Bean Head

T minus one until Friday. I’m pumped. We have a wedding to attend on Saturday in Virginia Beach and the bride and groom at hosting their own Run/Walk to the Alter 5k Saturday afternoon. I don’t know if I am going to be there in time to run the race (plus my left knee is swollen ???), but I think it’s a very cool idea.

Anyhow, yesterday my company went out to lunch at PF Chang’s. We were celebrating an award the company received as well as sending off an employee who was leaving to take a full time position elsewhere. I love PF Changs so I was v. excited we went there. The table ordered lettuce wraps (chicken and veggie). I LOVE the vegetarian lettuce wraps – I usually contemplate getting the wraps for my meal every time I go.

Needless to say, I had two of those oh so yummy wraps. I strayed from my normal Buddha’s Feast and ordered the Bikini Shrimp Salad as my meal (hey, it’s almost summer right?)

The salad had a ton of spring mix, about 6 large shrimp, watermelon balls, and some toasted walnuts. I ordered the dressing on the side and ended up using a bit of it. I couldn’t tell exactly what it was, but it definitely had a citrus look and taste. Overall, the salad was pretty good, but I missed Buddha.

And for a quick recap of today’s eats.

Oatmeal/ oat bran combo with 1/2 a banana cooked right in, sprinkles of a few walnuts on top and  a spoonful of better n pb.

I ran, and by ran I mean walked, home for lunch and prepped a quick salad.

I used my last slice of Tofurkey (gotta get more of that!) and topped the salad mix of romaine, cucs, tomatoes, and carrots with TJ’s edamame hummus instead of dressing. I had some deliciously ripe cantalope on the side!

After work I headed straight to the gym and decided to have beans with a side of beans aka edamame and a black bean burger for dinner.

I’m still eating the combo black/garbanzo bean burgers I made a few weeks ago and froze. It’s the perfect meal when I want something fast. I topped the burger with left over guac and a slice of tomato. There was also a hidden pile of ketchup on the side. Perfection!

A couple people having been wondering what Olive has been up to. Well, she’s lost 2 baby teeth (we found them on the couch this week). I’m not sue if that’s the reason behind this little smile of hers or not?

She’s also been doing a lot of this:
