Water Conservation

IMG_1062

I wanted oatmeal this morning, but decided for the sake of saving time and dishes that I’d just eat up a “dry” breakfast instead. Dry breakfasts are breakfasts that don’t involve using the sink after!!

High Five toast with TJ’s sunflower butter, chia seeds and coconut

IMG_1068

Leftover book club fruit (that I microwaved because it was too cold!)

IMG_1065

And even leftover iced coffee!!

5 minutes to assemble, 5 minutes to eat, 5 minutes saved!

    A quick, satisfying and very yummy looking pre-vacation breakfast! Packing is always the hardest part of a vacation…what to wear, what to wear! Everything always depends on the weather which can be so unpredictable! Luckily our weekend away getaway weather was unbelieveable! Sunny skies everyday for our biking adventures in Niagara-on-the-Lakes wine country!

      I heat up my fruit for my oatmeal a little especially during the winter to produce some yummy juices and to keep the oatmeal from going cold too fast. I grilled some pineapple with our chicken and pepper kabobs last night and need to remember to grill more fruit this summer. Of course, cold fruits are so refreshing especially as the weather gets warmer. Sensitive teeth are no fun.

    How was that watermelon? I still haven’t found a perfect one this season, but I did have some amazing pineapple! It was awesome in a smoothie with cilantro and cinnamon. Mexi-smoothie!

    Good luck packing!

    How do you like the straws you’re using? I’m considering them – but worried about a funky taste?

    Have a great day!

      The taste is neutral. I prefer plastic, but mother earth does not..

      Try glass straws, I have some and they are awesome!! No taste at all, and they are a lot more durable than you could ever imagine. We have four (and I want to buy some more), and they do really well with my 10 year old – who by they way loves the straws, he doesn’t use any other now 🙂

    Just wait until you are trying to pack up all the baby belongings and gear! Enjoy your day, at least you have an ultrasound to look forward to. Your breakfast looks simple and delicious. I usually enjoy the breakfast making process including the cleanup, but I agree that a dry breakfast is the way to go. I make breakfast in shifts, my husband, myself and then my kids and most of them are not dry. Do you do most of your dishes by hand or in the dishwasher? I tend to end up washing a lot of mine by hand partly because the dishwasher would be full all the time!

        May 23, 2012 at 8:13 am

        I tend to wash a lot of things before I put them in the dishwasher rather than just rinse them (a habit I picked up from my grandmother), so I figure I might as well just wash them, dry them and put them away. Or I just go ahead and put them on the table for the next meal or pack lunches for the next day. Dishes and laundry seem to never be completely “done”!

    Are chia seeds like flaxseeds, where you have to grind them up to be able to absorb the omega 3’s?

    Iced coffee sounds good right now, but only if it is decaf! I have been trying not to drink anything with caffeine in it while pregnant, but it can be somewhat difficult at times to only drink water.
