So this morning I knew I didn't want ANOTHER bowl of oatmeal (though I would not have protested at all) and should probably mix it up a bit before, as my grandmother says, I "will turn into oatmeal from eating it so much!". I decided that I wanted either waffles or french toast but was completely unable to make up my mind about which of the two I wanted. So then a glorious thought came to me - Waffle French Toast! Here's the recipe, but unfortunately NO picture since I have yet to get a charger for my camera - definitely this weekend though!

2 Kashi Frozen Waffles (170 cal)

1 Egg (75 cal)

1/4 Cup Skim Milk (20 cal)

1 tsp Almond Extract

Sprinkle of Cinnamon

1 tsp Blue Agave (10 cal)

1 tsp Brown Sugar (10 cal)

1/2 Small Banana (sliced) (50 cal)

1 tbsp 2% Fage (30 cal)

1 tsp SF Maple Syrup (10 cal)

This was quick and easy. First, I popped the Kashi Waffles into the toaster as I prepped the other ingredients. I simply mixed everything together and heated a skillet on the stove.

As soon as the waffles were ready, I poked a few holes onto each side with a fork, so that the batter could easily seep into the waffles.
I soaked both in the mixture and then threw 'em on the skillet. I poured the remaining batter over the waffles and cooked each side for about 2 minutes.

When they were done, I sliced half a banana on top and used a tiny bit of SF Maple Syrup. I also spooned on about 1 tbsp 2% Fage, and a small spoonful of Naturally More PB! Even though they were a tad bit on the mushy side, they still had enough consistency to be AWESOME, satisying, and yummy. I definitely got the best of both worlds - and for only about 350 calories, a small amount of healthy and filling fats & proteins, and a good amount of fiber!

Since it was my day off, I allowed myself to sleep in today - meaning I woke up at 8:45! I just can't sleep late unless I go to bed really really late. Also, I was woken up around 6:45 a.m. by the pup and dozed off again after tending to her every need for a few minutes.

I planned on going running before breakfast but the waffle french toast idea was far too appealing. For now I'm catching up on some of my fave TV shows, Greek being one of them, and I plan on going for that run in about an hour or so. I may also squeeze in a quick run to the gym to do very light cardio and some weight training. Nothing over the top, but if I have a day off, why waste it?

Well, I'm off to really start my day. Running may be difficult due to the fact that my foot has officially fallen asleep since Shea's head has been using it as a pillow for the past hour. Guess she's feeling that 6:45 wakeup!

Back later with updates!

Where areeee you Erin!?!
