Falafel Pitas

Today was your average lazy Sunday. All wasn’t lost though because I did get some school work done, made my way to the gym, and prepared a fab din for Isaac and I.

Lunch was an avocado massaged kale salad with red onion, locally grown tomatoes, green peppers, and cucumbers (love that Isaac’s parents have a garden!!), nutritional yeast, sea salt and ground pepper.

With a small bowl of Amy’s Black Bean Soup. Not going to lie, I think I might have a small crush on Amy.

I finished off lunch with an organic white nectarine. I bought this on a whim at the grocery store on Friday and I’m so happy I did. It was delish.

Plus, the insides matched my nail polish….

After lunch I changed from my pajamas into my workout clothes (told ya it was a lazy sunday). Too bad I ended up just lounging around the house until 4PM. I’m known for doing this on the weekend. I wake up and get dressed in my workout clothes with all intentions of going to the gym right after eating breakfast. Then I get distracted, either by things online (twitter anyone?) or household stuff like cleaning and laundry. It’s basically me wearing my workout gear all day to remind myself to go to the gym… Kind of funny. But actually I love wearing workout gear- it’s comfy and yoga pants make my butt look good. If I could, I would totally wear them to work. We have a very causal dress code at my office, but I haven’t tried wearing yoga pants just yet.

Once home from my afternoon sweat sess I went to work making dinner. I took the advice from my readers and made a tzatziki sauce to go with the Falafel Sunshine burgers.

The ingredients included garlic, cucumbers, lemon juice, Fage greek yogurt, and S&P.

I also added a little feta cheese to the tzatziki for a nice twist.

Falafel Pitas- EBF Style

I cut two pitas in half and put a thin layer of hummus on one side. I added the burger, tomato, red onion, and romaine lettuce and then topped it all with a blob of tzatziki.

They turned out perfect, maybe not quite as good as the Amsterdam Falafel Shop at 1 am after a night of binge drinking, but still pretty darn tasty and much healthier.

Isaac and sat down to a romantic falafel dinner while watching last week’s episode of Next Food Network Star. Guess I’ll be watching tonight’s episode sometime later this week- I’m always behind on watching my DVRed shows (and I don’t even have that many). I’m not a big TV person and whenever I do actually watch tv I like to multitask. It drives Isaac nuts.

Off to get ready for the work week. Hope everyone had a fabulous weekend.
