My boss was my lifesaver today!

We were both feeling rather unmotivated this morning so we took a field trip to our local Starbucks to take advantage of a Free Pastry this morning.

I was so excited about the idea of getting the free pastry, I unfortunately forgot to print the coupon! Luckily the lady at the register was really sweet and gave us our free pastries anyways.

I ordered a Grande Unsweetened Passion Fruit Tea for my drink.

There was slim pickings for the pastry. I was told to choose one from the bottom shelf, which was sad because I really wanted to choose the Blueberry Oat Bar on the top shelf.

In the end I went with the Raspberry Muffin.

I had 1/2 while my Supervisor and I had a ‘meeting’ at the Starbucks before heading back to the office.

I ended up making another cup of highly caffeinated Ice Tea when I returned to work. Needless to I was able to get an energy high that carried me through lunch.

I admit lunch today was not the prettiest of meals, but I promised they were very yummy left overs.

I made sure last night to make plenty of Sweet Potato Hashbrows, knowing full well they would become a wonderful soup for lunch today.

I added 1 cup College In Coconut Curry Broth & a handful of Mushrooms to the Sweet Potato and heated it up in the microwave. This broth is very flavorful and pairs perfectly with the sweet potatoes. I’ve had this combination once before and was so happy to have the opportunity to enjoy it again.

With the soup I heated up the left over pasta from Saturday night.

I’ll admit the pasta was not nearly as good as it was on Saturday.

I also grabbed some unpictured Cherries on my way out the door.
