What's on your Menu today (Monday) RNYers?

I really want to try Crio Bru.  Do you make yours in a regular coffee maker?  Or do you use a French press?

I use a French Press, and I let it sit in there a long time.  I think the flavor is much richer in the French Press than in a regular coffee maker. 

I do not add sweetener.  I add a little "creamer," which for me is a small amount of organic unsweetened soy milk.  I know a lot of people do not do soy.  I have tried all kinds of things in it--nut milks, regular milks, cream, creamers, etc.  I always go back to unsweetened soy.  It is also good with regular full fat coconut milk, but that adds a lot of calories.  (Makes it really filling though!)

If you are looking to buy online, I think you can get it from Amazon or directly from the Crio Bru web site.

As with coffee, they have different beans from different locations, and each has its own overtones. I like most of the ones they offer, but there is one I don't like.  So I would suggest trying out at least two of their blends, to see if there is one you like best.

I have a neighbor that loves it too.  She likes hers with cream and sugar!  She is not a weight-challenged person like me though.

Good morning,

I had a productive weekend. I cleaned both bedroom's closets and got rid of stuff to goodwill and the trash. Went to church on Sunday and took my friend to couple of stores.

QOTD Im more of a night person. I have to set an alarm to get up early if i have to be somewhere. Like today, my alarm went off at 8 am and i hit snooze couple of times and shut it off, didnt get up till 10:30 am. At least i didnt have any plans. It just throws off my meal schedule because I had to have my coffee this morning.

B egg whites with spinach,  red pepper,  ham and cheese omelet and string cheese 

L cheesy chicken chili and green beans

D pork loin and beets 

S Greek yogurt,  turkey sausage snack sticks and cutie orange

I put on my new SIZE 14 black jeans this morning.  I may still not have hit one-derland but my jeans are showing my new figure, which is so one-derful.

Way to go on the jeans!!!

Morning! Still morning here, barely. Quiet day at home today doing a full day of school with everyone and trying to catch up on house stuff...way behind there. Pretty nice weather here today, and tomorrow it is supposed to be in the 60s I think?? Son has basketball tonight but dh is taking him, so I am happy to have a day at home doing All The Things.

I used to be a night person. So much so that I worked night shift as a nurse. :) Something has changed as I've gotten older though. I am Donedonedone by 10pm, and I wake up no later than 6:30 or so even if I stayed up too late the night before. I just can't sleep in. I remember being able to sleep in really late if no one woke me up! lol. 

Breakfast- a hard boiled egg, two thin slices of deli turkey with a slice of pepperjack cheese. Coffee and milk.

Lunch- buffalo chicken salad

Dinner- Cooking for California today! :) We are making BLATs (bacon, lettuce, avocado, and tomato sandwiches), having strawberries with them. I will just have the bacon and veg, maybe a couple of strawberries. 

Snack- greek yogurt 

Good morning Menu Crew. Day 11.

QOTD: I'm an in between person as well  I don't like to sleep later than 8, 9 at the latest - although since having surgery I've been sleeping in  I also love to be in bed by 10:00  I live with a houseful of night hawks though and when I'm working I have to be out the door by 6:10.  This usually means I never get enough sleep.

I jumped the gun this morning. I'm supposed to wait until Thursday to have eggs. But I really needed an egg. I've been feeling good, no issues with any of the food I've had so breakfast was actually 2 poached eggs. Spaced out and chewed well. No issues so far. An egg has never tasted that good! 

Linch - Skyr yogurt with sugar free raspberry and protein powder

supper- Some kind of soup with protein powder

Have a great day everyone!

Happy Monday Friends...Back at work and so busy but decided I am going to start taking my lunch hour and post here... weekend was good but seemed to go buy very quick.  

QOTD:  I am a little of both depending on the situation my husband used to play in a band (gotta use that Berklee education you know) so over the years I got used to the early mornings during the week and late nights on the weekends and even though he does not play much anymore we have kind of stuck with the routine.

Now for my food

B: hard boiled egg, slice of bacon and decaf tea with Fat free 1/2 & 1/2

S 1/2 apples & raspberries 

l: 3 oz of steamed chicken and piece of cheese

D chicken cordon bleu without the sauce or breading

Hope everyone has a great day...
