After my 5pm appointment I came home for dinner before my 7pm client. I don’t know who I am anymore – all I could think of was eggs and/or tuna. Since we don’t have tuna I went with eggs.
I made a big scramble with veggies and served it up with an english muffin – half with garlic laughing cow and half with jam. Jam on it.
So I had eggs twice today and am looking forward to more tomorrow! I should at least get a little more creative with them.(NatalieDee.com)
Side note: The Oxygen magazine Protein Peanut Butter Cups recipe wasn’t good. I guess I shouldn’t have expected it to be, but I’m an optimist.
I had a piece of toast with PB&J for dessert before heading back to work.
Then, I came home for the Grand Finale!!!
A smoothie in a bowl with granola. I love smoothies. I love granola. This is my favorite snack. FAVE For LIFE!
Night!
Sara says
Sorry your pb cups didn’t work out. Looks like the smoothie kind of made up for it.
Amber K says
Bummer about the bum recipe.
I have to laugh at that cartoon! Hard-boiled eggs are my absolute favorite, even if they are “ruined” 😉
Dina @ DinaRuns says
So sad that the Oxygen recipe didn’t turn out well. It did look like it was to good to be true
runeatrepeat says
I hoped they were going to be good, but nope.
CJ @ Http://healthy-happy-whole.com says
Do you put ketchup on your eggs too?!? Everyone looks at me like I’m nuts when I do that!!!
runeatrepeat says
I LOVE ketchup on eggs.
Mary says
it’s a sign your bod is craving more protien! keep with it 🙂
Sarah @ Sarah's Modern Bites says
I love love love eggs with runny yolks. have you ever had a fried egg on a veggie burger!? And then add a little avocado to it… so frickn’ good.
I love your polka dot bowl!!!
runeatrepeat says
Yeah, I’ve put fried eggs on everything at some point 🙂

Hi Monica,
I tried to post this a few mins ago and it didn’t work.. so here it goes again. I want to try smoothies as a new snack for me (not necessarily for meals).
emily says
Monica, What was in your smoothie?? I’m trying to get into smoothies and want to have them more as snacks (so trying to keep them lower than 200 cals) rather than meals. I bought the Biggest Loser vanilla protein (only 50 cals a scoop) and i bought guar gum … any recommendations for ways to make a dessert like smoothie thats healthy and lower calorie than ice cream?

I love seeing all your smoothies-in-a-bowl-with granola ideas! I decided to give it a try with our Kellogg’s FiberPlus(R) Yogurt Berry Crunch cereal instead of granola and loved it! Thanks for being so inspiring!
runeatrepeat says
I haven’t tried that Kellogg’s cereal yet – sounds good!
Amy says
ahh bummer about the oxygen recipe. ive tried some of their protein dessert recipes too and they came out ‘ok’ but basically not good enough to make again. i eat eggs like, a lot. hopefully my cholesterol is okay haha.
Mallory @ It's Only Life says
Love eggs! Have you tried them with hot sauce? It’s so good
Taylor @ Crumbs Don't Count says
I love eggs (and breakfast in general) for dessert! So glad to see you put ketchup on your eggs. The guys in my office say it is “weird” to put ketchup on eggs (and chicken) but I think it is so good! I think they are the weird ones.
runeatrepeat says
I cannot live without ketchup on eggs (and a ton of other things!).
Amber K says
My husband douses his eggs with ketchup. Sometimes I wonder if there are actually eggs underneath or not, lol.
Taylor @ Crumbs Dont Count says
Haha…I am glad to know it is not just me! Now I have back up when they start telling me how WEIRD I am! I also like syrup on my eggs? (Not in combination with the ketchup!)
Fallon says
Yikes what happen to your dessert?? I always wonder if they test their recipes fully in these health type magazines. The smoothie looks amazing! I had one for breakfast with vanilla protein, frozen mangoes and white chocolate PB blended in. It was amazing and so creamy!
RunEatRepeat says
Still haven’t tried that white chocolate PB!
Jane @ Jane's Addictions says
I love eggs for dinner. When I am lazy/tired/too hungry to cook a full meal, I just make some quick omelets and we are all set.
Laura says
I love the picture of the hard boiled egg.
rumfunandsun says
I love eggs so much!I would at least pretend you are craving protein because you are getting buff!!!
allpointswhole says
Guess all that workin out has left you craving protein!
Amanda says
I made Oxygen peanut butter cups last week and they were great! Mine were very liquid until I froze them in small muffin tins. They made a great frozen pop. Sorry your’s didn’t turn out so well…
RunEatRepeat says
Maybe I should try them again with some tweaks then.
runnrjo says
Bummer about the peanut butter cups. I tried the almond butter whey cookies and it was like eating cardboard. I will have to try something else….
Sarah @ Food and Love Diaries says
I’m a major fan of poached eggs… so gooey and delicious!
Nicole says
as i’ve said it before, i love your blog. your posts are just the right amound of random + funny + truthful. also – for some reason my IT server doesn’t block your blog, so I can actually see the pictures and not just the words in google reader. last, and possibly the most important – for whatever reason you always put up a post around 8h30 a.m. my time. i work overseas and i LOVE reading blogs from canada/US. totally makes me feel like i haven’t left the real world. ok. i hope that doesn’t sound stupid. anyway, just some random blog praise for you. and i love your salads. and the froyo place you to makes me green with envy.
Lorin says
I love eggs! By the way after seeing your brocolli slaw stir fry things, I made some of my own. TJ’s brocolli (broccoli?) slaw with marinara sauce is so good!
Rosa - Fitness, Food, Fulfilled says
Oh man, I was so hoping those cookies would taste good! There must be a good version somewhere out there. I love my protein delivered in cookie form.
