I'm going to miss the berries

I've eaten more berries in the past few weeks than I have in the past few years combined.  Oh, so yummy. 

This is been my standard breakfast for at least a month now. Berries (raspberries or blue), Kashi Go Lean Crunch or granola, vanilla greek yogurt, and flax seed and chia seed.  But I think it may be time to try something else.  This just seems like such a summer dish.  I've yet to make the kasha, so I'm still planning on trying that.  I just HATE oatmeal, so I don't think the odds are too good. 

Since it was raining last night, the evening walk with Isobel had to be postponed.  We'll try again tonight.  Off to do weight training in just a minute.

Whole Foods Friday! Jackfruit! Green Monsters!

I've gotten in the habit of going to WF on Fridays during lunch. I love to just go and roam around by myself.  And I didn't have anything prepared for lunch today, so I'm excited to try out the cold bar. 

I'm going to get some grains to make Uncle's John's Kasha (don't you just love Rebecca's mom?)  As much as I love my greek yogurt and flax/chia seed breakfast, I need to try somthing else.  I've tried and tried to like oatmeal, but ugh.  I love eggs for breakfast too, but they are way too convenient for weeknight dinners, so I'd like to keep them as a dinner option. 

I need to plan some meals for this weekend.  I still have that summer squash to cook.  Chad bought a whole bunch of tenderloin at the international supermarket yesterday ($4.99/lb!), so I know he'll want to cook that up.  And we bought this!
It's a jackfruit.  I think I will actually have to cook it to eat it, but hey, I thought the kids would think it was fun.

Speaking of the kids, I need to get some spinach tonight for green monsters.  Fridays are now Movie & Monsters night.  It was Movie & Pizza night, but they love GMs and they're healthier than pizza.  I just need to find some wide straws so the kids can have cups with lids - we always put blueberries in our GMs and those buggers will stain. 

I haven't worked out or run since Tuesday, so I'm going to to some weight training this afternoon and hopefully a run in the morning.
