Good news! I spoke with my Dad this morning and my Mom is resting comfortably after her surgery. Everything went as planned and she should be home this evening.
Love you Mommy! Rest up and I’ll see you soon!! 
This morning I snack on a Vita-Top muffin.
FYI: Vita-tops are BOGO at Publix this week! Stock up!
For lunch I had my last Black Bean & Beet Burger from the batch I made earlier this week.
I topped it with salsa, cheese, and spinach.
And had Okra Fries with ketchup on the side.
Can’t forget the pickles!
Gotta get back to work!

That’s great that your mom’s surgery went smoothly! All the best thoughts to your family.
Want to buy and ship a ridiculous amount of vitatops my way
that burger just made my mouth water. is it lunchtime in colorado yet?
i’m so glad to hear your mom is doing OK…that’s great news! hope you have a wonderful afternoon and get to spend some great time with your mom
Glad your mum is doing good, what a relief!!
I’ve heard those viatop muffins are really good…they sure look it!
Happy to hear your mom is doing well!!
so glad to hear your mom is doing well! looks like all those good vibes did the trick
I just discovered okra, and I’m really impressed with the taste. The texture is funny though: hairy on the outside and slimy on the inside. Sounds gross, but when they’re cooked they’re really good!
Glad your mom is doing well. I really wish I had a Publix near me so I could try some Vitatops for cheap, they are so pricey at my grocery store. Oh well, I’ll live vicariously through you.
thats one of the reasons i stopped doing my running workouts before work and the gym too…i like to looooooooooooounge around, watch the weather…check Facebook…i HATE being rushed! but if i have to do it, i will, but i do everything in my power to NOT have to
So happy to hear that your mom is doing well!
Glad your mom is doing well
I wish I was near a publix!!
Glad to hear about your Mom
GLas to hear that your mum is doing well!!! That is great news
mmm i love vitatop corn muffins, but i’m sure they don’t beat your awesome cornbread!!
I’m glad that you’re momma is ok. You never know with these medical procedures!!!
okra fries? what’s that taste like..I dont’ know if I’ve tried okra
Your Okra fries reminded me… I had pickled Okra not so long ago! It was DELICIOUS!! If you ever get the change to try it, please do!
Glad you mom is doing well.
Okra fries sound pretty interesting!
How do you make the okra fries? I have only eaten okra fried, pickled or in gumbo. These look so good!
Your lunch looks amazing!
Glad to hear your mom is okay!
I’m glad your mom is okay!
I’m also glad that I’m not the only weirdo who hates getting dressed right after my showers. Unless I’m actually in the water/shower/rain I HATE the feeling of being wet. Getting dressed while damp is just annoying.
I’ve never had Okra, but I was just informed my my fiance’s buddy that it’s yummy and I should have some. So I’ll have to give it a try.
I’m glad your mom is okay! I’ve bought Vita Muffins a few times and can’t really get into it — it just tastes like a lo-fat muffin, not a REAL one, and I’d rather have the real thing, calories and all.
Holy Moly – delicious eats!
I love pickles…
Have a great weekend!
Brazilian XOXO´s,
Gabriela
So glad to hear your mom’s surgery went smoothly! Hope you’re having a good weekend
Beet and Black Bean burgers? Interesting! Your lunch looks great. I haven’t tried okra yet but I always see them (in fry form) on blogs. Carrot fries are my personal fave.
