It’s Wednesday and we’re already halfway through the workweek. Not too shabby, huh? I hope your morning hasn’t been too hectic so far!
Before we dive into breakfast, let’s back up a bit to yesterday…
I meant to check in again later yesterday afternoon after my visit to Caitlin’s house, but I got called back into work at the gym when a coworker went home sick. (Is everyone sick where you are right now, too!?) So, I didn’t get a chance to post my usual second post of the day, but now we’re back in action!
My extended mid-day break was a great one because it gave me a chance to see Caitlin and drop off a (gluten-free + vegetarian) lasagna, visit with her sweet son Henry and meet her adorable baby girl, Claire. Plus, I got to see my old furry buddies, Caitlin’s dogs Maggie and James and her beautiful gray cat Ferguson!
I wish I got to see the Boyle gang more often! (Though Caitlin and I both live in the Charlotte area, we live on opposite ends of the outside of the city and our houses are nearly 50 minutes apart.) Meeting Claire was such a treat because she really is the smiliest little girl. I visited with Caitlin for a little less than two hours before heading out and back into work.
On my way back to the gym, I couldn’t resist popping into Sunflour Baking Company for a fresh sharp cheddar biscuit.
Ryan and I first discovered Sunflour during our top-secret trip to Charlotte when he was interviewing for his new job and immediately loved the atmosphere of the local family-owned bakery and café. Yesterday’s cheddar biscuit was just as delicious as I remembered and served as the perfect midday pick-me-up.
I spent the rest of the afternoon and early evening working at the gym before heading home, digging into sloppy joes for dinner and crashing on the couch with Ryan and two episodes of Homeland.
Today
Ryan and I opted to sleep in today again (yes, we fell victim to staying up too late watching Homeland again) and since I’m not teaching any classes today, I’m hoping to be able to use my lunch break at the gym a little early today to squeeze in an afternoon workout of my own.
But first things first: Breakfast!
Today’s morning meal included a breakfast sandwich with Swiss cheese, egg whites and turkey bacon, served with a sliced Pink Lady apple.
Plus some raw almonds that I snacked on while putting together the above plate!
Have a wonderful Wednesday, my friends!!
Question of the Morning
- What TV shows have you watched in the past that you found totally addicting?
House of Cards basically ran our lives until we made it through every episode last year. That show is so, so good! Scandal also totally sucked me in when I first started watching it.

Hi Julie!
Homeland is definitely worth staying up for as was Breaking Bad, and Lost back in the day!
Um, we’re counting down the days until 2/27. Are you excited for the new season!?
YESSSSSSSSSSS!
Everyone is sick up here too. I just got over a bad cold a couple days ago! I’m super excited for the new House of Cards season. I just started watching the Blacklist on Netflix and that’s pretty good!
Sunflour baking company is my favorite coffee place in Charlotte. Their food is delicious, their coffee is amazing and the atmosphere is great. We go there after 5ks a lot or a good run around the area. Glad you discovered it!
Addicting TV shows: House of Cards, Breaking Bad, 24 {an oldie, but we started watching it last year on Netflix}.
Parenthood is soo addicting! I binge watched it in like 3 weeks until I was caught up to the current season! I am kind of sad I watched it so quickly only because its on its last season.
I first started Homeland by binging on the entire first season in a few days. Now we have Showtime (our only cable splurge) just to keep up with it. I also was addicted to Downton Abbey, Scandal, and Revenge. I’m a little afraid to start getting into another show where I can stream all the episodes because once I start I have a hard time stopping!
totally forgot about downton abbey! definitely another favorite of mine!
Elementary sucked us in one summer and now we are in love with it. Same with How to Get Away With Murder. I want to watch House of Cards and Homeland…they are on the list! Now if we just had more time… 🙂
Homeland was one for me. That and Breaking Bad. Total addiction for me last winter!
I’m watching Friends on Netflix now, and am on Season 4. Phoebe just got pregnant, and I think Ross is about to meet Emily (I’ve never seen the show in chronological order before!).
season 4 is the best!!!! my fav episode is the one where it’s the boys vs. the girls and they play for monica and rachel’s apartment. so, so funny!! 🙂
Desperate housewives was super addicting!
Homeland, scandal and house of cards for us too. I like binge watching parenthood when it’s just me, same with how to get away with burger. In college I watched like 5 seasons of weeds in a couple weeks but that’s when I could stay up past 12.
Murder not burger, although that could be interesting…
Sad to say the last show we were bananas about was Lost, and we watched it well after it was popular on DVD! Lately we are loving Stalker though 🙂
Love Parenthood! So sad it’s ending. Friends episodes take me back to the college years. My roommates and I had the seasons in DVD. Addicting!!
My hubby and I started watching 24 this fall. Soooo good!! It’s hard to not binge watch but at the same time each season has so many episodes that it takes forever to get through. We’re finally on Season 8 and then we’ll watch the special season (called 24: Live Another Day). I don’t know what I’ll do with all my free time when the we finish watching the series.
we were really into breaking bad, too!
