It rained all day yesterday. \u00a0The dogs weren’t happy but I was thrilled! \u00a0Finally a break from the heat and humidity (yeah it was humid, nothing crazy but unpleasant) with cool breezes and a gloomy day. \u00a0I was able to open up the windows and get some fresh air in the house.<\/p>\n

Plus I spent a crap ton of time in the kitchen. \u00a0I worked on a new breakfast recipe, made some stock, made mayo, worked on a new cheese cracker recipe, and made some waffles.<\/p>\n

Alright let’s talk eats! Going over two days so I will split it back up into meals.<\/p>\n

BREAKFAST:<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"Oatmeal<\/a><\/p>\n

I experimented with oat bars yesterday. \u00a0I wanted to make cookies but ended up baking these in a baking dish to make bars instead. \u00a0It’s oats, almond flour, eggs, bananas, and dried cranberries. \u00a0There’s no extra sugar\u00a0aside from the small amount in the vanilla almond milk.<\/p>\n

I wanted\u00a0to make something I could store in the freezer and quickly heat up on days I’m not super hungry in the mornings. \u00a0These bars turned out very dense and really hardy. \u00a0If you guys want, I can post the recipe, just let me know. \u00a0They aren’t terribly exciting but I will definitely share if there’s interest!<\/p>\n

Today’s breakfast was scrambled eggs with chopped sausage and some roasted sweet potato. \u00a0The sweet potatoes are leftovers from Monday and the sausage was already prepped as well. \u00a0Easy and quick breakfast to put together!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

LUNCH:<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"BLT<\/a><\/p>\n

BLTs on grain-free waffles! \u00a0Dripping with homemade mayo. \u00a0Mmmm heaven.\u00a0I love BLTs so much and with tomatoes coming into their season I’m sure we’ll be having this a lot.<\/p>\n

The waffle recipe<\/a> is from Brittany Angell and it’s fantastic. \u00a0It’s grain free and makes the lightest crispest waffles. \u00a0They definitely remind me of the texture of a true Belgian style waffle. \u00a0Super crispy but so light they don’t feel heavy in the stomach. \u00a0I loved them so much I immediately made a second batch. \u00a0And then I plopped them in the freezer to have them on hand for more sandwiches.<\/p>\n

I did make a few adjustment, I nixed the sugar since I wanted these to be savory to use for sandwiches and I also used baking soda instead of powder. \u00a0They turned out great though!<\/p>\n

They do cook up really fast so keep an eye on them so they don’t burn.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

DINNER:<\/span><\/h2>\n

Yesterday’s dinner was leftovers from Monday. \u00a0Nothing exciting to look at so I didn’t take a picture.<\/p>\n

\"Curry<\/a><\/p>\n

The last of the roast chicken got turned into curry chicken salad. \u00a0That’s my favorite part about making a roast chicken is having enough leftover for chicken salad. \u00a0This is going to be a recipe that I share soon, it’s super simple to make and can be easily adjusted for however much chicken you have.<\/p>\n

We had this on lettuce boats with some carrot sticks and cucumbers on the side. \u00a0Really simple late lunch\/dinner for a hot day.<\/p>\n

Scott and I will be off exploring this weekend and checking out some new brews, pretty excited about it!<\/p>\n
