Mooooosley....

Seriously, the best word ever, no??  I couldn't stop saying it all...well, I STILL haven't stopped saying it;)  (Much to Scott's SUPREME delight!)  But these Muesli (MOOOSELY!) Parfaits were sooo good!  I've been wanting to try 'overnight oats' for awhile, and when I found this recipe flipping through my Ellie Krieger cookbook: I was signed, sealed, delivered! :)  And aren't they oh-so-pretty???
I topped mine with some awessommme strawberries and toasted almonds and Scott had his with blueberries.  (And, as you can imagine, I'm SURE Scott always dreamed of the morning he would wake up to be eating OVERNIGHT OATMEAL out of wine glasses for breakfast ;)  ahhhh..he LOVES marriage ;) hahahahahahhahahahhahaha

Lunch was a Sugar Free Vanilla Carnation Instant Breakfast with Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Breeze and a Banana Bread Lara Bar  (soooooooooooooooo good!  You were right, Aim!)  But an hour and a half later, I was STARVING!!!!!!!!!!!!  And I was only salvaged by this lovely apple and a tablespoon of almond butter.  HIT. THE. SPOT!

For dinner, we decided to make a steak stir fry and it became quite a production, as we had DUELING sides of the cutting board chip-chopping away....

To create these two mountains of vegetables!  How pretty are these??!!!
We had:
  • Red & Yellow Peppers
  • Broccoli
  • Bean Sprouts
  • Celery
  • Snow Peas
  • Carrots
Scott (being the resident stir fry master) sauteed the steak strips with the onions for a few minutes.  Then added allllll of those beautiful veggies, and let it cook up with this DELICIOUS (and very appropriate for our household) sauce:

He let everything cook together for about 10-15 minutes, and I was so surprised when I lifted the lid of the pan and found the most PERFECT looking steak stir fry! 
Those mounds of veggies sauteed down perfectly and mixed so well with the garlic sauce and the brown rice.  This was a total winner and a good way to sneak in a bunch of different colored vegetables!  The perfect way to end a weekend as far as I'm concerned!

And look at that...it's already Tuesday;) hahahahahahhaha....Hope you have a good day!  It is getting H-O-T in NJ!  (AND HUMID!  My hair won't be right until October! :)
