Kris and I woke up this morning and realized that we had both taken this day off of work a few weeks ago as a planned "Kris and Alyssa Mental Health Day." Occasionally we do this, and use the day to run errands, watch movies, cook meals and just hang out together. :-)
For breakfast I wanted something simple and cheesy, so I melted slices of mozzarella onto a whole wheat bagel in the toaster oven. This combo is great for any meal!
Then we hung out and watched some movies on Starz: Bad Boys and 30 Days of Night.
Lunch was comforting and healthy. I heated up some organic creamy butternut squash soup, and added some brown rice and onions. On the side I had steamed veggies (broccoli, snap peas, asparagus, red peppers and onions) with parmesan cheese on top. I also had half a piece of toast.
Now I'm going to do some homework while Kris grades tests, and then we'll go run some errands.
Hope everyone is enjoying their Monday!
