Last night, Brant and I feasted on a simple dinner – Veggie Omelets!

The other night some friends mentioned that they sometimes eat omelet’s for dinner, and I could not stop thinking about them! So, I gave into my craving and whipped up a super simple dinner.

Two egg omelet with spinach, red pepper, broccoli, red pepper & artichoke spread and mozzarella cheese.

And a slice of Raisin Pecan bread with Mango Butter.

This was delicious!
This morning I was up bright and early for a spinning class. My favorite instructor teaches on Thursday mornings, and I have missed it the past few weeks, so this morning I was determined.
But, when I got to the gym 30 minutes early, the class was full! I was bummed…but, I made due and ran for an hour, then did a 20 minute cool-down on the elliptical.
I am usually cutting it close when I take the spinning class because I need to race around to get ready for work since it ends later than normal. Therefore, I set up my breakfast and packed my lunch last night.
For breakfast, I tried something new – Overnight Oats!
Last night before going to bed, I put the following into a bowl:
- 1/3 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tsp cinnamon

And, mixed it up.

I covered the bowl and placed it in the fridge to sleep.

This morning, after I raced back from the gym, I rushed to the fridge to look at my concoction…

WOW! It worked! The oats absorbed the liquid, and made a creamy mess. I mixed it up and added some toppings, just as I would do to oatmeal and yogurt – 1/2 sliced banana, 1 tbsp peanut butter, 1 tbsp berry jam and a sprinkle of raspberry granola.

This was great. I can’t really compare it to oatmeal because it tasted so different to me. Different in a good way, almost like I had just mixed oatmeal into yogurt. I think it may be a good alternative to oatmeal in the summer. I love how the chia seeds gelled up and made the mix thicker and creamier.
I also had some tea to warm me up! It’s chilly out today.

Looks like a busy day ahead!
