Sorry for going MIA today!
It ended up being a very busy day and I ended up running out of time to try and hunt down a SD card reader. It figures the one day I leave it at home, is the one day I bring my lunch with no plans of heading home during the day. This weekend I will need to pick up a new SD card reader that will designated for office use only. 🙂
My training schedule called for an easy 2-4 mile run this morning. Since it was too cold out for this Florida girl (30 degree temps = brrrrr) I completed my 3 miles on the treadmill while catching up on some highlights from last night’s Olympics. (Poor Lindsey Jacobellis! I was really rooting for her too)
A chilly morning called for a HOT breakfast.
Enter Bulgar Wheat
In my pot went
- 1/3 cup Bulgar Wheat
- 1/3 cup Water
- ¼ Peach
- Pinch Salt
- 1 teaspoon Brown Sugar
Topped with
- Granola
- Cacao Nibs
- ¼ Peach
- Almond Butter
Splendid. 🙂
My morning snack was a nice sweet treat. Oh Sin Dawg, how I <3 you!
Lunch was enjoyed a little on the later side sue to a 2 hour 11:00am meeting. I give one of my co-workers major props for declaring at 12:45 that she was starving and if there was any way we could finish the meeting later in the day. God bless her! My stomach was growling as well and I headed right to the kitchen where thankfully my packed lunch was waiting to be consumed.
Lululemon bags make very functional lunch bags, wouldn’t you agree?
I brought my lunch in parts and put it together in the office kitchen.
Original Southwest Veggie Burger review found here
Thank god for office toaster ovens. 🙂
I had a veggie tofu burger on a slice of toast with tomato, spinach, and ketchup.
Left over rutabaga fries with extra ketchup!
All together an easy meal that took a little effort to put together, but was well worth every bite. 🙂
A new item caught my eye in the yogurt case on Sunday.
Dannon Greek Yogurt? Sure, I’ll give it a try!
With some granola for extra crunch.
The Dannon greek yogurt wasn’t bad at all. It was thick, creamy, and everything good greek yogurt should be. I was surprisingly impressed. 🙂 If anything, the blueberry fruit on the bottom was a tad sweet, but nothing my sweet tooth couldn’t handle.
As soon as I was done with my snack I was already planning my dinner. Does anyone else do that?
I knew I had tabouli waiting for me in the fridge, but sadly there was no hummus. 🙁 What does one do with tabouli if she has no hummus? She roasts chickpeas!
I coated the chickpeas with olive oil, vinegar, dill, oregano, garlic salt, and pepper then roasted them with mushrooms and onions at 375 for 30 minutes.
The chickpeas came out great! My favorite bites included the roasted mushrooms.
Can’t forget the tabouli
With pita wedges in place of utensils
Brittany had sent me a lovely package for my birthday while I was away. Inside I was very excited to find some homemade macaroons straight from her kitchen.
I had two macaroons and a Godiva chocolate for dessert.
The macaroons were fabulous. They were very moist with just the right amount of sweetness. The perfect cookie. I asked Brittany for the recipe and she said it was from the Raw Food/ Real World book.
Talk about a marathon post! Again, so sorry about that. I’ll do better tomorrow. 🙂
Have a great night everyone!
