is never a bad idea! Especially if you take him to Whole Food’s and he cooks you a lovely meal!
One of Isaac’s good friends, who happened to be staying with us this weekend, is a chef at Dove Tail, a three star restaurant in NYC. Unfortunately I’ve never been there, but if I’m ever in NYC I’d absolutely love to go on a Monday night for their Vegan/Vegetarian Menu.
So like any good friends would do, we took the chef to Whole Foods. He picked out the freshest looking fish and came up with an idea for dinner right there on the spot.
The end result:
Roasted Dover Sole rolled and placed upon a fried potato nest, topped with tangerine segments, Picholine olives and alfalfa sprouts. Finished off with a sprinkle of Matte (tea) spice with a base dressing of curried Greek yogurt.
I wanted to be part of dinner so I decided to make a nice veggie side dish inspired by M Cafe’s Kale with Spicy Peanut Sauce.
I’d mentioned to Lynn that I loved the kale with peanut sauce that I tried at M Cafe while in L.A., she sent me this video and I came up with my own version of the recipe. I’m saving the recipe for a guest post I’m doing so I’ll be sure to let you know when it posts!
Sunday morning I had a Chocolate Cherry Bomb in a bowl and topped it with a little Zaydie’s.
I finally found frozen cherries (thank’s Whole Foods) so I was able to follow the recipe to a T, only no hemp seeds because I’m all out. :/ The smoothie was “da bomb”, per the usual. I loved eating it like soup – it takes long and fills me up more than sipping it quickly through a straw.
For lunch I made a huge salad with spring mix, plain herbed fu’, red onion, raw shrooms, cabbage, cucumbers, broccoli, and sprouts.
I topped it with some left over peanut dressing from the kale and it was amazing. So so tasty.
After joking with the Fitnessista on twitter about wanting her to train me, I left for my first personal training session at my gym. It went well- I told the trainer my goals and he showed me exercises that will help me reach them while also demonstrating the proper form for each exercise. This was the most help part, as I realized that I wasn’t doing all my exercises with the most accurate form. I’m already sore today!!!!
I packed a PB&J on Rudi’s Spelt Ancient Grain bread for the car ride to the services for my aunt.
The bread is buttery, yet seedy and soft. This little gem was the perfect thing to hold me over and keep my happy while in traffic. 
Today is going to be a long day so I better get going. Tell your family you love them today and have a great one!
