Garden 1 Week (well, almost...)

I won't be around to post this weekend but wanted to post a garden update before leaving tomorrow...It is amazing what can happen in 6 days!!!

 At first glance, the plants all look healthy and a bit bigger...

and then when you look closer....

 there are itty-bitty baby tomatoes !

 And the green beans are starting to poke up...

 along with their trellis-mates the sugar peas.

 Even the spinach is poking up to say hi!

The little blue gnome and the garden fairies are doing great so far! I think I'm going to enjoy this little garden.

Wednesday Recipe

This week in keeping with the trying to work out and eat healthier theme I have decided to share a recipe that has become a breakfast staple for me. The great things about this recipe is that you make it ahead and can vary it in so many ways...

Basic Overnight Oats
1/2 cup Oats (not instant or quick cook, I prefer Country Choice Multi Grain Hot Cereal from Trader Joe's)
1 cup Vanilla Almond Milk

Combine the oats and almond milk in a covered bowl and place in the fridge overnight. Add desired mix-ins and enjoy!

The basic recipe has 220 calories, 3.5 grams of fat, 45 grams of carbs, 6 grams of fiber and 6 grams of protein.

Some of my favorite mix-ins are:
1/2 banana
blueberries
1 tbsp nut butter
fruited Greek yogurt
cinnamon
vanilla extract

Hope you enjoy!

5 Favorite Pics from Falls Park

Last Thursday I had the pleasure of spending the evening at Falls Park with my camera. It was a beautiful day with great company (Thanks Aunt Linda!) and I hope you enjoy a few of my favorite pics from the day!

It was a great day in the park and I am looking forward to going back soon!
