Oven baked ribs & smashed potato salad

These ribs was falling off the bone delicious. I used a coffee & garlic dry rub from Trader's Joe and a simple red potato and bacon salad.

Candied bacon bittersweet chocolate toffee cookies

Really...thats the same thing I said but success comes from thinking outside the box.

Easy grilled #breakfast on my day off

I don't think my cat LouLou realize today is my day off so at 5:30a she started her 'git up and feed me' performance.
When I finally got out of bed at 7 I put the words 'quick + easy + grill' together....and breakfast was formed. 
         ENJOY your day off!!!

1/4 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk

1/2 cup fresh blueberries
1/2 medium ripped banana sliced
1 TBSP of a blend of nuts (I keep on hand a crushed blend of cashews, almonds, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds, I put it on most of my shakes and breakfast cereal)
  
1) I cooked the oatmeal according to directions and my taste in the almond milk and water, added the cinnamon and nutmeg allowed to cook, added the blueberries during the last 4-5 minutes 
2) layered the cup
