Mail Time!

Yesterday I continued with trying to use up my Joseph’s lavash bread and decided to have a sweet/savory wrap after hitting up the gym (in the am AGAIN!!!).

The lavash has Trader Joe’s SF Blackberry preserves smeared on with 1 egg white and 1 Morningstar Veggie Sausage pattie. I’m all for sweet and savory combo so this wrap was a winner in my book.

Lunch consisted of more wrapage. This time with a hummus spread, Tofurkey, spinach, tomatoes, onions, and some jalopenos for a kick.

Today was full of repeats: I decided to combine my lunch ingredients in a different way to make dinner. Additions included 1/2 an avocado and TJ’s goddess dressing, subtractions included lavash bread, hummus, and (Hickory Smoked) Tofurkey.

I had been wanting to try Newman’s Own Organic Hermits for so long.

So I had one after din. Oh so molassesely (I’m certain this is not a word, but it could be if I added it to addictionary.com- a site for word lovers to showcase and market their cleverness and creativity to the world. Erin, I’m pretty sure this site was made for you.)

Back to the Hermits: these are basically a chewy cookie, about the size of a fig newton (or fig newman rather), with raisins and a strong molasses flavor. They remind me of a molasses chew cookie, which I love. YUM!

SATURDAY:

This morning Isaac and I woke up around 7:30, well rested and ready to take on the day. I made a quick bowl of kashi go lean, chocolate protein powder, and unsweetened almond milk.

And some dried berries on the side:

After hitting up the gym, I came home, carved a fresh pineapple and then went to buy some new running shoes. I had trained for both a half marathon and a 10k in my current Asics so I went to the running store to find a new pair. I ended up getting the same version of my old shoe, just the new style. I think I’ve done this about 6 times since I’ve been running. I really like Asics so I just stick with what works.

The perks of being a blogger =  fun mail!! Today I got a package from Laura, a blog reader, who was intersted in doing a bar exchange.

She sent me a Clif MoJo Bar and some Soy Joy, Zoe’s, and Keribar bars. I’m pumped because I haven’t tried the Zoe’s or KeriBar before. And she also included some coupons. Thanks so much Laura!

And then I also recieved my sample from Barney Butter and a coupon for a free Kashi frozen entree. I love getting mail no matter whay, but today’s mail was a food lovers dream!

I’m out to watch some b-ball with mr. Isaac and ms. olive. She got a bath today so she is smelling all fresh and clean.

I hope you all are having a lovely weekend.
