With a Side of Hope

Hi there!  Happy Wednesday to you!  I’m glad that it’s the middle of the week already.  I still have so much to do before Friday.  I really hope I can get it all done.  It’s making me very stressed out.  Tonight Melissa and I will be getting ingredients that I don’t have for the treats that we are baking and then we are going to bake them.  I hope we can get it all done.  Then tomorrow after work, I have to pick up gifts for my supervisor since I am the one that does it every year for my team.  I usually collect money from my team mates and then I go out and get the gift.  We are doing things a little differently this year.  We usually get him a gift card but we are going to get a physical gift this year.  Which means I have a few stores to go to so I can get the perfect gift.  So needless to say, I’m pretty stressed out.  I hope I can get everything done.  I think I will.

Last night I decided to keep things pretty simple with dinner.  My stomach was not feeling well at all.  Mike actually made dinner for me because I felt like I couldn’t stand to cook.  He made me twice-over eggs and a toasted blueberry bagel.

Eggs with blueberry bagel

I love eating breakfast for dinner.  I am a huge fan of breakfast food so eating it any time of day is fine by me.  Mike feels the same way which is a good thing.  I couldn’t figure out what I wanted to put on my bagel though.  So instead of deciding on one thing, I decided on two.  One item on each side of the bagel.

Earth Balance “butter” and Apple Butter!

I decided on two of my favorite items in the world!  I love my Earth Balance “butter” and I love the Plain & Fancy Apple Butter!  To make the best of both world’s,  I used both and let me tell you, it was a great decision.  What do you like to put on a bagel or toast?

I have a few things that I like to put on bagels or toast in addition to the Earth Balance and Apple Butter.  I love vegetable cream cheese.  Vegetable cream cheese is my absolute favorite kind of cream cheese.  I am also a fan of strawberry cream cheese.

I do like the occasional jelly on my bagel or toast but it has to be grape jelly!  I don’t like any other type of jelly as much as I do grape.

I don’t know how I’ve gotten so picky but that is what I like and I’ll stick with that.  It makes me a happy girl.  I like all different types of bagels too.  I’m not picky when it comes to types of bagel.  If it’s a bagel, I’ll pretty much eat any kind because I’ve grown up eating bagels.  When I was younger, it was a family tradition that on every single Sunday, we would get together with my grandparents and go to our favorite bagel shop/restaurant for Sunday breakfast.  Of course our parents and grandparents would order bagels and lox.  While Melissa and I took a dabble with that on occasion but we usually would stick with a bagel and cream cheese.  I really miss those days.  Looking back on it, I wish I would have cherished the moments with my grandparents more.  It’s been a long time since I’ve had grandparents around and I truly miss that.

Alright, well I don’t really have all that much to talk about today so instead of rambling on tangents, I’m going to sign off.  Hopefully I will be back tomorrow with some baked goods pictures and recipes!  Have a great Wednesday!
