So this is how my day started...


I got up early (for me) and had a healthy breakfast. My usual iced decaf coffee plus fresh strawberries and a boiled egg.

The bodega down the street sells boiled eggs for 50 cents, and I've been buying them when I want a quick, solid snack.

But last night, I was wondering why I'm paying that much for them when I can just boil my own. 50 cents is probably the cheapest thing in the store though, so from that perspective, buying "convenience food" for that price is a steal.

However, why pay more when you don't have to. So I boiled some eggs last night, had one in my salad for dinner and anoterh for breakfast this morning.

Listened to some music and have been having a great day.

However, when I got to work...things changed.

Post to be continued after my meeting! ha!

Just made my own hot yogurt mess


Okay, so I did end up trying Sweet Eats' yogurt mess, my own version however. These are my ingredients: blueberry non-fat Fage Greek yogurt, granola, strawberries and peanut butter.

The idea is great, but for Weight Watchers it's a bit higher in point count than I might normally prefer. However, since I slept in, this ended up being brunch for me. 10 points.

I think I prefer Sweet Eats' version with banana though. And where I went wrong on mine was the blueberry flavored yogurt. Plus this was the fat free version which I don't love. Unflavored 2% would be better, as the sweetened blueberry dominated the meal.

What was awesome however, and what made it a "hot mess" was the peanut butter. Though, I would normally go for a lower fat peanut butter, this was all I could get on short notice. I warmed 2 tbsp in the microwave and poured it on top at the end. YUM! Even better than normal, being a warm sauce.

If I decide to make this again, it'll have to be 2% plain yogurt, 1 tbsp perhaps instead of two of light peanut butter (less points), banana, and then either no cereal to cut the points or I might experiment with other options.

But it was a fun experiment, none-the-less! Below is my finished product...


Thanks for the inspiration Sweet Eats.
