Whole Foods Kind Of Day

Today was a pretty typical day. I feel like I don’t really ever have anything exciting to talk about on here except  food. LOL I guess that means that I love food too much.

Breakfast started out with a bowl of oats. I did instant oats since I was eating breakfast at work. I usually eat breakfast at work because I don’t ever feel like eating at 6:30 in the morning. I usually end up eating about 7:30 or 8:00.

I ate a bowl of Mom’s Best oatmeal. I found this brand this last year and I like it better than the Kashi oatmeal.

I don’t know if you can read it but check out those ingredients. This is the main reason I love this oatmeal. The ingredient list is short and everything that’s added is good for you! AND it taste good as well. This is the maple and brown sugar flavor but I also enjoy the apple cinnamon as well.

I like to go out to eat at least once a week. I was lazy last night and didn’t fix anything for lunch today so I decided to go out. I wanted to use the gift card Kyle gave me for Christmas. So, I went to Whole Foods! I LOVE to people watch here. There are so many different types of people that shop here!

I was really craving a fresh wrap. So I had them make me a wrap on a spinach tortilla +ham+ provolone+ sprouts+ lettuce+ tomato + ranch.

I was also craving a little something from the cold bar. I went with the Sea and Garden salad! It had lots of yummy goodness. It consisted of wheatberry, brown rice, wild rice, bell pepper, green onion, seaweed, cashews and an Asian type dressing.

It never fails, I always have to get a Sweet Leaf green tea when I go in there. I enjoyed eating this while people watching a little.

Oh and I also forgot to add that the girl making my wrap took her little ole time making it which I don’t mind because she was obviously perfecting it, but she had to chase me down because she left out the ham. It was worth the wait! It was so good that I couldn’t finish it all and had the other half for dinner!

So sweet and juicy!!

I downloaded the Windows Live Writer and am writing my first post using it. It makes it so much easier! I love it so far. Do any of you other bloggers use it?

    That cold salad looks so good. Would be perfect to make a lot of and take it for lunch over a few days. I am bringing a grapefruit with me tomorrow and plan to cut it up Mona style!

Day 1–Have a Headache Already

Happy New Year to everyone! Day 1 of the detox started today. It’s been pretty tough,I’m not gonna lie. I went to Whole Foods and Walmart yesterday to get all the fruits and vegetables I needed for the week. I’ve had a headache all day due to the lack of caffeine. I really don’t drink but maybe a cup and a half of coffee and a glass of tea a day. But I sure did miss it today. This morning I got up to help in the nursery at church. I made the Antioxidant smoothie. You can find the recipe here . It was really good, a little tart but not bad. When I got to the church I got a cup of unsweetened green tea (no caffeine) so I could convince myself it was a cup of coffee. The tea and smoothie held me over till about 11:30. I made a nice little salad for lunch with water with of couple apples thrown in. My salad had spinach, avocado, cucumbers, carrots, cherry tomatoes, and pumpkin seeds dressed with balsamic vinaigrette I did get pretty hungry this afternoon so I made the roasted chi

Vanilla Bean Almond Butter

I don’t know about you but I LOVE nut butters. I have never made my own because I didn’t realize out easy it was. I’m telling ya, everyone can make nut butter as long as you have a decent food processor and there's not turning back. I’ve had some left over vanilla beans from the vanilla I made a while back and wanted to use them, so I decided to use them in the almond butter. I made this about a week ago and it’s already half gone! It’s like a yummy creamy dessert. Once you try fresh pure nut butters you will never go back to store bought. Only 3 ingredients and no added oils! So here it goes: Start out by toasting your almonds until they start to smell yummy. Pour your almonds in the food processer and start to process. You will need to process for 8 to 10 minutes and stop several times to scrape down the sides, so be patient. Stage 1 Stage 2- Powder Stage 3-The natural oil starts to come out and its starts to ball up. Stage 4-Almost there, just a f

Italian Sausage and Tortellini Soup

Today was a great day! I didn’t have to work and I got to spend it with Kyle!! He is leaving tonight to go to Colorado to ski with the boys. I’m excited that he is getting to finally go skiing. He hasn’t been in a few years and has been itching to go. I relaxed, cooked, ate, and got my oil changed. Good day! I made some treats for Kyle on his road trip but I’m not going to share it with you till tomorrow, so stay tuned. This morning was a pancake morning! I’ve been wanting to make some pancakes with whole grain oats so I thought I would experiment a little. I started with Bob’s Mill whole grain pancake mix. I added egg+ vanilla coconut milk+ oats+ chia seeds. Topped with Almond butter and frozen strawberries nooked in the microwave!  I love to add chia seeds to my oatmeal and anything I can add them to. I buy them in the bulk section at Whole Foods. Chia seeds provide fiber, protein, and antioxidants. It’s just a little added benefit! Lunch was spent at Genghis Grill. We wer
