Grandma's Eggs

Perhaps the best thing about not having to rush off in the morning is getting to enjoy a nice relaxing breakfast.  This morning I decided on eggs over easy and whole wheat toast.  This always makes me think of my grandma because she would make it every single time that I would sleep over.  Mine still are never as good as hers.  Why is that?

I had to go to school for a while today so I snacked on an orange, an apple and a Fiber One bar.  When I got home I had some everything pretzels from TJ's.  They are delicious!  (And addicting, so be careful!)

I wasn't too hungry for dinner because of my excessive pretzel snacking but I did end up eating so I wouldn't get hungry in class.  I had tilapia, brown rice and a spinach salad with cheese, a tomato, balsamic vinegar, olive oil and a dash of dill.  It was a good salad but not great.

After class I snacked on a grapefruit.  They are so yummy!

Off to relax so I can go to a nutrition care process seminar tomorrow, ay yay yay....

Night in Royal Oak...

Keith, my mom and headed down to Royal Oak, MI for the evening on Saturday.  (My dad and brother were working so couldn't join.)  Keith and I had plans to walk around downtown but they were quickly changed when I wasn't dressed warm enough for the weather.  (22 years here and I still don't know how to dress in the winter, woops!)  We stopped in a cute little place called the Bean and Leaf cafe and had tea for two!  MMM!

The barista suggested we try chamomile and peppermint mixed which turned out to be absolutely delicious!  (You can see we enjoyed our tea while relaxing and enjoying the newspaper and a magazine.)

After warming up with some delicious tea we headed to Lily's Seafood Grill and Brewery (on Dad's suggestion.)  I loved the atmosphere and the food was delicious!  I started off with a ginger miso salad (which wasn't exactly like a ginger salad from a sushi restaurant like the waitress had promised but good none the less.)  They also started us off with some balsamic wheat rolls and sweet butter.

Mom got the fish n' chips fried in their own beer!  Served with sweet potato fries, cole slaw and a cajun ketchup!

Keith chose the salmon reuben on rye swirl bread, which was another delicious choice!  Also served with sweet potato fries and a pickle (mmm, my fav!)

I chose the special, Pan Seared Sole topped with spinach, red peppers (which I had to take off, ick) zucchini, tomatoes, gnocchi, cranberries and a buttery cream sauce.  Served with my favvvvvvvorite, ASPARAGUS!  YUMM!

A great evening overall!  Can't wait to go back and try the beer!
