Oh yeah! Time again for What I Ate Wednesday!
My day typically starts at 4:45, my alarm goes off and I get right out of bed. I never snooze because that just keeps waking Seamus up (who doesn’t wake up until around 6), and that’s not really fair. He doesn’t need to adopt my lifestyle of getting up super early. Anyway, I always have my coffee set to start brewing at 4:40, so that by the time I’m rolling out of bed, using the bathroom and making Emmett’s sippys for school, it’s done brewing. That first cup tastes like liquid gold!
I won one of those Starbucks reusable mugs from a drawing at work and I’ve been using it at home. I love it because it keeps my coffee pretty warm (but also not scalding) and also is a Starbucks mug (yes, I drank the Kool-aid). I love Starbucks! My coffee of choice is Trader Joe’s Fair Trade French Roast, it is dark and rich and really really good. I recommend adding just a splash of whole milk (thanks Emmett!) or half & half. Yum!
Breakfast was my typical Egg McSeamus, an english muffin, 1 egg and a slice of American cheese. Yum! I also had another delicious cup of coffee when I got settled at my desk. I love coffee!!
Lunch was my usual, delicious salad. Romaine lettuce, topped with blue cheese crumbles, sunflower seeds, Krakus ham and oven roasted turkey and then drizzled with Ken’s Lite Honey Mustard. Mmmmm
And WAY too many of these, Trader Joe’s dark chocolate caramels.
Dinner was grilled chicken and sauteed zucchini. Problem was, I rrrrrreally didn’t want grilled chicken so I made myself a chicken sandwich, and voila, dinner was saved for me.
Thanks for hosting, Jenn! Be sure to stop over to Peas and Crayons and link-up.
I can’t believe you get up at 4:45! I’m such a night owl and even when one of my babies cries at 5am I pull them into bed with me and sleep until at LEAST 6 😉 Despite my love of sleep though, I am completely on your side with the coffee train – I LOVE it and make Hubs brew it at 1/2 – 3/4 caff so I can have at least 2 cups without getting the jitters!
I used to LOVE staying up late but ever since having Emmett, I tend to concentrate better in the mornings than at night. So now I try to get to bed at 10:30 and just wake up early. It’s been working pretty well!! Coffee is the best!! Thanks for stopping by, Casey!
