Stranger Things Have Happened

by eatingbirdfood on July 27, 2009

I think I captured all my eats today, which is rare, because normally I don’t have the time to take a picture of every little thing I eat, plus some stuff just isn’t really blog worthy.

Today’s breakfast = totally blog worthy. Chia Seed Oats.

Notice the congealedness today? It’s because I actually let them sit for about 10 minutes before digging in. I am usually starving and have no patience to wait.

Work went well for a Monday morning and I walked home for lunch per the usual. I put the left over tzatziki to good use and made little pita triangles with hummus, tomato, red onion, avocado, and the tzatziki.

These little babies were so easy and so GOOD! The pitas that I used are awesome because they don’t break apart when you stuff them like most other pita breads do. They’re Joseph’s Middle East Bakery Low Carb Pitas. I’ve talked about Joseph before when I tried his lavash bread. Now it looks like the domain for his website has expired. I’m wondering if they are still in business? I surely hope so, because I’ll be quite sad if I can’t find these pitas anymore.

With lunch I also had the rest of the Amy’s Black Bean Soup from yesterday.

And some fresh cherries (this plate X 2). Gotta love fresh cherries!

Once back at the office I got right to work and by mid afternoon the trail mix was calling my name. I had one small handful.

And then another.

And I may or may not have gone back for a few more pieces. I’ll keep ya guessing!

After eating the mix I wasn’t satisfied and decided to eat the snack I had brought from home – another flavor of Rachel’s Cottage Cheese – Pear Mangosteen this time!

This one lived up to it’s name. It was wickedly delicious. It probably had something to do with the sweetness, as this one had double the sugar in comparison with the one with red pepper. But, I tend to like fruit with cottage cheese so I’m not surprised I like the Pear Mangosteen better.

This evening I decided to go shopping in lieu of hitting up the gym. It was for good reason. I have a wedding to attend Saturday and I bought this dress over the weekend but I need a new pair of shoes. I found a pair tonight at DSW that I thought would work perfect. Too bad I got home and tried them on with the dress and I wasn’t in love with how they looked together. Oh well, I guess I might have to go shopping again… how very sad. :)

Once home, Olive and I went for a walk while I baked some sweet potato fries.

With the fries I had a veggie egg with sauteed summer squash, red onion, green pepper, and hot salsa.

It was a great little dinner. I love love love having breakfast for dinner. It’s been one of my favorite meals since childhood.

Keeping with the breakfast theme I also had a small mug of kashi go lean, a sliced berry and unsweetened almond milk for a snack.

Totally hit the spot. I’m off to read and try to get to hit the sack early. I was up much of last night due to a huge storm that came through. Every few seconds my entire bedroom was lit up from the lightening. Plus, Isaac had already left for DC so I only had little Olive to snuggle. I’m not usually scared of storms, but trust me this one was on the intense side.

Good night friends!

Wining and Blogging

by eatingbirdfood on July 25, 2009

How’s it going party people? I’m doing grand for a Saturday night – drinking a glass of Spanish red wine and just finished eating some cottage cheese- strange combo I know, but I needed some protein in my life.

This was my first time trying Rachel’s Cottage Cheese. I’m not going to lie, the main reason that I was enticed to buy it because it was on sale at Kroger. Plus it has the words “Wickedly Delicious” on the package so you pretty much can’t go wrong. You probably should check out the website because the kaleidoscope opener is pretty sweet.

To be honest, maybe I’m lacking some taste buds but I didn’t really taste the red peppers. I could see that red peppers were in there but I could only really taste the saltiness of the cottage cheese. It was still good, but not overly flavorful in the red pepper department. I bought 2 other flavors – the cucumber and dill and the pear mangosteen so we’ll see how it goes.

Paired with the red wine. Perfect dinner. I’m only teasing, but really I snacked all day and wasn’t very hungry for dinner so this is basically snack number 15 of the day.

Earlier I did have a real lunch of kale covered with a balsamic salad.

The cucumber, tomato balsamic salad sort of happened haphazardly last night. I had 2 tomatoes and 1 large cucumber from Isaac’s family’s garden that needed to be use so I threw the ingredients listed below into a bowl and let it marinate overnight.

  • raw corn of the cob
  • tomato
  • spring onion
  • cucumber
  • balsamic vinegar
  • stevia
  • S & P

It turned out to be quite delicious. When I make it again I’ll be sure to measure out the ingredients so I can actually call it a recipe :)

I also had a real breakfast! You guessed it, another tasty purple smoothie. Same combo as the past 4 mornings, only this time I didn’t have to put it in a to-go cup and run out the door to work. Sitting on one of my favorites SELF Magazine.

After breakfast I had to take my car to get inspected- she passed! I fell asleep at Infiniti dealership while waiting for my car to finish. I couldn’t help it, they had comfy leather seats. After my little nap I headed to the gym. I had a great leg workout – day 4 from week 1 of the the summer-shape up. I can’t believe it’s almost over! I’ve saved all the workouts so I’ll definitely be doing them on my own.

I took this cute photo of Olive and I thought you all might like it.

Don’t let her fool you, she is not shy!

Well, my glass of wine is gone now…. time for a refill.

Hope everyone has a good night!
