saturday snapshot

Strawberry muffins with hot coffee and maybe a dab of maple-almond butter, just to keep things interesting. Planning a trip to the library and maybe a dinner involving the crock pot. TGI-Saturday! 

How 'bout you? What are you up to today?

Meatless Monday: breakfast planning

This week, I am getting ready to start my first semester teaching at a new university. Aside from occasionally breathing into a paper bag, I feel absolutely fine about it. Which means, of course, that anything that I can potentially worry about/plan for, I am. 

Which leads me to today's Meatless Monday post: breakfasts. Specifically, filling, nutritious breakfasts that I could--in theory--make ahead of time so as to be able to grab/eat-with-a-spoon-standing-over-counter in my morning rush. 

I am really intrigued by the idea of making hot cereal with whole grains, like quinoa. This helpful article in Whole Living got my brain going. As the weather gets chillier, it appeals to me to have a hot, stick-to-your-ribs kind of breakfast to start the day. 

Then again, I might just make these cookies, and call breakfast for the month done.
