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...

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...

Growing Alfalfa Sprouts

Well, I gave in. I had a ½ of a warm glazed donut from Shipley’s. J It was soo good! I made a smoothie to keep me full and from eating more donuts. I call it peaches ‘n cream oatmeal smoothie! Peaches ‘n cream oatmeal smoothie 1 cup of peaches ½ cup of raw oats 1 cup of almond milk 1 tablespoon peanut butter Splash of vanilla I liked it, though I thought it was a little thick. I think I will cut back on the oats next time. Lunch was made by Kyle today! He made grilled turkey and swiss on ciabatta bread sandwiches. They were very good! Can you see the Alfalfa sprouts on my sandwich? I grew them this week! It was so easy and I thought I would share with you how you can grow them in your own kitchen as well. I had a friend of mine give me some sprouts last weekend and told me that I should try it out. She had lots of luck in growing hers, so I thought I would try as well. You need: Alfalfa Seeds (You can get them at whole foods in the bulk section) Mason jar and top Some sort of m...
