Isn’t Life Wonderful?

As you may have guess, I’m in excellent spirits today.  Probably because I had a wonderful weekend.

Dinner with friends, yoga with my favorite teacher, cooking, baking, and my hair went from this…

To this…

Much better, don’t you think?

I’ve also been chowing down on Smore Oats all weekend too.

So good.  And that reminds me that I need to make some more cinnamon toast crackers.  The “cheese” variety were gone the day after I made them.  And that happened without any help from Joey.

I love when I have time on Saturday to do my grocery shopping — it makes my Sundays so much less hectic!

Joey and I went to dinner at his aunt and uncle’s to celebrate the February/March birthdays in his family (yeah, he has a big family and birthdays have to be celebrated in bulk), so we opted our planned Sunday dinner meal for lunch instead.  For some reason, cooking lunch just seems more fun than cooking dinner.

We made OSG’s Falafel Burgers and I thought they were really really good.  Like one of my favorite bean burgers ever.

I think the key was the sunflower seeds.  That crunch is so nice, plus I’m a big fan of anything that tastes like hummus and these did.

Baked > stove-cooked.

Check out that ricehgolden color.

Served with a pile of kale chips and some sweet potato fries.  And the most important pile of all: ketchup.

I have granola cooling in the kitchen and it smells so good in this apartment.  Recipes and picture to come!

Happy Monday!
