of oats & berries & a special meal.

late afternoon washing of the hair then up in a bun
until morning .. has produced a tumbledown tress mess...
with time at a premium i'm simply
going with it come what may.
i'm a daring one, to be sure! wink.

see that glass with the last hint of contents?
overnight oats. years ago our daughter introduced us
to this concept and just recently i re-introduced it
to our occasional morning breaking of the fast.
simple ingredients: equal parts of oats, yogurt, milk ..
{regular oats, siggi's plain yogurt, unsweetened almond milk} with a spattering of fruit {strawberries!} and a good stir, cover and place in the fridge overnight.
it's delicious. and filling.

the hubs spent a few days in the bay area for work this week, so for his welcome home dinner i prepped salad, filets, and dessert. ♥

super greens, pistachios, raisins, tomatoes .. then a drizzle of both olive oil and balsamic vinegar
along with a good turn of the pepper mill.

one sweet potato was sufficient for both our plates as well as a bit for the next evening's meal.. i prepped filets with fresh cracked salt & pepper along with olive oil.. the hubs is the grill master - the filets came off the grill so incredibly tender! on the stove top i saute'd onion, mushrooms, and bacon {cooked up & drained}
.. then spooned it over the filets. delish!

a simple dessert of strawberries, plain yogurt, sugar free whipped cream, and a tablespoon of graham cracker crumbles. 

have you made a special meal lately? 
i'd love to hear about it!
