Tomato Onion Pizza Lunch

Quick lunch of caramelized onions and fresh tomatoes w/peppered Havarti on a ready-made pizza crust.  The salad was alfalfa sprouts, avocado, and tomatoes w/vinaigrette dressing.  Tastier than I ever expected.

ExperimenTEA-ing

In an attempt to try something new, I went to a tea lounge a friend mentioned. Now everyone knows I'm down with tea and would drink it for water if I could so I saw the name and was all over this.  Well, I liked the look of the place but probably wouldn't be somewhere I would hang out.  Because I wasn't sure about the selection, I thought I would go for broke and try something I've never heard of.  Dried Plum.  Well, Lemon Dried Plum Green Tea.  I opted out of the tapioca balls and the jellies.  The drink looked pretty but the flavor was a bit much for me.  Tasted a bit like potpourri but wasn't so bad that I didn't keep sipping it.  I was trying to determine if I liked it or not.  I froze the remaineder and drank the rest today before the plum in the bottom could thaw.  It was better and not as strong.  I will try the place again but maybe try a flavor that I'm more familiar with to try and determine if they make a decent cup.

I also sampled the Chrysanthemum tea.  It was OK after sitting a while.  Slight lemony, sweet flavor. Very light. I liked it but have had better.  Also tried the Dim Sum.  It was pretty good and I will definitely be going back to try something new. 

I believe it was a successful week for trying new things.

Jello Goodness

I'm trying to get reacquainted with jelled dessert.  I found a box of pineapple jello in the pantry.  I don't know how long it's been there but I'm sure it's been well over a year. The stuff last forever!  Sounds like my kind of treat.  I made it. It was good. I'll probably try it again.

Great Granola!

I finally got a granola recipe that I like. Now, the trick is trying to remember what I did and how I did it! This one has oats,cranberries, sliced almonds, sunflower seed, chia seeds, flax, wheat germ, applesauce, sugar, and vanilla. I think....

I'll try it again and actually document everything but for now, we will just enjoy it with our yogurt or just to snack on. 

Friday Breakfast

This Friday we decided to do a Saturday-style breakfast since we will be away for the weekend. 

Egg white omelet w/peas, tomatoes, peppers

Crescent rolls

Add some Earl Grey and OJ and it's as good as gone!

Happy Friday!
