The Cure for Grey Days

Nicky4 Comments

Since Summer 2012, the weather in my neck of the woods has not been predictable.  Hurricane Sandy, a snow storm in October and lots and lots of rainy days.  Some days I feel like I live in Seattle!!!!!   This winter is no exception.  It’s been exceptionally warm; who ever heard of opening all the windows in the middle of winter?   That is not typical of winter, but I’ve been able to do so on many days including today.  So what’s a girl to do with all this fog, rain and grey?  

Lemme show you what I do:

Fog

on grey, foggy days

a bowl of chicken soup

Lunch Soft

or some honey paprika chicken, celery and roasted sweet potato

Candle Joy

a favourite candle burning

and a $1.99 classic book find from the thrift store

are the things I use to cure the grey day blues.  😀

How do you cope with these grey days of winter?

I know you can eat oatmeal everyday but it’s special for me on Sunday mornings.  I don’t know why.  Maybe it’s the way my mom made it, maybe because it just reminds me of home, but I decided to have some this morning.

Apple Spice & Peaches Oatmeal

  1. 2 chopped fresh peaches (or canned peaches like I used this morning)
  2. Oatmeal
  3. Apple spice
  4. Cinnamon spice
  5. Small piece of grated ginger
  6. Agave Nectar to taste
  7. a pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Cook oatmeal in the way that you typically do.  I added cinnamon, a pinch of salt, Agave nectar to taste, grated ginger.
  2. After cooking, top with apple spice and chopped peaches.
  3. Enjoy!!!
