Good morning! Sorry it’s been so long since I last posted, but I’ve just been relishing the weekend. But the weekend isn’t over yet! I have today off for President’s Day and I’m currently hanging out around the house watching bad TV. Which is pretty much what I’ve done all weekend, but I feel no shame.
After I posted yesterday I headed out to meet up with my sister-in-law. We had brunch at one of my favorite OKC restaurants – Rococo’s. The head chef and owner is on twitter, and if you live in OKC he’s a must follow. Do so here!
We started off with the fruit place appetizer.
For my entree I had the frittata that is filled with ripe roma tomatoes, chevre cheese and fresh basil, served with breakfast potatoes and fruit.
It was a great pre-movie meal. After eating we headed to the Oklahoma Museum of Art (follow them here) to see Nine, which was good but not as fabulous as I wanted it to be.
After that I had to run to Target to get some coffee and things, then I came home and had a loving dinner.
Gnocchi with marinara sauce and cottage cheese to amp up the protein a bit. ‘Twas delish. After that I did some ellipticalling, then watched some TV and eventually put myself to bed.
This morning I woke up earlier than I would have liked so I could get my trash out, and then sat down to a lovely bowl of cereal.
Yum yum!
Right now I’m watching Friday’s episode of Ellen, which features one of my favorite musical artists Joshua Radin. Then I have big plans of cleaning the apartment and going to the gym, where I hope to try something I’ve never done before. But we’ll see how that goes…
Are you off work today? I know that Canada has their own holiday today, so many of you are off. But it seems like the American school system isn’t really celebrating President’s Day. Wassup with that?
Oh friend…I just love these posts!! Several things:
1) What is this Rococo’s place you speak of and how come we’ve never ventured here before if it’s one of your favorite?? That fritata looks delicious!
2) Am in the only one who noticed that your dinner was plated in a red heart-shaped plate. So precious!
3) What kind of cereal is dat?? I do love me some craisans!
4) Thanks to you, I have successfully and happily converted to Target for all my shopping and grocery needs! I’ve even started going to Whole Foods more…look at how influencial you are!
5) I am not off work today and the kids here in Texas at @ school. We don’t love our President…hehe!
I’ve never heard of that place! I will have to go soon!!
I have to work on Presidents Day which is weird since I Work for a school…I guess we either get MLK day or Pres Day and they chose MLK!
Your brunch looks good! May I ask what is “Gnocchi”?
I love brunch, and that looks wonderful! I wish I was off work + school from President’s Day. Maybe tomorrow instead, as it’s snowing right outside my window at the moment!
Nope – still had class! I love the marinara + gnocchi + cottage cheese combo. That sounds so unique but really tasty! Going out to brunch is so fun! Nice choice with that fritatta!!
Hope you enjoyed your day off
Most schools in Georgia were off today. Some even have the whole week off – so jealous of them!! Your meal that you ordered looks great! I love fritattas!!
Have a great evening!!
That fruit plate appetizer looks awesome!

It is so rare that you find a restaurant that has such an amazing looking fruit spread. Divine! And that frittata looks unreal as well, I don’t think I’ve ever seen one that looks so delicious.
Looks like you have a fabulous V-Day dear
Yep – we have family day today!!!! A few provinces celebrate it, and Saskatchewan just made it an official holiday a few years ago!!! I work as a teacher, and we had Thursday and Friday off as well
I lurve Joshua Radin! I think in some songs he sounds kind of like Simon and Garfunkel. I was not off today unfortunately, but I’m not a hater so I’m glad you enjoyed your mini vacay!
I love bad daytime tv. HUGE fan actually. Although I was a little disappointed that my soaps were replaced by the Olympics today (had the day off as well).
Glad you enjoyed your day off! Sounds like it was fun!
Yumm, your dinner looks GOOD! I really love anything with cottage cheese
UGH. I had to work today. I was hoping for a delay, since it was supposed to snow this morning, but no such luck. Most school districts in my area had today off. But not all of them.
i love ellen! and the view! haha.
i unfortunately had school today unlike so many other universities which got the day off, oh well… hope you have a great week!!
delicious eats
I had the day off yesterday and it was DIVINE. And even better than the day off is knowing this is now a short week
Enjoy!
Don’t apologise for living life! Looks like a great day! Gnocchi is one of my favourite foods, and I LOOOOVE your bowl! So cute
If I ever go to OKC, I’ll eat at Rococo’s for sure
No presidents day in the UK, strangely
