Breakfast: Shelly's Sweet Zucchini Pancakes with SF Maple Syrup. I made a batch last weekend and froze them between slices of wax paper in a Tupperware. They make a super quick breakfast mid week. Just pull a few out into the fridge to defrost and heat (or not they are surprisingly yummy cold too)
Lunch: My super cool bento with yummy leftover stir fry...

Shelly's Lime Flavored Yogurt
3 1/2 oz. Fage Greek Yogurt (1/2 a container. I use 2%, they have 0% too)
1 Tablespoon or so of ANY flavor Sugar Free Torani Syrup (this time I used SF Lime)
1 teaspoon Sugar Free Lime Jello, dry
Mix till combined. Sometimes I sprinkle some cereal or granola on top for a little crunch. You can top with fresh or defrosted frozen fruit (Lime & Pineapple is yummy). If you want fruity chunky yogurt drop everything plus some frozen or fresh fruit in a mini food processor and whiz till smooth. This makes a GREAT dip for sliced apples too.
Dinner: Mmmm Yummy Chicken Rollatinis (this is Rollatini version 4 - other versions) served with with Green Beans.

Highlights of the Day:
* It was payday in my world. Highlight. Of course that also meant it was bill paying day so yeah I'm broke again. Not a highlight.
* Speaking of green paper... $145 million dollar California Lottery stakes. I played. Soooo until I check my numbers and find out I'm one of thousands of other losers the potential of my beach house and philanthropic life is still alive.
* Remembered it's Rod Run weekend in my town. Ogled by hot guys who drive cool cars. Oh yeah. Nice for the ego once and awhile. No Farmer's Market though :( gonna have to hit another town's market this week.
Listening to: Glee music. I know I'm a goober.
