Easter Morning

 

dsc07300.JPG

Happy Easter everyone! I had another go-around with Banana Baked Oatmeal this morning. It was delicious again! I made a few changes – used a mashed banana instead of applesauce, left out the brown sugar in the batter, added a pinch of salt, and baked it in a pie dish. It didn’t cook as well in the pie dish (the metal baking tin was more of a heat conductor) and was hard to get out without the parchment method, but it still tasted great!

I used the pie dish for a prettier presentation, but I think I’ll go back to metal tin/parchment next time.

Also had a latte!

And had my oatmeal with a spoonful of almond butter –

Breakfast was about 390 kcal, 6 grams fiber and 16 grams protein.

Easter Sunday

Because last night was such a celebration of food + drink, our plans for a fancy Easter lunch have turned into a simple ham dinner. I have been debating all week whether or not to bake.

Here’s what I made last Easter inspired by our upcoming wedding cake flavors:

French Vanilla Cake with Raspberry Chambord Filling and Vanilla Buttercream

This year I was planning a pear tart, but I have had so many desserts lately that I kind of lost desire to bake. So we’re putting our efforts into dinner instead. Kind of anticlimactic, but it does make for a more relaxing day of studying and gardening 🙂

I’m off with a new magazine to take an hour-long power walk. I’m not up for running today, but I want to get some fresh air and my heart pumping a bit.

Then I’m off to the grocery store.

Then it’s Stats and Chemistry – back to real life tomorrow.

    Happy Easter Kath!!

    Hey everyone, I’ve been eating way too much junk sugary food lately, and I’ve decided to go without sugar (obvious sugary treats, chocolate, candy, soda… ) for two weeks and hopefully make my body feel better. Does anybody want to do this with me?? We could have a little online discussion… updates…

    If not, does anyone have tips for snacks??

    I’ve lost like 15 pounds, but due to all of this late night sugar snacking I’ve gained 5 of them back… I want it to stop!

    Happy Easter! That french vanilla cake looks awesome! Drool. . . I have been in a baking frenzy and baking simple cakes every week so I really should cool it or will have to eat cake everyday. But that is a happy penance I will gladly serve.

    Btw, you look really cute holding the cake. That’s a really nice pic:0

    Happy Easter, Kath!!! Your day sounds so nice and relaxing–can’t wait to see your simple dinner with the hubby! My family is just having a big lunch and then just eating leftovers for dinner and I baked a coconut cake!

    “Hoppy” Easter, everyone! 🙂
    I’m on vacation with my family in Florida, so I’m headed out to the beach and gonna start “Eat, Pray, Love” finally! What a wonderful way to spend Easter!
    Hope everyone enjoys the holiday and the treats the Easter bunny brought!

    I wondered about the church thing too. It is wonderful to remember what Easter is actually about. And it’s not candy and easter eggs.

    I think I’d walk at a snail’s pace if I was reading. My parents are making lamb for dinner tonight, the concept scares me, but is lamb healthy?

    That baked oatmeal looks SO good. I definitely have to make that asap. And, I have to ask, have you ever run in to anything while you walk with your magazine? Because I’m sure I would be an accident waiting too happen if I tried. Enjoy your dinner!

    I too commend the walking with a magazine, I would def. walk into a tree or a parked car!

    Re. Easter,
    We are not religious, but I love everything about holidays – the music, the meals, the traditions, the rituals, the history. Any reason to celebrate whatever you feel like celebrating! We do go to the church I grew up in when I visit my parents on Easter and Christmas.

    Patricia ,
    Sounds like a good challenge! Congrats on your 15 pounds! I’m not sure I have a good reason to go dessert/treat free completely, but I’m with you to cut back this week after to many desserts this past week!

    jenna ,
    Please email me some of that pink icing!! Yum!

    Re. Magazine Walks,
    Emily, You just use peripheral vision! Robin, Yes, I get hit in the head with branches sometime and have stumbled on a sidewalk crack, but it’s really not that hard and makes a walk so fun! Julie, My dad invented it – he’s known in his small town as “the man who walks with a magazine.” He does like 6 miles a day too!

    koootz ,
    I’m not sure of all the details of lamb’s nutrition panel off the top of my head, but I eat lamb in small portions. Just have a deck of cards-sized portion and fill up on veggies and sides.

    Susa ,
    I made the cake last year – I don’t think I even have the recipe anymore! It was a very basic vanilla cake with a very basic icing. For the filling, I just added raspberry preserves and chambord to some of the icing.
