Hope everyone had a great weekend. Here’s a recap from my Sunday afternoon/evening.
Left- over salmon salad for lunch. I love the details of the front tomato is this photo.
We basically lounged around the house all afternoon, besides going out to get ice-cream. I order a banana ice-cream with peanut butter. A great summer treat. And no worries it didn’t spoil my appetite, I was still hungry for dinner about 1 hour later. Dinner was kind of thrown together. Isaac had steak that needed to be eaten so he was planning on grilling that so I decided to have a veggie burger, this one is Amy’s California Veggie Burger – one of my favorites; although, it makes sense that it’s my fav considering it’s the only Amy’s veggie burger I have tried. I usually stick with Morning Star because they are cheaper and on sale more often. But what I like about this one is the texture – It’s more grainy than the Morning Star burgers, alas it does have more calories as well. I put the burger on an Ezekiel English muffin for a bun with ketchup, avocado, tomato, and baby spinach. We also had some grilled squash and tomatoes. I whipped up my version of:
Tabbouleh Salad
- left over bulger
- tomatoes
- cucumber
- chopped basil
- a few chopped jalapenos (fresh from the garden.. no need to worry),
- some squirts of lime juice
- garlic powder
- S&P
It tasted really fresh and delicious.
I thought for fun, if anyone is interested even slightly that I would post some of my favorite work out songs. I listen to my ipod at the gym and when I am running outside. I get the warnings from the avid runners here in the city that you shouldn’t run with head phones because of the traffic, but I like to have music to keep me pumped up while I run. So I try to turn it on a lower volume, but sometimes I can’t help it and I have to turn it up. I have a very eclectic taste in music as you will see:
- Over and Over Again – Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
- Rebellion (Lies)- Arcade Fire
- Here It Goes Again- Ok Go
- Touchdown Turnaround (Don’t Give Up on Me)- Hellogoodbye
- Subterranean Homesick Blues- Bob Dylan **One of my favorite Bob Dylan songs
- The Yeah Yeah Yeah Song…(With All Your Power) - The Flaming Lips
- It Overtakes Me -The Flaming Lips Fight Test- The Flaming Lips
- I Want You Back- Jackson 5
- Lounge (Closing Time)- Modest Mouse
- Here it Comes- Modest Mouse
- Steady, As She Goes- The Raconteurs
- Brand New Colony- The Postal Service
- Cecilia - Paul Simon (my favorite Paul Simon song)
- Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da - The Beatles
- Eight Days A Week- The Beatles
- Down Under- Men at Work
- Black Tambourine- Beck
- Think I’m in Love- Beck
- The Distance- Cake
- Voodoo Lady- Ween
- Wasted Time- Kings of Leon
- She Moves in Her Own Way- Kooks
- Young Folks- Peter Bjorn and John
- Let’s Spend the Night Together- The Rolling Stones
- Blister in the Sun- Violent Femmes

I love Amy’s veggie burgers for the same reason. The Texas burger is good, but my favorite is the Bistro burger…it is actually lower calorie than the other Amy’ burgers and it’s gluten free.
ahh.. I’ll have to give the Bistro burger a try.
Nice playlist! I love seeing what other people listen to because it gives me such great ideas.
And I like your version of tabbouleh salad!
You have fantastic taste in music! I always find that the Kooks make me move a little faster, whether I’m walking OR running around the city.
Fun songs and great recipe. About the tomato, isn’t it funny how taking picsof your food makes you love it even more?
