Blogging, Breakfast, and Meal Planning.

Well, it's Monday, and I find myself playing catch up today! Got up, made kiddo breakfast, packed his lunch for lunch bunch, and hurried off to school.

I decided to come back home, and get my ducks in a row this morning. Besides, I needed more coffee, and had not eaten breakfast. While I was checking email, making my list for today, having breakfast, and trying to figure out my meal plan this week, it occurred to me that #1- I am a crazy multi-tasker, and #2- This would make a good post for a Monday. I KNOW that I am not the only one running around like a chicken with my head cut off on this (or any other) Monday!!

Here's what my Morning looks like right now...

 I like to sit at my kitchen island to blog. (And have breakfast, and make lists, and plan dinners!) :-)

 I am looking through some of my favorite cookbooks. The World Kitchen -William Sonoma, Clean Start -Terry Walters, and If it Makes You Healthy- Sheryl Crow & Chuck White. I like to eat clean and organic, and have done so since my Cancer diagnosis almost 3 years ago.

My breakfast today is greek non-fat yogurt, sprinkled with organic raw pecans, organic dried cranberries, some Trader Joes Maple Pecan Granola, with unsweetend organic coconut added, and a drizzle of local sage flower honey. I know it may sound ca-ray-zay, but it is DELISH!

 I also made a blueberry, peach, banana, pomegranate juice smoothie for the little guy this morning, so I made extra for me. (Organic as well.) Um, and COFFEE!!! Can't give it up! No. way. no. how.

 So far, I just have tonight's salad figured out...
 Here are pics of the books I am referencing today.
 And now, I'm off to run errands, and hopefully fit in a work out before picking up my son! It's hat day today for SURE!
 Have a great day! I have lots of fun posts planned this week! Stop back again tomorrow!

    1. Glad to hear there are others out there like me! Before my son came along, my mornings were so leisurely! Ha! But, I would not trade back for anything.
      I am definitely more behind than normal today though! That's what I get for being such a slacker yesterday! :-)

  2. It was definitely a Monday! Alarm went off, went to walk daughter, daughter couldn't talk (still sick) okay, back to bed, back up, call doctor, get things in order and head to doctor, possible flu? Who knows, but this is going on 3 weeks of her being sick on and off. Poor kid. We are a big fan of yogurt parfaits at our home. And we too eat mostly organic, after her migraine diagnosis. I did manage to make a very yummy crustless quiche after getting back home. I meal plan and shop on Sunday evening, makes my Monday's a bit better!!

    1. Aww...I hope your daughter feels better soon! That crustless quiche sounds great! You should post the recipe on your blog ! Is it meatless? I was thinking of doing Meatless Monday link party...if I ever get on the ball, and figure out how to get a button. I love sharing good recipes! I also want to do some type of DIY or home dec linky party...I am so tech challenged!
