Sweet Sunday brew.
Well hello dear friends,
I had a great Sunday! It certainly made up for the Halloween I had. But you know what? You have bad days, you vent, and you move on to better ones. So on that note..let’s move on!
This Sunday started off with Adam making me tea..AND photographing it for me!

He did a great job, didn’t he? I was so proud! Only a week, and he’s got the “husband of a food blogger” thing down..
Speaking of which..YAY for one week done in the life of TBF!
I am hooked..and it’s only going up from here!
For breakfast I had my first bowl of oat bran! I LOVE IT!! I think the one thing I don’t love about oatmeal is the extra chewyness..and oat bran had a lot less chewyness. Perfecto for Katy. Adam cooked up what the bag said, and ended up making a ginormous bowl(that proceeded to boil over) in Adam’s words: “next time biiiiiiiiiiiiiiigger pan!”.

My lovely bowl consisting of the bran of oats. As well as honey and brown sugar! Mmmm..It did need some nanners though. I ate about half of this bowl. I also had a Stonyfield yogurt. Mmmmm..it’s a daily habit. Love it!
After I actually ate a decent breakfast this morning, we headed to church. I was reading the scripture on stage this morning (Acts 9:1-22) boy was I nervous! Aye yaye yaye! I can teach 20 kids everyday but when it comes to my church..I had major butterflies. But I got up there (shaky as it was) and did it and it went well. I didn’t turn red until AFTER I sat down. Success..haha!
We were heading home when we received a call from my in-laws. I listened as Adam talked and told them: “Well, I don’t think so..we were just planning on relaxing the rest of the day. Yesterday was pretty stressful. I’ll ask Katy, but for now count us out.” I was very curious as to what he politely turned down on my behalf. Apparently, they had just found out that Orlando has a brewing company! I was surprised and really excited, I asked Adam if he wanted to go and he was game! I called my mother-in-law and told her and heard my father-in-law laughing in the background at how quickly I agreed. But first: lunch!
Adam requested some mac & cheese so I cooked up come Annie’s:

With a YOGURT and cheese sauce..oh yes..


I mixed the hot noodles with some fresh spinach and mixed so that it would wilt, and added about 1/4 cup of shredded cheese and mozzarella to the mix. A little garlic powder, S&P later and we had a delicious protein-packed mac and cheese!

I had a Boca Chik’N patty on a whole wheat Arnold’s sandwich thin with a little ketchup. Also some carrots and celery on the side.

Awful picture, but we were in a rush to get to the brewery! Oh and I had already eaten a few carrots before remembering to take a pic!I ate about half of the bowl of mac & cheese..super filling!
Washed down with this:

Then a pumpkin kiss for dessert..these. are. so. good.

Sweet pumpkiny goodness in one little bite. I had to give the kiss a kiss it was that good!
The brewery is located in downtown Orlando. It was actually on the same street where I did my flowers for my wedding!
It’s called the Orlando Brewing Company and better yet..it’s a certified organic brewery. Oh yes, they were speaking my language! We pulled in with this sign in front of our car:

Ahh yes, I was excited! I loved the atmosphere!




Don’t worry….be hoppy!
It was pretty empty since it was a Sunday but Monday-Saturday they have free tours at 6pm. We didn’t tour today since it was Sunday, but we’ll be back! My Father-In-Law got us two full samplers so each couple could share..they were pretty large samples.


We tried about 15 beers in total, but now worries..I didn’t feel it tooooo much(which surprised me!).
We shared all of them and some of them we didn’t even finish.
We also snacked on some pretzels.



Pompous ass beer anybody?

Oh and we snagged Halloween candy..not that we need anymore with a whole plastic pumpkin filled!
All in all a wonderful day! Dinner is cooking, this time a sweet potato is definitely on it’s way for moi. Yum yum yum! Recap on that tomorrow probably. My lovely husband agreed to watch “Ghost of Girlfriends Past” with me. Thanks for the chick flick Adam! I owe him some macho-action packed-killing people-lots of blood-machine gun-kick butt-sci-fi movie now. We trade off.
Hope everyone is having a relaxing Sunday!

Off to the patch of pumpkins!
Sorry for no morning post, stayed with my mom last night at her friends place since they are out of town. Yep, this noob of a blogger left her camera cord, memory card USB plug-in, and phone charger at home. So I had no way to get my pictures to YOU! I’m learning, so bear with me! Deal? Deal!
Well..my mom just left. I hate that she lives 3 1/2 hours away..I know I know it’s not much but it’s just far enough.
We had a great weekend though and I am super grateful for that. We went yesterday to the VegFest, which was nice. We lasted only about an hour though, it was SO stinkin’ hot!
This morning I got up and went straight to Joe..this Joe that is:
He’s so good to me..
The place we were staying at only had sugar and the powdered Coffee Mate creamer, neither of which are my faves. I didn’t pack well, but coffee is coffee! So I took what I could get.
We headed out to church and met up with my husband. I love my church! I realized on the way though that the coffee had viciously tricked my tummy into believing it was full. Joe..how could you?
I snacked on a bit of this in church:

But only a little bit because it was super crunchy! It was good, especially with the spices in it. But I think I much prefer soft snack bars. I also sipped on a little unpictured green tea.
After visiting with people after church we headed to Panera for a quick bite to eat since my mom wanted something light. I just wanted something..I got a super comforting bowl of broccoli cheddar soup and a chunk of french bread.

Super yumm..with a cup of water. Anyone else frustrated that when you choose to make a better choice by drinking water they punish you with super mini-sized cups? I feel like I have to get up every few minutes to refill..I think more people should choose water over soda and they should be encouraging it as well! Just my opinion..what do you think?
Well the whole reason my mom came was to bring up my dog Bo from home. We’re dog sitting for the next couple days until we bring him to her friends house. They are out of town until tomorrow night but have a golden retriever so Bo won’t be lonely during the day. My mom is flying up to NC and then she and my step-dad will be driving through to get him next Monday.
Anyways, all that to say that we are bringing him to the local art festival right now and then headed to a pumpkin patch. It’s our first time carving pumpkins together, including unmarried dating time. Oh and this pumpkin carving adventure is sponsored by mom..she treated us to our pumpkins!
Picture and possibly a vlog to come..(:
Hope everyone is enjoying their Sunday!
Love love love,
Katy
