<\/a>Yogurt with fresh blueberries and plums along with some homemade granola on top.\u00a0 I’m almost out of granola so I’m going to have to make another batch soon!\u00a0 I’m going to start experimenting with it a bit and I hope it works out because I love granola and I would hate to waste ingredients on a failed recipe.<\/p>\nI watched some Food TV which is pretty typical for me on a Sunday morning as I browse the internet and let my bod relax from the week and my most recent long run.\u00a0 I headed back out in the heat to take care of Rocky and get his walk done before the sun got too high in the sky.\u00a0 We did a short walk though because it was still crazy humid outside and he was not having any of it.\u00a0 When we got back home I started prepping things for Sunday Breakfast and Scott was also up.\u00a0 Hooray!<\/p>\n
Prep was easy this week because I was able to use leftovers from the freezer.\u00a0 This is why I always make a ton of food friends so that I have things to pull out when I need it. \u00a0 I highly recommended giving it a try! I realize that this might mean changing your habits but change is good! Embrace it!<\/p>\n
We had glorious buckwheat pancakes.<\/p>\n
And totally filling! Adding a bit of extra toppings to your pancakes will help fill you up and keep you full for longer.\u00a0 You’ll also find yourself eating less.\u00a0 Instead of a stack of three, you might only need two or even one and a half!\u00a0 Pancakes, just like oats, can be topped with whatever floats your boat and what tastes good to you.\u00a0 Experiment!<\/p>\n Along with the pancakes we had some cantaloupe.\u00a0 The first cantaloupe of the summer!\u00a0 It was so delicious!\u00a0 I love cantaloupe very much.\u00a0 While it’s not my fave summer fruit, it’s up there!\u00a0 Growing up we would eat it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on occasion.\u00a0 It might sound odd but it was totally delicious and refreshing.<\/p>\n After breakfast I did some prep work for dinner and then Scott and I actually had time to game again!<\/p>\n We’re still playing Lego Star Wars and it’s still frustrating me.\u00a0 Each section has a red brick that you can collect.\u00a0 They are hidden or sometimes you have to preform a certain task before it appears.\u00a0 They aren’t easy to find (at least not in the SW game) and we had just found one!\u00a0 Hooray!\u00a0 I was on my way over to get it when the scene ended, there was some animation to further the story and we were dropped into the next section.<\/p>\n CURSE YOU Lego Star Wars!\u00a0 It also reconfirmed my hate for playing a character with a light saber.\u00a0 Guns are much faster.<\/p>\n Then it was time for dinner!\u00a0 We were grilling and had to make haste because clouds started rolling in and it seemed like it might start raining soon.\u00a0 Dinner was super easy and with early prep there was no cleanup needed afterwards.<\/p>\n Those are my kinds of meals!<\/p>\n It was spicy and perfect!\u00a0 The chops were tender and totally fully of flavor.\u00a0 They were thin so they grilled up in a matter of a few minutes.\u00a0 Scott was nomming away like crazy.\u00a0 And for some extra veggie power, we had salads.<\/p>\n Topped with a homemade honey mustard dressing.\u00a0 So easy to make that you can whip it up in a minute!<\/p>\n Mix and dress!\u00a0 No exact measurements because depending on how much salad you have will determine how much dressing you need.<\/p>\n Thankfully it didn’t rain on us! But it was really buggy outside so we had to eat inside which was a bit of bummer because I love sitting on the deck enjoying a meal and the outdoors.\u00a0 During dinner our conversation was all about Star Wars.\u00a0 I was having Scott explain the story to me because I’ve never seen it<\/em>.<\/p>\n True statement.<\/p>\n I’m not interested in Star Wars therefore I have never watched Star Wars.\u00a0 But because all dorky related works can be compared to other dorky related works, a lot of my questions were like:<\/p>\n “Oh, so the Sith or Dark Side is like the Dark Magic in Harry Potter?”<\/p>\n “So is Queen Amidala like Aragorn in that she is a lot older than she looks? She’s old but doesn’t really age?” (I didn’t really get an answer to this!)<\/p>\n Also? Can I just say that speaking as someone who hasn’t even seen the movies, I’m totally not buying the Amidala and Anakin romance.\u00a0 Sorry. Scott, who has seen the movies and understands the story also agrees that their romance is a little (a lot) unbelievable.\u00a0 Especially given how much of a prick Anakin is (his words, not mine).<\/p>\n Once we were done eating and ready to sit on the couch to enjoy the rest of the evening and relax, it was 9pm.\u00a0 Just in time for Holmes!<\/p>\n Or so I thought.<\/p>\n Seems that HGTV decided to change the time Holmes comes on and now shows it at 8pm instead of 9pm.\u00a0 I don’t recall this getting mentioned anywhere.\u00a0 The changed caused us to totally miss Holmes!\u00a0 Grrrr!\u00a0 We watched a documentary instead because that’s how we roll.\u00a0 We also had dessert!<\/p>\n<\/a>Topped with yogurt and a drizzle of maple syrup along with granola and crushed nuts for crunch and texture.\u00a0 So good!<\/p>\n<\/a>Grilled cider brined pork chops<\/a> along with zucchini and yellow squash.\u00a0 The squash sat in a marinade of:<\/p>\n\n
