Food: breakfast and snacks

This week I continued exploring new food options. I’m still in love with dumplings. So I had 1-2 almost every morning

one day I had 2 veggie dumplings with homemade soy milk

I haven’t had pancakes in ages so I wonder if I like them or not. On Sunday I used Bob’s Mill’s high fiber pancake mix (1/3 cup), 1 whole egg and 1/4 cup water to make these

I top them with some strawberry preserve and Tj’s european style whole milk yogurt

It was good to try something sweet but I was not obsessed.

One morning after breakfast I had stomach acidity, I thought I might cure it with a bagel with cream cheese. I was wrong… it didn’t cure it and the bagel was not tasty.

I had as afternoon snack fage 2% with a banana. Protein and magnesio are good mood-booster and hunger-killer! 🙂

On Valentine’s day we had plan to eat out at a romantic italian place, but I was so tired after work that I had to cancel it. Fortunately Star gave me some chocolate truffles to compensate the missed-celebration. 🙂

I need more breakfast ideas…. please share with me what you’ve been having lately.

Q: What’s your current favorite breakfast combo?

IT’S HERE!!!

The ring is HERE!!!! 😆 Remember that I sent it back to resize it? After two weeks, it’s finally here in my hand!!!

Okay. It’s still not the perfect size. It’s a little bit loose on my left ring finger, so I tried it in my right finger

it’s okay, but still not perfect because the middle bond in my finger is not big enough, so it might slide out. But it fits perfect in my middle finger.

I know I know… it shouldn’t be used in middle finger…. but I guess I care about its security more than what’s tradition says. 😉

It’s sooooo sparkling and beautiful! i love it!!! 😀

I finished the happiness project and started a new book and look this quote!

how suitable for the occasion and it’s from this book

Because I knew the Fedex man was going to arrive around 9AM, even I was up since 3AM 😯 I couldn’t start working until then. Too much excitement! 😉 While I waited… I had a great breakfast to boost my low key mood because of lack of sleep. I mentioned that I did some baking and here’s the final product.

Applesauce flax muffins:

• 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 cup oat grounded
• 1/2 cup flax meal
• 1/2 cup applesauce
• 2 tbsp honey
• 1/4 cup raisin
• 1/2-1 cup soy milk
• 1 tsp baking powder

Mix and bake for 35 min at 350F.

Served with apricot preserve and soy&corn milk

I finally broke the packed dumpling that I brought from Germany. That’s my favorite Bavarian food! 😀

just boil for 20 min

and it was ready! 🙂

it’s not as good as the fresh ones, but good enough for a lazy day 😉

Work wasn’t productive AT ALL!!! My mind couldn’t figure out ANYTHING!!! (obviously, how can I ask it to work properly if it hasn’t rested for a while). So I called quit very early. For dinner I made POACHED EGGS for the first time!!! 😀 And I’m soooo proud of myself, they came out PERFECT!!!

over a bed of stir-fry veggies and topped with parmesan. Maggie, it’s really good!!! 😀

isn’t it perfect? And it wasn’t hard at all. I was afraid to make an egg soup instead but … well…. I guess I’m a talented chef 😉

and baked kabocha.

I can’t ask for a better meal~~~~

and lastly, let me know show my latest chocolate obsession. Dark chocolate with sea salt and cherry @Germany.

It wasn’t a productive day in term of work, but I guess it was a good one in term of food. 😉
