A Day of Unplanned Meals

Happy Friday everyone! I don’t know about you but I was ready for this weekend.

Today there was no planning involved in my meals. It started out with Starbucks.

I had a tall cup of coffee with cream and oatmeal with brown sugar and nut topping.

I love this breakfast. Even though their oatmeal is instant, it’s still a pretty good bowl of oats. I love that they have the toppings separate so you can fix it however you would like. It guess that’s why it’s called “perfect” oatmeal.

Lunch had to be fast because I had a doctor’s appointment. So I went with Lenny’s Subs.

I chose a turkey sandwich on whole wheat with all the veggies except onion and peppers. I ate most of it but their sandwiches are just so big that I couldn’t eat it all. I enjoyed every bite.

I had another grapefruit for a snack around 3:30.

This is how I slurp my grapefruit.

Tonight Kyle and I knew we wanted to go out to eat somewhere but just didn’t know where to go. We sat around trying to agree on a place. We finally decided on Bruno’s; it was a great pick!

I have been there once before but it was probably about 4 or 5 years ago. We love supporting locally owned restaurants. The experience didn’t start off so well. We were seated and served bread and water. Then we waited and waited and waited and no one ever came to take our order. Finally our waitress came over and apologized for not being there sooner. Here is what we ordered:

We also had a few slices of:

It turned out being a really nice dinner.

Shipley’s just opened up in Maumelle and it’s calling my name! Kyle keeps saying he wants to go tomorrow but I really want to stay away. Let see if this happens.

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...
