Breakfast: I made Ricotta Pancakes the other morning. The leftovers are great reheated (great to make on Sunday for a few easy breakfasts in a row) or cold like I ate for breakfast. The last 2 remaining pancakes got a smear of Almond Butter, wrapped in foil and went with me on my errands. I had a bunch of stuff to get done and this was my only free morning all week.
A few mornings I had work related meetings and a few were Your Weight Matters National Convention related. If you haven't heard...

Lunch: Came home and made a little plate of cooked shrimp (love those Shrimp Cocktail trays they have at Costco), a few Cucumber "Crackers" and a Greek Yogurt Dill Dip (plain Greek yogurt, chopped fresh dill, a squeeze of lemon, salt & pepper) to dip everything in.
Dinner: The weather has been amazing... ummm if it was June... 80's!? in February... now don't get me wrong it's beautiful and I am not complaining... much... but a little winter or even spring would be nice. We maybe had 10 rainy days. The El Nino was an El No-Show. They keep saying it's not over. We'll see. I'm not holding my breath. I started pulling weeds because the little bit of rain we did get is making them grow like umm weeds. I can never garden without injury. Last time I was hit in the head with a pomegranate (those suckers hurt, drive by fruiting.) My arm courtesy of a rose bush. It better make some pretty flowers after this.
Well so the positive of this weather was I made up a bento picnic dinner... leftover grilled chicken, tomato salad, bean salad from the deli, ate outside and watched the sunset... nursing my wound.

Snacks: Too much coffee as usual including a Sugar Free Vanilla Soy Latte when I was running errands and as I write this I am eating a few Blue Diamond Dark Chocolate Almonds. So check this out you know those gift card tins that have a little insert to put your card. After you use your card, remove the insert and they are great putting almonds or Quest Bar Cookies in for an emergency purse snack when traveling.
