Sometimes simple dinners are the best.

I was pretty busy at work this afternoon and didn’t realize I was hungry until 4:00, which is a little later then my normal afternoon snack time. I had packed a rather large snack of Peach Chobani and Oatmeal Quaker Squares.

The snack was perfect and left me pretty full. So full in fact that I did not have my normal large appetite for dinner. I stood in front of the fridge for a good 10 minutes trying to decide what to eat, but all I wanted was something simple and easy, so I grabbed a few fresh items and got to work.

I steamed some fresh Broccoli and Carrots and covered them with pasta sauce.

I know it sounds strange but I LOVE pasta sauce on top of steamed veggies. Yum!

I had inspiration from Sarah for this wrap.

The ‘Crack’ wrap contained WildWood Indian Spice Hummus, Swiss Cheese & Jalapenos. Very gooey and yummy!

Like I said simple always makes the best dinner and this is exactly what I needed.

For dessert I had the last two mini tarts Derek had brought me from Greenwise.

Derek knows me very well showing up at my door on Friday with Mini Tarts and half a Pretzel. Food is so much better then flowers.

Now I’m officially all packed and ready to go!

I tried really hard to pack as light as possible. I limited the number of pants I packed, am only bringing two pairs of shoes and one purse. Honestly the thing that took up the most room in the suitcase was my running gear. LOL

I also made sure to pack a lot of healthy snacks.

In the bags are premixes of cereal and I put little notes in with what is in each bag for blogging purposes.

I think that’s it. I’m staying at Caitlin’s tonight as she lives minutes form the airport and has kindly offered to drop me off for my early flight. Thanks Caitlin!!!

Stay tuned for tomorrow morning’s post, I have a little surprise up my sleeves for you all while I am flying across the country.
