After I slammed down a few cups of coffee this morning, I began to think about breakfast. Although it is not paleo, oatmeal sounded absolutely wonderful and I jumped up and headed into the kitchen. I had a few of those cranberry, apple, walnut instant oatmeal cups on hand and I foraged through my pantry to find them. Right before I opened up the cup I turned to look at the nutrition facts. What?! Fifty-three grams of carbs and some ridiculous amount of sugar. I put the oatmeal back in the pantry and closed the door muttering a few adult words while my dog stared at me. I had pretty much cooked almost every bit of food on hand trying out the new Instant Pot that I purchased weeks ago. Now I was down to eggs and high carb foods, so I cooked up a couple of eggs and called it good. Late morning I headed off to the gym for a quick workout and by mid afternoon I had passed hangry and was feeling sick. Hangry is the point of hunger where you swear everyone in a 2 mile radius is going down if you don’t get fed immediately. I didn’t even experience much of the hangry phase, I slid right on into “I am gonna be sick.” Since my oldest son was home, I decided it was a perfect time to have a lunch date and we headed off to a local restaurant/ bar. The restaurant part of the building was incredibly cold so we worked our way to the bar. If you have ever read If You Give a Mouse a Cookie by Laura Joffe Numeroff, you will understand the next part of my story….
If you put an adult in a bar, they are going to ask for an adult beverage. I decided on a vodka cranberry which arrived to the table a very pale, pink color so essentially I had 
vodka with a few droplets of cranberry juice. I then decided on a cheeseburger without the bun and instead of fries, I ordered a side salad with a raspberry vinaigrette. However, if you give the adult one vodka cranberry, chances are they are going to ask for another…
~Cheers!
