Read-a-thon: Menu

The second best thing about read-a-thon (the first being reading all day), is the large amount of snacks I get to consume. The Boyfriend and I have worked out a menu for the day, most of it is the usual stuff that has worked for us in previous read-a-thons.

Of the course of my many read-a-thons, I've found that finger foods make the best nibbles. They're easy to eat while reading, and you can graze on them throughout the day. Also, I always feel less guilty about all the noms I'm stuffing my face with when they're a) small and b) vegetables and fruit.

That said, I also love having a starting snack and a heartier breakfast to help fuel me up for the day. This year, we're trying something a bit new in the breakfast column...

Kick-Off Snack

Greek Yogurt with Honey and Granola

Coffee

Egg and Sausage Casserole*

*My mum makes this at the B&B she runs. It is delish.

Lunch

*The Boyfriend is in charge and he'll either surprise me or we'll order out.

Popcorn

Tomorrow I will be back with pictures of my shopping haul (and possibly and step-by-step breakdown of how to make the egg and sausage casserole since it can be prepped the night before).

My taste buds are already salivating. Is it Saturday yet?

Also, as a reminder, it's not too late to sign-up to participate in read-a-thon! You can do so here.
