I decided that I wanted to change things up a bit this morning with a sweet and savory combo, instead of my normal oats I had half an Ezekiel Sprout Grain muffin smeared with half a laughing cow cheese wedge, 2 egg whites (A tiny bit of yolk cracked in and two whites wouldn’t fit on top of the muffin so the rest is in the background of the pict.), and a Morningstar veggie pattie. The other half of the muffin was on the sweet side with some pecan pumpkin butter. The pumpkin butter side was like having a breakfast dessert.
I had a lunch meeting at work today and we went to Can Can, this cute French restaurant close to my office. I didn’t take a photo but I ordered the half seasonal soup with half of a seasonal sandwich. I started to call it the “you pick two” when I went to order- opps- wrong restaurant! I got the Cauliflower and Fennel Soup (Cauliflower crisps and Pickled Fennel) and the Roasted Portobella Sandwich (arugula Pesto, Fontina Cheese, Garbanzo beans & carrot salad). It was so good. I have to admit the first time I went there I wasn’t that impressed but today’s meal was absolutely fabulous. It’s a bummer I didn’t get a photo because the meal was plated nicely.
Tonight ended up being Trader Joe’s Wednesday. I started with spicy black bean dip and baked chips- both from TJ’s.
The dip is delicious. The chips are just okay- not my favorite baked variety. They are a little bland.
Lastly I had a salad with TJ’s lettuce and broccoli slaw, tomatoes, broccoli, and avocado. All this topped with TJ’s Goddess Dressing!
I’ve also been snacking tonight- I had a skinny cow ice cream bar and some granola mix that Isaac created using Pumpkin Flax granola, kashi go lean, and raisins- great combo, but addicting.
I went to the gym today after work and for some reason it was so busy. It’s been really busy lately around 6, but never to the point were I couldn’t get a treadmill- which is what happened today. Is anyone else experiencing the busy gym?
P.S. IT SNOWED HERE TODAY!! I’m so ready for Spring weather I wasn’t even that excited, however it was pretty walking to work in the snow.

I like the sweet and savory combo! Perfect for people like me who can’t decide!
Maybe the crowded gym is because the recent warm weather reminded people summer is coming!
Yum, egg sandwiches are the best!
Awh, sorry to hear about the snow. I want SPRING!
I am so ready for spring. We finally had a nice day today (it’s been raining) and I realized how much I miss the sun and warm weather!
My gym is almost always busy around that time, and there is never any parking either, which is why I don’t go after work.
Spicy bean dip?? Yes, please!!
Ugh, SOOOO much snow here
Hang in there!!
I love that TJ’s dip! I have put it on basically anything you can name – but with pretzels is my fav!
I have never eaten at Can Can, I am a bit intimidated by the menu. We were just there on Saturday and it was PACKED to the gills with people. I wanted to go in just for dessert but it was too crowded.
The snow is here too
BOO!! I want it OUT!
Lunch sounds amazing!!
I love having a little dessert with my breakfast…and I’m totally loving all of your TJ’s action. Trader Joe’s is the best, hands down!
My gym is never really crowded, but I try to go at odd hours. I usually just run into all the mom’s.
Have a good Thursday!
Yum! Black bean dip! I am ready for Spring too!
Now that the resolution gym rush has ended the get in shape for spring break/winter vaca rush has begun.
That spicy bean dip looks sooo good
Is it really spicy? I love spicy food haha. TJs is seriously the best place on earth. Have a good one!!
