Hey Hey Friends! Welcome to the middle of the week! 
Did we all survive Halloween weekend? We actually weren’t home during trick or treating in our neighborhood, so I didn’t even buy any candy this year. I’m still trying to decide if that was a good idea or a bad idea. On one hand, I’m relieved that there isn’t a huge bowl of candy sitting in my kitchen for me snack on. On the other hand, I could really go for a Snickers right now. Oh, the tough parts of life.
For breakfast, I had one of my two staples….a bowl of Frosted Mini-Wheats. I am going to use a recycled picture because I’m pretty sure it looks no different than it did last week…except that I think I packed more in my bowl this time. I was hungry!
Paired with my frosted gems, I had a mango smoothie that I picked up on my way to work. The coffee shop on my way to work makes the best mango smoothies. I very rarely have time to stop anywhere on my way to work in the morning, but when I do, I take full advantage of my extra time!
For lunch, I had a whole wheat tortilla covered in melted cheese and salsa. Along with that, I had a bowl of cottage cheese and an apple. This apple was lovingly given to me by my grandmother. I think that made it one of the best apples I’ve ever eaten.
My dinner was pretty much fantastic. You know what made it so fantastic?
#1. It was lasagna. Pasta = Happy Kelly
#2. My police officer made it for me. No Fuss Dinner = Happy Kelly
I have to say…he did a pretty amazing job!
I finished up my day of eats by finishing off a box of animal crackers. Every time I eat these, which is like once a year, I am reminded that they are the best things ever!
My late night drink was a strawberry smoothie.
- frozen strawberries
- frozen peaches
- strawberry-banana yogurt
- vanilla almond milk
Simple ingredients…awesome flavor!
There we go! My day of eats and my day of smoothies! If you didn’t get enough smoothies from me, I’m sure there are a ton over on Peas and Crayons…so go and check them out!
Do you find yourself eating the same things over and over?
Do you have a favorite smoothie?
I don’t do smoothies often enough. I really need to. Your home made one looks as good as the store bought one. You’ve inspired me, Kelly!
Animal crackers are awesome!
One box never last too long…
Yes! Day after day I eat peanut butter!! but still not sick of ‘em!
That’s so cute about the apple. Food associated with love definitely makes it taste better. Do animal crackers really contain calcium?? wow. They taste quite good though. So who cares? Not bad for you….
Smoothies are amazing. I love putting greens in mine, and I’m a huge fan of any smoothie. I just tried one with Arctic zero and it made much better of a smoothie than it was as an “ice cream” win on that front.
I can eat squash over and over. Hence that I like it.
I rarely drink smoothies…maybe it is a mental thing but I never feel like they completely fill me up.
Mango smoothie sounds like HEAVEN! I’ve actually never made just a mango smoothie. I don’t know why not, mango is my fave.

I need to break out the blender and make some more smoothies! Perfect for breakfast and snacks!
We bought candy and only ended up having ONE trick-or-treater, so I’m left with a tempting bag of tootsie pops. Oy.
Pasta equals a happy me, too!
I love mango smoothies, and peanut butter/chocolate/banana!
UHMMM!! That lasagna looks AMAZING!!!
I am definitely making lasagna soon. o.O
mmmmm mango smoothie. That looks incredible! I eat the same thing over and over… and it’s almost always smoothies haha
You know what else is fantastic?
Those animal crackers DIPPED in pudding. Just saying. It’s like old school dunkaroos
Yum!!!
Yes, I tend to eat the same things over and over, but in different ways. I do what I can
Yummy eats! I love frosted mini wheats, they were my FAVORITE when I was younger! I still love them
