Pump up the Jams

by eatingbirdfood on August 4, 2008

Hope everyone had a great weekend. Here’s a recap from my Sunday afternoon/evening.

Left- over salmon salad for lunch. I love the details of the front tomato is this photo.

We basically lounged around the house all afternoon, besides going out to get ice-cream. I order a banana ice-cream with peanut butter. A great summer treat. And no worries it didn’t spoil my appetite, I was still hungry for dinner about 1 hour later. Dinner was kind of thrown together. Isaac had steak that needed to be eaten so he was planning on grilling that so I decided to have a veggie burger, this one is Amy’s California Veggie Burger – one of my favorites; although, it makes sense that it’s my fav considering it’s the only Amy’s veggie burger I have tried. I usually stick with Morning Star because they are cheaper and on sale more often. But what I like about this one is the texture – It’s more grainy than the Morning Star burgers, alas it does have more calories as well. I put the burger on an Ezekiel English muffin for a bun with ketchup, avocado, tomato, and baby spinach. We also had some grilled squash and tomatoes. I whipped up my version of:

Tabbouleh Salad 

  • left over bulger
  • tomatoes
  • cucumber
  • chopped basil
  • a few chopped jalapenos (fresh from the garden.. no need to worry), 
  • some squirts of lime juice
  • garlic powder
  • S&P  

It tasted really fresh and delicious.

I thought for fun, if anyone is interested even slightly that I would post some of my favorite work out songs. I listen to my ipod at the gym and when I am running outside. I get the warnings from the avid runners here in the city that you shouldn’t run with head phones because of the traffic, but I like to have music to keep me pumped up while I run. So I try to turn it on a lower volume, but sometimes I can’t help it and I have to turn it up. I have a very eclectic taste in music as you will see:
