Bacon and Eggs

As fatty and unappealing as bacon may 

seem, I love the sound of it sizzling in the pan

With the crackle of fresh cracked eggs over heat

The smell of bacon's aroma filling the kitchen is 

enough to make most non-vegetarian tummy's growl

Time to serve it up!

Bacon and Eggs with Toast

It's whats for breakfast/brunch this fine Sunday

Question: What did you eat this morning?

Birthday Bouquet and Bacon

My boyfriend bought me a lovely bouquet of flowers for my birthday!

Spring-like and full of vibrant colors

So I wound up making us Breakfast for Dinner

Dinner breakfast of bacon, soft eggs, toast

It was a relaxing day spent with someone love

Question: What's your favorite 

birthday or celebration dinner meal?

BBQ Bacon Wrapped Turkey

Here are some photos of our Christmas Dinner. I feel like I have the 

"Post Holiday Eating Blues', already excited for the next holiday season

Almond Soy Asparagus, Mashed Potatoes, Gravy, Stuffing, Corn, and Cheesy Rolls/Buns

But the real star was the BBQ Bacon Wrapped Turkey

Cooked on the barbecue too!!! BBQ turkey is fantastic

The busy chef

Our snacks while we waited: Chips, cheese puffs, chocolates, and antipasto

I thought I'd add this sign I saw while I was out for a

walk. Cute, and totally fits the Snacking Squirrel vibe

Question: Are you already missing the 

holidays and have post-celebration blues?

Salad, Selfies and Salmon

We all have those random mornings where you wake up early feeling pumped,
ready to take on the day. These are the days I fuel with Bacon, Eggs, and Toast!

After a 20 minute hike, 10 minute jog, and a random set
of push-ups and yoga postures, I am feeling strong and fit

For lunch I packed on the protein to make a Chicken and Green Pea Salad

It was so good, with red onions, tomatoes, cucumber, lettuce, and Italian Vinaigrette 

The afternoon was spent smoking in the backyard,
enjoying the sunshine and crisp fresh cool autumn air

Ground that keeps me grounded ;)

#selfie!!! This sort of brings up a point about blogging. I've spent 

the last 4 years taking selfies for Snacking Squirrel and have no

 shame in continuing the tradition. I am sure most of you would like

to see how I look, especially through all my various transformations

Dinner was a Wild Salmon Salad Wrap made with a Brown Rice Tortilla

Tucked inside was spring mix lettuce

Questions: Do you take selfies for your blog?
 How do you feel about taking self photos?
Have they helped with your self-esteem or not?

Reading, Eating, and Running

With Summer just around the corner, I have been getting back 

in the routine of eating more balanced meals, heavy on the greens

These breakfast sandwiches pack quite the protein punch; a great start to the day

1 fried egg with 1/3 cup egg whites, 2 slices cheddar cheese, 2 slices
crisp bacon, sliced tomato and red onion, kale, mustard, and black pepper

Tucked between 2 toasted slices of my new favourite gluten free bread!

Oh and Sauerkraut! How can I forget to mention the sauerkraut :) Mmmm

Mid-morning I decided to get active...

...and go for a 10 km run! I love my Adidas by Stella McCartney
shirt, paired with my long-lasting black Everlast running pants

I sort of bent the healthy eating rules to welcome
 a little trail mix into my life, and that's fine by me

It's the same trail mix I posted here, except I made
my own version... I like to think of it as "Trail ReMix"

Original m&m Chocolates, sultana raisins, BBQ peanuts, and Salted
Bar Mix consisting of: Almonds, brazil nuts, cashews, pecans, walnuts

All mixed together in salty, sweet, savory greatness

And as Summer approches and the weather heats up, lazy

 days spent reading a book become a highly treasured treat

Currently, I am reading Learned Optimism by Martin E.P. Seligman, Ph.D. It's
  an excellent book examining our thoughts and how negative thinking holds us back

Question: What books are you reading
or looking forward to reading this Summer?

Bacon, Eggs and Toast

Here's a new feature to Snacking Squirrel: Bacon!

I've been eating more traditional-styled breakfasts while staying in Sicamous,

 whereas I'm normally partial to sweeter breakfast options like parfaits and muffins

But bacon, eggs, and toast are much more filling and 

energizing, and optimal for the cooler winter weather

2 sunny-side eggs with salt and pepper, a few 

strips of crispy bacon, and 2 slices of buttered toast

Questions: Are you a bacon fan? What is your 

favourite way to eat it, or best foods to pair it with?
