Thanks for all the great shoe advice! Looks like these sweet kicks will get their last hurrah on Sunday. It’s only right to give them a chance to race after all their hard work. I knew you wouldn’t steer me wrong! That’s one of the great things about blogging!
I needed break last night…so I took one. It’s taper time, after all. I soaked in epsom salts, did some work, and watched the Housewives duke it out. It was perfect. I love to just sit back and watch the drama, keeping it at a safe distance!

Friday breakfast time! It’s another good one – apple cinnamon oatcake.
This was a problem solver’s breakfast. The problem: bad apples. I bought a batch earlier in the week and they were just plain nasty! I bit into one yesterday and it was bruised, mushy, and mealy inside. Apples should be crisp and juicy, never mushy or mealy. I couldn’t let all those apples go to waste. The solution: heat ‘em up.
The cinnamon apples:
- Chop one apple into bite -sized chunks.
- Sprinkle with cinnamon and 1 tsp. of brown sugar.
- Microwave for 2 minutes, stirring once.
The apples got soft and syrupy sweet. They made the perfect topping for a basic oatmeal pancake.
The oatmeal pancake:
- 1/3 c. quick oats
- 1/3 c. egg whites
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- sprinkle of cinnamon
Combine the above ingredients, pour batter onto a non-stick griddle and cook it up. Top the pancake with the apples and you have one tasty breakfast! I added a dollop of almond butter to my plate for some protein and healthy fats. How satisfying!
I think a Fun Friday is in order!
Do you do anything special to celebrate the end of the week? You know I love to make a nice breakfast on Friday, but I never complain about a nice dinner out either.
