Hey guys! How are y’all? Thanks so much for all of your awesome suggestions on what you do/take for sore throats! I’m feeling much better today, but still sound horrible. Plus when I cough it makes my head hurt. Is that weird?
Yesterday’s breakfast was some hot quinoa cereal (1/3 cup each of quinoa/milk/water, a dash of cinnamon, and some vanilla, cooked over medium heat for 15 minutes) with a little granola and roasted maple cinnamon almond butter:
It took all of my energy to make it, but the good news is it tasted amazing! All I did yesterday was lay in bed and sleep, with the exception of the 30 minutes I tried to watch a movie. I got up around 7pm feeling much more rested and made some Sicilian Split Pea Soup for dinner:
I love this brand! Has anyone else tried Alessi products before? I highly recommend them…you can find them at Walmart, they’re inexpensive, the ingredient list is good, and they are always super flavorful! We stayed up and watched Modern Family and Law & Order, then I hit the sack again. I think I was only awake for about 3 hours 🙂
This morning I got up and felt much better, so I thought I’d go in to work. We’re slow this time of year, so I was thinking it would be something I could handle. I made a chocolate + peanut butter GM:
This time rather than using ice cubes I used a small frozen banana, and it was the perfect consistency and didn’t have a lot of added bulk to it. I’m thinking I should start using frozen bananas more often! It felt amazing on my throat too 🙂
I went in to work and then was told that it would probably be best if I went home. I just sound horrible and still don’t feel 100%, so I’m answering emails and working from home today. Plus probably sleeping some more because as it turns out, my getting ready for work routine actually wore me out. Definitely a good idea to stay home again! It’s also supposed to rain all day, which I am really excited about: it means I won’t have to water our yard, and I just love rainy days anyway 🙂 OH! And don’t forget to weigh in on tomorrow’s Marriage Ref Friday!!!
What’s your favorite kind of weather? I love sunny, warm days, but I’m ALWAYS up for some rain! It’s beautiful, peaceful, and, well, kinda sexy 🙂
{ALSO}
Anyone have any new blogs that they found/love? I just found Sprinkle Bakes through How Sweet It Is and I think I’m in love…
I love the Alessi soups! I think I’ve tried them all and keep some in my pantry at all times for those sick days! I found them really cheap at the Christmas Tree Shop…unfortunately when I went back they were all gone! Feel better!!!!!
So sorry you are sick! I hope you feel better soon. Your oats look so delicious they could make anyone feel better!
I love to put frozen bananas in my green smoothies. They add a little sweetness.
I understand how you’re feeling, walkig to class makes me so tired b/c I’m not feeling so hott either 🙁 but I am glad that you are feeling alittle better!
I can’t wait for tomorrow!!! I love Marriage Ref Fridays! 🙂 Hope you feel better soon!
Glad you are feeling better, hope that you are feeling 100% soon!
I love rainy days as long as I don’t have plans outdoors 😀
I like rainy days. They either make me more productive or make me want to curl up with a book under a big blanket.
Glad you’re feeling better!
I have never heard of or seen Alessi products…I’ll have to search for them!
I love when the weather is sunny and 70 degrees 🙂
I hope you feel better soon!!!
Glad that you are getting an extra day of rest. That is important. And how perfect that it is a rainy day to rest and relax with. I love rainy days where I don’t have to do much of anything. 🙂
I LOVE How Sweet, too! She comes up with the most amazin recipes. I wanna be Mr Sweet’s tummy! >.<
Favorite weather is sunny, warm, with a gentle, gentle breeze…
Hope you feel better soon 🙂
I think I might have found a great blog today!

Glad you’re feeling better 😀 I love soup when I’m sick – especially flavorful kinds, cause goodness knows it’s hard to taste anything when you’re sick right?
Hope you continue to feel better!
soup looks awesome! love that there are chunky veggies!
p.s. frozen bananas in smoothies are the best!
I love rain for the same reason…less yard work! Feel better
So glad you’re feeling a little better! You’ll be back to 100% before you know it.
Screw rain– I LOVE SUN!!! 🙂
sorry to hear you are not feeling well. hope you feel better soon
I have not tried hot quinoa cereal yet.. on the list 🙂
Hope you start to feel 100% soon! I’m with you – I love sunny, warm days, but there’s something to be said about a rainy Saturday when you just sit around and watch movies all day, and don’t feel guilty about it 🙂
Glad you’re feeling a bit better 🙂
I love sunny days, but not too hot! I really dislike rain though, most of the time.
I prefer sunny days. They make me happy. 75 degrees is the perfect temp too.
I love sunny, slightly warm days. I really love fall, though – when it is slightly cloudy. I also like a good rain, too!
Good to hear you are feeling better! I have found so many great blogs recently that I will not even try to name them all.
I love about 65 degrees, sunny, and low humidity… perfect for running!
glad you’re feeling a little better! take care of yourself and get lots of rest. 🙂
I’m sorry you’re sick! I just got over a bug myself, so I really sympathize 🙁 At least you still have an appetite…that is always a good sign! (Uh, at least that’s what I told myself last week when I ate cereal and toast at every meal.)
I have only watched The Marriage Ref once and wasn’t impressed. Do I need to give it another chance?
I hope you get well soon, girl!
Delicious eats, though 😉
Have a great day!
Brazilian XOXO´s,
Gabriela
