Doesn't this Yogurt-filled Melon Bowl look delicious?
1/2 Honeydew Melon
Liberte 0% Plain Greek Yogurt
After scooping out the Honeydew seeds,
I poured 1 cup of the Greek Yogurt inside
Topped with pieces of Carob Energy Nuggets from Whole Foods
Surprisingly, this Breakfast is very balanced; Proteins, carbohydrates, and fats
Summer in Victoria B.C. can be quite unpredictable. Remember
this post last year when I had to wear my winter coat in the morning?
Well I didn't have to wear my winter coat this year, but we definitely
didn't experience "Summer hot" temperatures either... until September!
This month we've seen temperatures between 25-28 celcius, which
is not only what we could consider 'hot' here, but rare for September
Before Summer's curtain falls, I have been outside tanning every
chance I get. Above is my "Sun Bed" which consists of a comforter,
bed sheet, pillow, and towel... a little "outdoor spa therapy" perhaps?
Lunch was an absolute favourite of mine; Green Gobbling Squash Monster
1/2 large Kabocha Squash, roasted in the oven at 400F for 50 minutes
Stuffed the Squash with a Broccoli, Kale, and Red Onion Stir-fry
And drizzled Eden Organic Yellow and Brown Mustard on top
Maybe it was all the heat that affected my judgement, but
I ended up having Dessert for Dinner (via Planet Organic)
Two Organic Nanaimo Bars, haha don't judge!
I have been addicted to Nanaimo Bars ever since I cam out of my Mommy's Belly
"Eye spy with my little eye"... My brother's butt crack in the background! lol
Traditional Nanaimo Bars are made with a Yellow Custard Filling
instead of White Cream, similar to my Nanaimo Bar Recipe
But both are equally delicious!
And if you haven't heard of a Nanaimo Bar, it's basically a layered dessert consisting
of a Coconut and Chocolate Cookie Bottom, Custard Filling, and Chocolate Topping :)
Question: What has the weather in
September been like where you live?

Yum! I have yet to try the melon bowl yet! It looks sooo good :)
wow, love the honey dew melon idea. I never would judge your eats. They capture my heart and stomach!
;)
I knew I recognized those carob bars!!! One of my favorite impulse buys at WF :D
wow this post ruled in every way! I've been tanning it up by the lakes here with the nice weather, and enjoying kabocha as well! not quite as good as you have though, I want to try that combo. and i've yet to experience a nanaimo bar
Our weather has been crazy hot! While I'm loving the Indian summer, I'm so ready for cooler weather. I love pants and sweaters way more than shorts and tanks.
Montreal the weather has been absolutely gorgeeeeous the past week!
I've been hitting up the shorts and skirts like a crazy because I know when I come back from my trip to Korea in October it is going to be chilllyyy.
As for the Nanaimo bars for dinner, best idea ever!!!! I looooove Nanaimo and actually posted a recipe yesterday for a blonde, vegan version which are amaziiiiingggg.

The weather in Japan? Pretty crazy. Where I live it is about 26-27 degrees Celsius at night 33-34 during the day. I can't wait until it gets at least a little cooler because I wasted too many weekends already hiding from the sun. I want to go out and explore :) .
I've never had Nanaimo bars although I've been drooling over pictures of them for years. Maybe I should have chosen a different country or continent...
I love your melon bowl! It looks delicious. I also love that you had nanaimo bars for dinner. They're the best! Right now it is cold here but it was really hot on the weekend
Confession - not a fan of Nanaimo bars. Never have been, even though I love all the components. Weird eh?
And it's been freakin' hot here - 30 degrees this past weekend. I might be melting.
We've been hot, my dear. Argh! But all this food looks so good! Thanks for making my morning a little bit sweeter :-) I'm baking a batch of cookies and then heading to work. Sounds like a good start, huh? Much love and hugs from Austin!
lol! eye spy... That melon bowl looks mighty tasty :)
Mmm...that kabocha squash lunch looks absolutely divine! The weather here is becoming wet and windy, but I love seeing the leaves change from green to red/orage/yellow :-) xyx
It was SUPER hot last week (31 C), but today it was 10 C. Booo! I want the heat!
I miss tanning in my backyard.
Nanimo bars RULE.
