Those elves at it again....

Well...I knew it wouldn't be long.  It was back to my magically little elves whipping me up some breakfast yesterday morning.J Thanks to Kathy's extensive & superb list of slow cooker steel cut oatmeals, I had to try another one ASAP.  And this time I went with the "Strawberry Shortcake"....

...for BREAKFAST!  Awesome, right??  I topped off the oats with a few (defrosted) strawberries and a little milk to give it that "whipped cream" effectJ Just. so. yum!  I loved the "spring-like" hint of strawberries in the oats, mixed with the fact that it was all natural ingredients = True LoveJ  My little elves just might be put to work AGAIN tonight.J  

For lunch, I cracked open this bad bear:

I was REALLLLLLLLY sceptical on this one because I was NOT in the mood for (extra) tart yogurt....but Chobani has not let me down yet and this was another DELICIOUS flavor....

Added bonus...there are actual pomegranate seeds IN the yogurt!  Did NOT expect that.  Love the added texture....

Along with some sesame almonds and an apple the size of my head, and I was full until dinner.  That yogurt really packs a 'fillling' punch.

And dinner was a pretty simple one.  Tuesday has become "macaroni night" at my house latelyJ

We used the leftover (from the freezer!) gravy from the braciola and it was just. soo. good!  I think I even found a piece of provolone in the mix;)

And even though I am COMPLETELY inlove with my Champagne Pear Vinaigrette, I thought I'd give Scott's Parmesan Ranch dressing a whirl.  I'm usually NOT a fan of "lite ranch" because there is a HEAVY emphasis on the "lite" portion in the taste, but this one was really good.  Plus it was pretty thin, so it didn't feel so heavy & gloppy on the salad  (who wants that???)

Spaghetti & a Bethenny cupcake (which, by the way, also freeze & defrost well!) and we called it a day;)  I didn't even get in my 'usual Tuesday' second work out last night.  I was too beat.  I'm all about doing what you can and last night just was not happenin;)  And I'm A-OK with that:)

Tuesday Morning:  40 minute Bethenny yoga

So who watched American Idol last night?  There were some really great guys in there....annnddddd about 4 that can just be cut right now.  Let's not even kid ourselves.J We'll see how the ladies do tonight!

Have a good Wednesday everyone.  (totally just had to check the calendar to see what day it was.  is that good or bad? ;)
