Trader Joe’s Brittany’s Blend

Trader Joes Takes the Day

by eatingbirdfood on October 1, 2008

So a new Trader Joe’s opened close to my house this weekend. This is awesome because I will no longer have to bring a cooler when we go to DC or Fairfax. In the spirit of newness I decided I would try something I hadn’t had before:

Munchin’ Mix: Sprouted adzuki beans, lentils and peas.

I really like them, they are crunchy and earthy tasting and quite delicious plain or in salad. This spinach salad was packed from home for lunch.

Along with a cheese stick, TJs greek yogurt with honey (which I hadn’t had before either, and I loved this btw – I definitely need to go back and stock up) I mixed the granola in the yogurt and had TJ’s Antioxidant Trail mix on the side. The protein water was for a mid-morning snack.

I had some snacks between lunch and dinner. WW icecream from the work freezer, and some soy rice crisps before the gym. OH and I got my body fat tested at the gym today. It made me feel better, although it was my first time so I don’t really have much to compare it to, besides the fact sheet from the gym.

When I got home Isaac prepared a lovely and quick dinner. TJ’s canned lentil soup served in a green pepper (with a flower on top, of course). Brittany’s Blend ( I like to think these veggies were made for me) veggies and shrimp! He said he was going to tell me he prepared the lentil soup himself.. too bad it took 5 minutes to heat up and not even Rachael Ray could cook lentil soup that fast. But overall, he did a good job.

I had a bowl of cereal for a snack and then some TJ’s Simply the Best trail mix!! This kind used to be my favorite, but I’ve found that lately I tend to eat all the pineapples and dried cranberries and leave the cashews and almonds. I should probably just buy some dried fruit instead.

p.s. I had oatmeal for breakfast.. exactly the same as yesterday

Cereal Snacker

by eatingbirdfood on July 23, 2008

Overall I had a pretty good day except for the fact that I had been wanting to make it to the gym all day and then finally got motivated and out of my house about 5PM. This was unfortunate, considering I arrived at the exact same time the 9-5 crowd arrives and the place was slammed. I should totally be taking full advantage of being able to go during work hours. Then all the good magazines will be available and I can pick a special treadmill, out of the 20 that will be free. I think that is my plan for tomorrow, or maybe I will go to a class that I haven’t been able to go to before.

For dinner I made an Amy’s California Veggie Burger. I really like these, but they are more expensive so I only buy them on they are on sale. I placed the burger on half of an Eziekel English Muffin with ketchup,tomato, lettuce, onions and mushrooms. On the side I had Brittany’s Blend of Trader Joe’s veggies and some peas.

Dinner was good, and I was full, but to continue with the theme of today: oh did I forget to tell you the theme, how could I? It’s eat a ton of Barbara’s Shredded Oats Cereal day.

It’s actually the first time I bought a new flavor of Barbara’s Shredded Oats- Cinnamon Crunch. It’s pretty good, but I think the I like the original flavor better, although you wouldn’t guess this by the amount I have consumed over the past 2 days. I bought the box Sunday night and tonight there isn’t enough for a whole bowl of cereal left in the box, this wouldn’t be a huge problem except that I didn’t eat the cereal for breakfast today or yesterday… get my point? Here’s the box:

Creature of Habit

June 19, 2008

I’ve eaten the same breakfast for 3 days straight and now for dinner I am eating something very similar to last nights dinner. Lucky for you all, It won’t be 3 days of veggie burgers because I ate the last one tonight. With Brittany’s Blend (made for me… ) of veggies from Trader Joe’s mixed [...]
