It was again 50 degrees this morning, so Ed and I took another 30 minute walk.  We got almost to the river when he spotted the ducks!  He scared them away though!

Then I came home and enjoyed more peppermint coffee, thanks to Hannah!

Yep, another snowman mug!

Breakfast was oats, water, 3 oz. diced apple and a couple tablespoons of granola.  The only thing I don’t like about these bags is that in the end you are really only left with sunflower seeds and a few raisins!

So my friends K and R at work were the inspiration for my sweet potato recipe submission.  I had given each of them my recipe and asked for suggestions – glad R suggested that I reduce the amount of Splenda brown sugar.  I originally was going to put 2 tablespoons not remembering that it would be the equivalent of 4 tablespoons – it would have made it REALLY too sweet.

Since we have a kitchen at work, I brought the raw ravioli to work and boiled it here, heating up the sauce in the microwave, and made garlic bread in the oven.  EVERYONE LOVED IT and wanted the recipe.  It’s very light, the flavors work well together.  And I never would have even thought of this in a million years (I think I like sweet potatoes – who knew?!).

I had 6 ravioli and two slices of garlic bread

Lunch break is over – see you at dinner.  Um, I’m thinking pizza!  But I might make Mexican pizza with the leftover taco meat.  We’ll see!
