Everyday

It may come as somewhat of a surprise to you that I, a girl with a blog about cooking and baking, eats the same  thing for breakfast and lunch nearly everyday.

But, it's true.


Everyday (not nearly, but truly EVERYDAY) I eat a Granny Smith apple.  I am relatively healthy, too, so maybe they do keep the doctor away?  Anyway, according to my mom, she ate a lot of Granny Smith apples when she was pregnant with me.  So, maybe that it why I am addicted to their crisp, tart, and slightly sweet deliciousness.

But, I'm getting ahead of myself.

For breakfast, I keep it simple.


Cheerios.  Banana.  Milk.  It's like an equation.  Although, sometimes I do allow myself a little creativity, and add some cinnamon and brown sugar to the mix.  It's tasty and satisfying and gets my day going right.

Lunch.  My favorite meal of the day, and I eat that meal--the same food for lunch--nearly everyday.


Cheese.  Crackers.  An apple (Granny Smith, of course).  Honey mustard.  

I like to dip my apple in honey mustard.  I know you are probably grimacing at the thought of that, but trust me, it tastes good!  

This plate appeals to me for several reasons: it is aesthetically pleasing, it is compartmentalized, it is balanced and it is refreshing.

So, there you go.  A behind the scenes look at Culinarily Courtney.  Sorry to disappoint you, but I really don't eat extravagant desserts and meals popping with flavor everyday.  I am a "Plain Jane," and proud of it.

What are your "everyday" kind of meals?