I miss biscuits so much now that I can’t eat gluten! That looks amazing!!
Can I ask what type of turkey bacon is that? It looks sooo much better (and not as dried out) as stuff I find….
i loooove this turkey bacon! it’s applegate farms natural turkey bacon –> http://www.applegate.com/products/natural-turkey-bacon i buy it at whole foods. so yummy!
bachelor. also, cheddar biscuits make everything better.
My fiancé and I are always getting hooked on new shows.. And staying up way too late haha. Lately we’ve been addicted to shark tank and modern family!

Peaky Blinders on Netflix ! It is a little slow getting into it but will have you hooked!
Walking Dead is the only show we’re really addicted to right now. We went through a Fringe phase a while ago and binge watched the whole show on Netflix.
Ditto. I just finished the last, or mud season finale. So anxious for new episodes.
Oh my gosh we are obsessed with the Blacklist, it starts back right after the Super Bowl and we are counting down! Ya’ll should check it out, the first season is on Netflix!
Random question, do you just microwave the turkey bacon?
My boyfriend and I are all about Gotham right now. He also just finished binge watching Parks and Rec so he would be prepared for the final season; which started lasted night.
Scandal IS addicting! I think the most addicting show I’ve watched has to be 24- so good and every episode sucks me in.
That cheddar biscuit looks incredible!
those cheddar biscuits look incredible!!!
Orange is The New Black took over my life for a few weeks earlier this year. And now Criminal Minds is doing the same thing! I just need a month off of work to catch up on all this good TV and I’ll be good 🙂
Yummy biscuits! Mad Men really sucked me in…couldn’t stop watching, especially the seasons that are on Netflix!
House of Cards Season 3….beginning Feb. 27th! I know what I’ll be doing that weekend….:)
Homeland and Breaking Bad both really sucked me in as well!
Scandal is horribly addicting! And oh my goodness those biscuits look too good!
Breaking Bad was totally addicting, but some episodes were so intense that it felt like you needed to recover before watching another one. Same with House of Cards.
Grey’s anatomy. Still going strong with that one. Also 19 kids and counting. Sucks you in!
I love Homeland and Scandal. I think you would really enjoy The Blacklist. It is the current addiction at our house!! The first season is on Netflix.
I’m with you on House of Cards!!! I’m anxiously awaiting the release date of season 3 in February!!
That was so sweet of you to bring dinner to Caitlin! I’m not really into any tv shows, but we have been loving sherlock (british tv) episodes!
Oh my goodness… Scandal, Grey’s Anatomy, Revenge, Parenthood, and Friday Night Lights!!! And the first three seasons of Glee.
Apparently I need to cancel my Netflix subscription and get off my couch! 🙂
I love cheese biscuits. Especially when they are lightly toasted with a bit of butter. Yum!
We are REALLY into our TV box sets. My favourites are Dexter, Desperate Housewives, Prison Break and Orange is the New Black.
Back in the day Lost was MY LIFE. It’s still one of my favorite shows ever. If you haven’t watched it from start to finish, I highly recommend it.
House of Cards for sure! I also fell victim to binge watching Gilmore Girls when Netflix picked up it a few months ago.
It’s been a long time since I got sucked into a show. Lately the Apprentice has had my attention. All the ladies are so crazy!
I just got caught up with the current season of Parenthood but my boyfriend and I totally binged watched on Netflix and we were obsessed! another oldie but a goodie if you have never watched before is Friday Night Lights. TOTALLY Addicting and to this day is my favorite show of all time. It is available on Netflix!
Your breakfast always looks so darn good!! Right now I am absolutely LOVING Once Upon A Time! I like how the story line is awesome and it is a good, clean show 🙂
Definitely House of Cards and Orange is the New Black, but
I think our most pathetic binge was Parks and Rec. We went through like 6 seasons in less than a month.
I also went through a hard Felicity faze in 2012. I was almost disowned by the husband, so I try to pick shows now that we both like, haha.
Sloppy joes are one of my favorites! I haven’t had them in awhile, I might have to make them sooner rather than later now.
Whenever Mad Men is on it always draws me in. It’s a good thing I can’t watch it on demand or else I’d never get anything productive done!
We binge watched Dexter on Netflix. OITNB was another one that I got totally sucked into!! There is a creepy show on Netflix called Hemlock Grove that is kind of interesting, but a little gory for my taste…the hubs loves it.
Sons of Anarchy! I did not expect to like it but I gave it a shot on Netflix and am so addicted. I have been staying up way too late binge watching it.
Isn’t it awesome that Kevin Spacey won a Golden Globe for HOC? Oh and we’re way into Weeds right now!
Without a doubt, Game of Thrones is the most addicting show I’ve ever fallen victim too. It’s so good!
My husband sucked me into Homeland too! Cant’ wait for the new season! – Love binge watching! I also watch and LOVE, Revenge, Scandal, The Bachelor, American Idol, and my ultimate guilty pleasure–> Pretty Little Liars
