Chewing breakfast and dinner

I’m a little late at posting this but this is yesterday’s adventures through food.
I had the day off so I met Kyle for brunch. He wanted to go to Stoby’s for breakfast. I love Stoby’s but I was a little worried there wouldn’t be anything for me to eat. I thought I would give it a try. I wanted to make the healthiest choice possible but still have something that tastes good; you have to enjoy what you eat! So, I chose this:



I ordered an egg beaters omelet with onions and bell peppers topped with salsa. It came with wheat toast and a side of oatmeal. I ate most of the omelet, 2 pieces of toast and a little of the oatmeal. The omelet was excellent. The veggies were good and crunchy and the salsa was a nice fit. I could tell the oatmeal was homemade but I didn’t have any fruit or almond milk to put in it so I just ate a few bites. You gotta spice up your oatmeal to make it taste good. I love oatmeal and normally eat it just about every morning. Lately I’ve been thinking about how fun it would be to own an oatmeal bar restaurant. You could choose your different toppings and added ingredients. I don’t know how many people would come in but I know I would love it. Speaking of oatmeal, have you seen that McDonalds has oatmeal now? Don’t think I want to try their oatmeal for some reason.
Kyle did not choose the healthy option and went with this.


After brunch I was super full, I hadn’t been this full in 4 days. When I got home I headed out for a run. I decided that since there was a cold front coming in that I better get it in now. I geared up and headed out. I didn’t get very far. I had forgotten how long it had been since I ran ;( The wind was blowing and made for a cold windy painful fun.
I’m going to get back into running shape. Kyle and I are signing up for the Warrior Dash(www.warriordash.com) 5k. I hate running alone but love running in races. This is not your typical 5k. It’s like the Mud Run with a lot more than mud.

We went for a little shopping this afternoon and worked up an appetite. We knew we were going to have a big dinner so we decided to stop in to Whole foods and try a fresh made juice from the juice bar. We met this really nice guy who was very passionate about making juices. While Kyle and I were looking at the menu, he asked if he could give us some suggestions. We said sure! So he told us what his favorite juice was, it was called the Green Goblin (or monster, I can’t remember). It has cucumbers, kale, spinach, and little apple juice. I told him I would try it. He then convinced Kyle to try another one that has garlic, carrots, beats, and orange juice. We waited about 10 min while we whipped up our juices.



We weren’t big fans of either one of the juices. I think they were just a little too far out there for our taste. We wanted the fruity ones but he insisted these tasted better, I guess we know now for next time.

Tonight we went on a double date with some good friends. Olive Garden! We had a great time with these two. I chose the soup and salad. I love their salad and bread sticks but I just ate one bread stick.


This is the chicken and gnocchi soup. It was wonderful!


See you all later for Saturdays adventures.

I love Almond Butter

Hello again! It’s been a busy day for me today but it’s been a good food day. ;) The blender worked out a little better for me this morning. I guess it just needed a little using before I got used to it. I started today with an Energy Smoothie. It was really good. It was my first time trying the spice Cardamom. Energy Smoothie ½ C Almond Butter 1 Teaspoon Ground Cardamom 1 ½ C water 1 C Frozen Peaches 1 to 2 Teaspoons of Agave ½ C Ice I cut this recipe in half. The Cardamom was pretty noticeable. It’s hard to describe but it was a little like cinnamon. I loved the Almond butter. I tried a new brand this time. It was very creaming right out of the refrigerator. I drank most of the smoothie on my way to work. I was pretty hungry when I woke up this morning.  Lacey enjoyed the Mango Smoothe today. Isn't she cute! I had a cup of hot green tea about 8:30. It hit the spot! The smoothie held me over till about 11. When lunch time came around I was hungry. I had to take a quick lunch...

Soba Lo Mein

Is everyone ready for all the snow they say we are going to get tomorrow?  I hope this is the last of it. I’m ready for Spring! Flowers, bike riding, and walks in the park! Tonight I decided to use the Soba noodles I bought back when I couldn’t eat gluten. Soba noodles are made with 100% buckwheat flour and are gluten free. I’ve never tried them but I thought they would taste more like whole wheat noodles which I love. I decided to use my Chicken Lo Mein recipe without the chicken and with Soba instead of whole wheat. They didn’t taste quite like whole wheat noodles. They had the same texture but a really odd after taste. I think I stick to whole wheat from now on. You can make this Lo Mein with whatever noodles you prefer. The peanut sauce mixed with the soy sauce is so good!! I used the following ingredients.   I started out by sautéing some onions and a garlic clove in 2 tablespoons of toasted Asian sesame dressing. While you are cooking your noodles add in the ve...

It's a Mango day!

Hello all! I’m sorry I’m just now posting. I was planning on blogging my meals throughout the day today but that didn’t go as planned. I started the day off by getting up 10 min earlier than my normal day. Alarm went off at 5:20am! It was early and I wanted some coffee. But I settled for a cup up Organic Apple Red tea. It was pretty good and seemed to satisfy my cravings for a hot cup of something. The smoothie I decided to make this morning was the mango smoothie. I started blending it all up and made a huge mess. I think I need to get up an extra 5 min tomorrow. ;) Here are the ingredients: Mango Smoothie 1 ¼ Almond Milk ½ Coconut Water 2 leaves of Kale ¼ Avacado ½ Cup Frozen Mango chunks ½ Cup ice   if needed. I liked it! I think I could have blended it a little longer because I had some chunks of kale but I didn’t mind. It held me over till about 10am. I then decided to have a small handful of sunflower seeds/almonds. Noon! I was ready for lunch. I brought a salad with...
