024 A few Blue Salba Corn chips and a turkey pita wrap.

IMG_7025 I am hooked on these!  With the turkey I put lettuce, pickles and lots-o-mustard!  YUMMO!

Hubs got home at about 2:30.  I then ran out to the store to get more milk for J and a few others things.

Supper tonight was one of my favourite easy meals!

IMG_7038 Tuna casserole and brussel sprouts!  Mmmmm…so good!

IMG_7039 I doused my portion in hot sauce and sipped my pinot with it!  Such a great meal…so simple but so flavourful!

Well it is pretty late and I need to get to bed.  We have a road trip tomorrow!  Time for family and turkey!  Can’t wait!

Be back on Monday!

Happy Thanksgiving
