wiaw: delayed school edition

monday was so glorious - we had a two hour delay because of frozen rain. i'm glad we had the delay because it looked like the roads were awful when i woke up and started watching the news around 5:15 but by the time i got out there (at 8:00....oh to leave for work at 8 everyday...) they were just rainy and totally safe. thanks dc public schools, i appreciate you! my eats for the day weren't that out of the norm since it was still a work day, but it did include some early am baking that led to some additions to my breakfast. if you're new to wiaw, head on over to jenn's blog and see what it's all about!

breakfast {5:15} - i had my breakfast before i knew that we had a delay. school didn't call until around 6 so instead of sleeping in like most people might given a delay, i just had a lot of extra time in the morning. last week i was sleeping later and taking overnight oats in for breakfast to eat at school. i liked the extra sleep but not as much as i like slowly sipping my coffee and spending an hour in the morning reading blogs and hanging out with alton brown, so the early wakeup call is back but the overnight oats haven't left. i forgot how much i loved these. in my mix sunday night went 1/2 a cup of old fashioned oats, greek yogurt and almond milk with 2 T of pb2 and some stevia. in the morning i topped it with crushed up puffins and a heaping spoonful of mighty maple peanut butter. i am really close to being done with that jar of pb so i think some overnight oats in a jar are on the docket for later this week. yum. any excuse to eat more peanut butter. i also had a big ass anjou pear on the side which didn't make it into the pic. clearly sweet breakfasts are back in business over here at heart, sole & cereal. it was nice while it lasted, savory eggs.

breakfast dessert {7:15} - since i had a lot of time in the morning i decided to bake some cookies. extra sleep? who needs it. chocolate chip cookies? i need them. i baked them so i HAD to try them, that's just like a rule. a few of them to be exact. i think dessert after breakfast might need to become a thing. 

morning snack {10:30} - i had a bunch of baby carrots for a snack. i forgot to bring hummus to dip them into but i wasn't that hungry since i ate a bunch of cookies so the plain carrots were fine and i pretty much just had them because one of my goals for bootcamp is extra servings of veggies. 

lunch {12:45} - same salad i've been rocking for a while now - recycled pic. obviously i didn't have lunch at home. feta, chickpeas, grapes and hummus dressing. veggie sticks and a mandarin orange sparkling water on the side. i have been SHOCKED and PLEASED to discover how many of my students recognize the veggie sticks. though i know that they're basically just another version of potato chips with some spinach powder in them to make them green, at least their parents are trying to make healthier choices at the grocery store! exciting development when i am usually surprised by how many cheetos they can eat in one sitting. speaking of cheetos, i also had a handful of hot cheetos from one of my kids. i traded her a few veggie sticks for them. throwing myself on the sword, people. 

afternoon snack {4:30} - i was headed home and had this luna bar in the car while i drove. i was debating going to the gym but after my 16 mile weekend i decided to give my legs a rest on monday instead of thursday. it was great to head to the grocery store and get home in time to make some dinner and eat at a normal hour. resting on monday could become a thing - starts the week off right, especially considering i'm usually making a bigger dinner to have leftovers on hand for the week. 

dinner {7:30} - for dinner i went with inside out stuffed jalapeño turkey burgers from dashing dish (she uses chicken but my grocery store doesn't sell ground chicken without rib meat mixed in so i went with ground turkey) and i roasted some idaho potato wedges on the side. i love a sweet potato but there's nothing like your basic white potato wedges. 

i also sauteed a bunch of baby bella mushrooms and cut up a few roma tomatoes to have on the side. i topped my burger with extra jalapenos, covered my wedges in cholula and had a spicy good time while i ate. 

dessert {8:45} - it was a dessert-ful day monday. gingerbread cookie shake (also from dashing dish) which i actually ate in bed while completing my other best body bootcamp goal for the week...

i ended up sleeping really well monday night so i'm calling the whole reading thing a success.

how have your eats been this week?
