Summer Holiday Weekend Recap
Hello and happy Monday to you! Did you melt this weekend? My Lord it was hot. And what do you do when you're us on a hot weekend? Dig out a tree obviously. 😑 Remember the pic of the tree from last week after the landscapers hacked it up? It went bye-bye. We were going to attempt to save it to possibly see if my friend could plant it at her new home (even though it should be done when dormant.) Well, after determining the roots attach to the Earth's core, we had to scrap that idea. We tried to get out early enough but it wasn't. We hacked off the top in sections using some really great pruning shears that made that job super easy then the Mr lobbed off the top so we could begin on the roots. We bought a shovel called the Root Slayer and I will say it did an amazing job getting through most of it. Neither of us are at our strongest right now so despite knowing we could've continued with chipping away at ...
Wow, that all looks delicious (except the Nutella...I don't get what people like about that stuff, but I could totally do peanut butter or chocolate on that banana).
ReplyDeleteAnd it doesn't look like anywhere near 2000 calories. I wonder if my calculations on my food are off somehow.
OK, so I know this is probably a hassle...but it is AWESOME! I feel so uninspired with my eating, and this is something that looks delicious, can be replicated, and could be tweaked to fit my calories REALLY easily. If we asked really, really, really nice might you consider doing this a little more often? Pretty pleeeeeease???
ReplyDeleteCheri- I shall take over your Nutella ration because I don't want it to go to waste! :) There are 240 calories of pure excess in the apple dip and the cereal bar but I figure for as long as I can enjoy them, I will and those will be the first thing to be cut. I like to keep it flexible.
ReplyDeleteAnnie- I'd be more than happy to do them if people are interested. I just figured people would find them boring, especially since my lunches are pretty similar. But if they can give anyone ideas, I will do them a little more frequently.
Just clicked over from YHL. You are amazing! Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteI love food posts. I photographed my food for an entire month and it was so much fun. I really got into plating everything perfectly and taking the best picture. And it helped with my food tracking because I often forget (or want to forget!) what I've eaten.
ReplyDeleteYou can have my nutella ration as well--I thought I would love it, but not so much. I like the food posts as well--gives me ideas.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE food posts and pictures of food, probably because I LOVE food so much. Your's looks particularly delicious. Course it's breakfast time here and I'm hungry, so that helps with the hunger issue. In fact gonna go eat my breakfast RIGHT NOW!
ReplyDeleteThat banana + Nutella used to be my breakfast all the time! So yummy. And I also love honeycrisp apples and Brussels sprouts and kettle corn--suddenly I'm feeling hungry. :)
ReplyDeleteHOLY YUM! I want everything on this post, especially that Nutella Banana and egg sammie, it spoke to my SOUL lol!!!
