Breakfast for Dinner

Anyone who knows me, knows I am obsessed with oatmeal. I'll eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner! But I always have "sweet" oatmeal - your traditional breakfast varieties. Up until today, that is! When I first saw this version of "savoury" oatmeal (recipe below), I was a little weary and even a little perturbed. "Why on earth would anyone want to transform the beauty that is oatmeal?", I thought. But hesitantly, I gave it try. And...

...OH EM GEE!!! It was so incredibly delicious! I am going to be making it again, and again, and again. Everything about it was perfect. The caramelized vegetables, the salty cheese, the comforting oatmeal - perfect! Now I'll save "sweet" oatmeal for the morn, and it's savoury counterpart for din! Please give it a try! 

So Ready But So Not

Classes are done! Fieldwork placement is done! All I have to do is study for my ONE exam (which, of course, happens to fall at the end of the exam period) and then it's the holidays! I am so ready to relax, spend time with friends (from near and far!), and break into my advent "streamer" (got to love Target!). Let the countdown begin!

Well, Christmas parties are in full swing, and tonight is no exception. I'm officially done my internship with the Blue Bombers, and tonight also happens to be their staff Christmas party. A great little coincidental send off. The past eight months were an adventure - having both great and not-so-great experiences. But overall, I'm extremely fortunate to have had the opportunity as I met some great people, learned a lot about myself, and took part in a lot of exciting events. I wish them all the best as they prepare for the upcoming season. Go Bombers! xoxo

And on to the fooooood! Here's what I made for lunch. Yes, it's another spinach salad. They're just so freakin' good! 

I Heart My Crazy Spinach Salads

Lately I've been making a lot of salads. They're packed full of nutrients (all depending on what you put into them, of course), they're filling, and they're so easy to prepare. While they are filling, they do not leave you feeling too full. Salads are a great light meal! Especially if you're getting all dressed and going out in the evening. Which is exactly what I am doing tonight - it's Adam's 26th birthday dinner. We're wining and dining at his cousin's restaurant with all of his close friends. It's going to be a great night. He deserves it! :)

Straight To The Point

Either Too Cold Or Too Hot

It's getting cold out. Really cold. And rainy. Not cool. It's only the second day in September, and I was wearing three layers of clothing in the office today. I even had a couple of people walk in and say "wow, it's hot in here!", but I was so chilled. I have the lowest tolerance for cold ever! And the first thing I did when I got home was turn up the thermostat. Wow, I'm so pathetic. Sigh. Goodbye summer, hello winter. 

In another way to warm myself up, I made a comforting, warm quesadilla for supper! (Terrible transition, I know. Shush). Anyway, I needed to use up some vegetables before they went bad, so I stuffed everything into a whole wheat flour tortilla, stuck it on the stove, and created a delicious dish. And, here's all it took:
