Inappropriate Ice

by Eating Bird Food on February 2, 2010

OMG. Just look at the icicles that greeted me as I walked into work this morning.

Dicicles

Sorry in advance, especially if you are new reader, but the only term that could possibly describe this naturally forming phallic phenomena is “dick-cicles”. Really I can’t take credit for coining the term, Isaac is the mastermind behind that one. But seriously, isn’t that the craziest icicle creation you’ve ever seen?!?!?

Okay, now that I got that out of the way – here’s what I ate for breakfast.

Choco-coconut Chia Pudding with chocolate protein powder, coconut flakes, vanilla almond milk, and chia seeds. I made the mix last night and it got all gelatinous overnight, which was perfect because Isaac and I made it to the gym this morning (it wasn’t busy at all… hallelujah!). I took the pudding to work. topped it with a sliced banana and ate it at my desk.

I walked home for lunch annoyed by the every house that didn’t shovel their sidewalk. My normal 5 minute walk home took a whole 10-15 minutes because of them. I got happy and warm with a big bowl of potato soup with added tofu.

I also had a slice of toasted ww sunflower bread with Earth Balance. It wasn’t any pumpkin cornbread, but it was still quite tasty.

I’m not the biggest bread and butter fan, which probably stems from me loving to eat butter plain when I was young (Mom, Dad – why did you let me do this?). However today this little combo totally hit the spot.

I packed a Fruition Cran-Raspberry Bar for an afternoon snackarooney back at the office.

Smart thinking on my part as I was ready for something sweet soon after arriving back to my desk so I ended up gobbling this bar way before my normal snack time. The Cran-Raspberry wasn’t my favorite fruition flavor I’ve tried thus far. I think I like the blueberry best. But it was still tasty and it had chia seeds – which makes it great in my book!

The afternoon at work came and went and before I knew it dinner time had arrived. I prowled around the kitchen and decided to glaze some herbed tofu in the Maple Balsamic Sauce from ED&BV and baked it in the toaster oven.

Along with my delicious little tofu bites I had more potato soup. You know something is good when you choose it eat it for both lunch and dinner!!

It’s actually all gone now so I won’t be boring you all with it any longer. :)

Isaac and I went to see Fantastic Mr. Fox at a cheap theater near our house this evening. It was cute and the animation made it ridiculously fun to watch but I’m glad I only paid $2.00 and brought in my own microwaved popcorn.

See you all tomorrow with something more than potato soup and inappropriateness.

Oh-la-leh and Free Yoga

by Eating Bird Food on January 21, 2010

I managed to pry myself out of bed for an early gym visit this morning. I did 20 minutes of cardio, shoulders, chest, triceps, and some abs. I was starving when I came home and the fastest thing I could throw together ended up being a bowl of kashi go lean, almond milk and 1/2 of a sliced banana.

While at work I had a clementine for a snack. One reason to like winter- clementines are in season. They’re so delicious!

I took my break for lunch late and got a little extra walking in by going to the post-office to ship a package for work before heading home. I made myself one of my all-time favorite sandwiches. A traditional PB and J.

Montana Gold Sunflower Whole Wheat bread with Swanton strawberry olallieberry jam and better n pb. The jar of strawberry olallieberry was a gift I bought Isaac when I was at the San Fran Farmer’s Market for Foodbuzz. Although I had never heard of Olallieberry (pronounced oh-la-leh berry) the name caught my eye and I couldn’t pass it up. I now know that olallieberry looks like an elongated blackberry but is actually a cross between a youngberry and a loganberry. I guess there are a lot of berry crosses out there as I’d never heard of these berries either, both of which are blackberries hybrids as well.

This sandwich was exactly what I wanted for lunch and I absolutely loved the whole sunflower seeds in the bread!

I didn’t have to worry about dinner as I had a lovely bowl of homemade soup waiting for me when I got home. Isaac brought home butternut squash and mushroom soup that one of this co-workers made from ingredients in her garden.
