Comfort Food

<p>We’re half way to Friday!! Hooray!!</p> <p>Kyle left for work early today which meant we had to drive separately. For some reason when we don’t ride together I don’t get out the door as early as I should! Today that resulted in cold cereal breakfast at my desk! I had <strong>1c Crispix</strong>, <strong>1 small sliced banana</strong>, and <strong>1c skim milk</strong> for <strong>5 points</strong>. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjB8V2mtxfvdwpdo4qTf78ydBxPaN6vTpYOTXCjgERHohLmj8bbZe0rSYJmYGeox-bP97rUV1PtPMgXwbekFiVo4coefz7hmLqYp3M1JIrM3hLthJhPdE0ocS4heqS-uvCIOsL9DMCC5caE/s1600-h/DSC08908%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC08908" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQBMx2YQT8ctv481spLg-6eo7_KV9POLRYasLBxsTgOWK3yZwR6WZNzofwxIybI7e0Lv1wNEcZGhyawcWbi4JY6q-RWXjUcaa-h8AIhBM-F7YP8yPxNM7Z0pXIrWPx78ylNnzzU8fBRlZu/?imgmax=800" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-bottom: 0px" title="DSC08908" width="404"></a></p> <p>Two of my staff called in sick today so that only left 3 of us in the office! Good thing it was a bit of a slower day! We survived!! :)</p> <p>However I didn’t get to go home for lunch until about 2:30pm. For one I couldn’t believe it was already that time and I wasn’t starving! I made a childhood favorite of mine, mac n cheese…but much healthier! I had <strong>2oz whole wheat pasta</strong>, <strong>zucchini</strong>, and the <strong>cheese sauce</strong> was made from<strong> light Velveeta</strong> & a sprinkle of water for a total of <strong>5 points</strong>. Mmmm good!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaW3fPbcMkGA2A1wGIV964qtj1ZNUh-R5NIGutxHjCF9z10aG2sejVCafT4hCGtExx58PhxbCm6AalVjivJvN8hwi4oit3QfhgOd0P6oT4MY5ASf8CqhrIKdRqIGF5THm6V5UyRVgoQHe4/s1600-h/DSC08909%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC08909" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKAPGGKUw6FiIuZWqUwlV-bpj0N_gP-TQRVnB3a7dw4tm3rGlxvX_qTJsHDykTUeclYIADS-L7unw9mQMovkgItwvCzf1yIAHrMp2oaZqu-8h_9xdS91xgP9WCUabOQLxdQ2PbATMz80VO/?imgmax=800" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-bottom: 0px" title="DSC08909" width="404"></a></p> <p>After work I stopped quick at our local farmers market! I had a plan in mind…more on that another day!!!
