Cooler weather sure came in this last week. It’s still hard to grasp that we are a week into October already. And almost to the end of a decade! I kind of forgot that this year is the last “teen” of the 2010s.
People are fall decorating around here.
Us, too:
That bare patch is where I dug up a plant to move to a different location. Hope it lives 😀
Downtown has planted a lot of fall flowers, fun to see on walks:
I finally won football picks for the first time this season, so I got to choose our meal out. I went with Comfort Kitchen, which is almost like a little hole in the wall on the lower level of a building with a bunch of shops, but the food is sooooo good. I got the tortelloni with a butternut squash cream and sage dressing:
This was delicious! A smaller portion, which is a little unusual for them because their mac and cheese (also amazing) is two meals worth. This is one of those dishes that you count points/calories for just doing the best you can.
Back to my regular eating on Monday, which was:
Protein pancake/waffles topped with sauteed peaches:
The waffles are just 1 egg, 1/3 cup rolled oats, 1/3 cup cottage cheese, cinnamon and 1/2 tsp of baking powder blended up into batter. You can do pancakes or waffles. This plate is 5 points – 4 for the waffles and 1 point for the brown sugar added to the peaches.
Quick Monday lunch of an open face egg sandwich with cheese.
Monday was rainy all day, which meant that I did a gym workout post lunch:
I’m still working on getting my strength back to where it was. I feel like I have really plateaued in strength and in my biking after making good progress right after my surgery restrictions were lifted.
My afternoon latte was made with cashew milk just for something different. It’s super foamy!
Topped with chocolate sauce John made. For a nut milk, I like cashew milk the best, but for lattes it really needs to just be regular milk LOL.
A staple for us on Monday nights is soup because that is normally a busy day for us and we just want something quick and simple.
Progresso tomato soup with added ravioli:
This is always warming and filling on a cooler day.
Unpictured nuts and a chocolate for other snacks. I hope to do a weight checkin on Wednesday or Thursday to keep myself accountable.
Welp, I can understand why they call that place Comfort Kitchen – every single dish you described sounds marvelous.
I have a recipe for a super easy tomato soup with spinach and tortellini (you could sub ravioli, I’m sure). If you want it let me know and I’ll email it to you.
We have a Nor’Easter today and tomorrow! Actually lots of rain until Saturday so I’m sure that means you’re getting it too. We are almost just right for foliage so I’m hoping the winds don’t blow it all down.
If you get up here for a visit, I will take you there. It’s so good!
Afternoon latte! Haven’t seen one of those in a while!
That latte looks delicious! We are having surprisingly nice fall weather out here too!
