seriously? First we got dumped with 2 feet over the weekend and now another 2 feet ??Couldn't leave the house today! Good thing for exercise TV and the treadmill right?
Nick was not a huge snow fan - but he's getting used to it.
I took the opportunity to make some black bean sliders - which Nick decided to just drop the pieces on the floor. He wasn't into them, don't you love that when you take the time to make something?
And Averie/HeAb's Maple Nut Oaties. These were very very sweet - I would reduce the sugar (maple syrup and agave nectar) next time by half.
I liked reading everyone's comments about eggs - I definitely need to clean up my act and start buying farm fresh or cage free. It was a big step for me to even eat eggs about a year or 2 ago - I was anti eggs for a long time, they just grossed me out and as a vegetarian I didn't want to be into them. Many of you said eat the yolk! And I don't know why I skip it - cholesterol? Fat?
I want the proteins from the whites but what all is in that yolk? I haven't had a whole egg in a very very long time!
Left over cake, left over cookies - there is way too much sugar in this house, and we're stuck here! Brutal.
I'll take your cookies and cake off your hands... although i dont need it either! Stay warm!!!
ReplyDeleteI really feel for you. I can't imagine being stuck in the house like that...good luck!
ReplyDeleteI wish I had a treadmill at home. The gym was closed today because of the storm! Stuck to the bike... tomorrow, I'm taking to the snowshoes :)
ReplyDeleteCute snow pic! Thank goodness for treadmills.
ReplyDeleteAfter hanging out outside all morning with our kids, my neighbor and I were like, "What the heck would we do if we were snowed in and couldn't go play outside???" Cannot imagine! Nick looks like he's having fun though... :)
ReplyDeleteNow that's what you call snow! Great picture of Nick.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness that is a lot of snow! I can't believe how hard some people are getting hit this year!
ReplyDeleteHoly snow!
ReplyDeleteThose oaties look good - thanks for the tip about the sugar.
I usually eat the yolks too, but never more than one in a day.
Nick looks so cute bundled up! Hope you are able to get your freedom back from the snow today :)
ReplyDeleteI can't believe this snow! I have never seen anything like this before. It took Scott 2 hrs to shovel our drive this morning and he still couldn't get the car out so he ran to work. I am definitely going to appreciate Spring when it comes.
ReplyDeleteWe were snowed in over Christmas at our house, and it was the most wonderful, lazy, couch-filled 2 days ever. No clue what we would have done with a child though. Lots of Disney channel, I'm thinking. :o)
ReplyDeleteThose pictures are so pretty! I love little Nick in the snow too. It looks so peaceful but man I would die if I lived there!
ReplyDeleteThat must be so rough not being able to go out of the house! I would definitely get cabin fever.... but ExerciseTV always saves the day! All of their stuff on exercisetv.tv is so great and fun!
ReplyDeletei have no idea what's in the yolk... i know that's the part the cholesterol (or most of it anyway) is in, and that's why a lot of people leave it out or only use 1/2 a yolk. other than that i don't know - hope you are able to find out!
ReplyDeleteadorable picture of nick in the snow :)
I read somewhere that eating the yoke with the egg white actually helps you absorb all of the nutrients the egg has to offer more thoroughly...
ReplyDeleteI can't believe all that snow! Crazy.
Also, Jimmy, my bf, just became a NY Fine Dining Examiner!! Thanks for telling us about it!!

I love the picture of nick in the snow! Hope you are staying sane!!
ReplyDeleteTHe cookies look really good!! I think upstate NY is the only place that DIDN'T get buried with snow.
ReplyDeleteIf I'm eating an omelet, scramble, or any other egg preparation (fried, over easy, etc.) I have to eat the yolk. I just don't like the taste of white alone! Melty egg yolk with a little salt and paprika is so delicious- you won't believe what you've been missing!
When I make oatmeal with eggs I do separate them. I've tried whole eggs and it really doesn't add any flavor, so I'm fine sticking with just the whites there.
There's a lot of nutrients in the yolk, but that's also where the fat and cholesterol are. Eating a few a week is good for you, though.
