Amanda’s Good Eats

I had the most amazingly fun day today. First of all, my sister left early this morning with my aunt to go for a long drive down to the central valley. My sis needs a few more driving hours before she can get her license, so they decided to go meet our cousin for lunch.
After [...]

We are getting back into the routine of things at our house after a nice break for Christmas. My sister had horseback riding lessons this morning, so I had the house to myself while I got ready for work.
For breakfast I made oatmeal with a banana (half mixed in, half on top) and a Tbsp. [...]

This morning I had the same breakfast as yesterday because I loved it so much. Sadly these were the very last blueberries in the fridge. I will miss them.

My dad, sister, and I went to the phone store after I ate to fix a couple things. Now we are all fine and dandy. It was [...]

If I don’t post this tonight, I have a feeling I would never get it done, so here it goes… my Christmas Day recap in pics (and a few words).
Presents under the tree!

A DELICIOUS breakfast of Kashi GoLean Crunch (first time trying it – LOVE it), banana, and blueberries.

After present-opening I whipped up a batch [...]

So it’s Christmas Eve Eve and all my Christmas gifts are wrapped and tucked safely away beneath the tree. Time to relax and enjoy the holiday.
Tomorrow morning we’re going to put together cookie plates to take to the neighbors. I’m glad all my baking efforts these past few days will be put to good use. [...]

A few weeks ago, strongandhealthy asked for my (well, my mom’s) chicken piccata recipe, so I am finally getting around to posting it! This recipe makes a lot, so I’m sure you could easily halve it.
Chicken Piccata
Serves 6 to 8
Ingredients:
6 to 8 chicken breast halves, boneless, no skin
1/2 cup flour
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly [...]

As of tonight I’m officially on Christmas vacation. Woot! Work has been soooo stressful these past few weeks that it’s a relief to have a break.
I started out this morning with two of my new Van’s maple waffles with soy yogurt. The waffles were a bit of a disappointment. I couldn’t taste maple at ALL. [...]

On Saturday night for a snack I had a banana bread muffin with some Ensure.

Sunday before church I had one of my favorite breakfasts that I have not had in a very long time: overnight swiss oats made with cinnamon, dates, banana, and soy yogurt. So creamy and good.

For lunch after we got home I [...]
