TGIF

Yay for Fridays! Particularly for Fridays and weekends that I don't have to work! I don't have much to say today. After being 45 and rainy here in Vegas yesterday, it's 75 and sunny once again and in the 80's this weekend. I just got my hair done, my little surgery boo boo is feeling so much better, and I'm ready for some fun this weekend. So without further ado, here are my food. My cameras was dead most of yesterday so please excuse my iPhone photos. :-)

Now for my Eats!

Yesterdays breakfast was a whole wheat english muffin with a Laughing Cow wedge and 2oz smoked salmon. 

 Snack was airplane peanuts! :-)

At lunch time it was pouring rain and I had just the cure for it.

I had bought this at Whole Foods sometime back and was waiting for a perfect cold weather day to enjoy it. It tasted like a grown up version of Cambell's Bean with Bacon soup I ate as a kid. Very yummy! I spiced it up with some sriracha and fresh ground pepper, and had some whole wheat crackers and Laughing Cow wedge on the side.

 I was still a little hungry so I snacked on the rest of the roasted veggies from the night before.

After work yesterday I hit the gym for 60 minutes of cardio on the elliptical. I feel like I'll be up for some running this weekend! :-) After the gym I snacked on some chips and salsa and my Amazing Grass-wanna-be.

For dinner I decided to cook some frozen spinach & cheese raviolis. I had bought these back before I ran my half and hadn't made them. I decided to throw together a little sauce with beans for some extra protein


Several cloves of garlic in a teaspoon of evoo, the rest of the bell peppers and tomatoes, and a can of crushed tomatoes. Simmer for 40 minutes or so.

Boil water for pasta and then add beans to sauce.

And in the end you have, TA-DA!!

I also made this salad on the side with Romain lettuce, beets, artichoke hearts and goat cheese. The dressing is a dollop of Greek yogurt, a dab of Dijon, and a big squeeze of lemon juice. Perfect!

Breakfast this am was cottage cheese with cumin. Simple.

And I had this snack on the way to get my hair done. I gotta say, I don't think I'm a fan of Larabars.

And then at 2pm when my appointment was finally over I had this for lunch. A 6' buffalo chicken from Subway, loaded with lots of veggies and topped with honey mustard. Also had a side of Baked Lays and light lemonade.

That's all, I'm off for the weekend!

What's your favorite food to grab on the go or when you are in a hurry?

Dotting my I's and crossing my T's

Getting ready for my race! My mom flew in last night and today we've just been running errands and getting everything ready for tomorrow.

Here's my eats. Lunch yesterday was a salad and a piece of toast with Laughing Cow wedge and smoked salmon.

Salad had arugula, tomatoes, roasted red peppers, artichoke hearts, asparagus, onion, and 6 bean salad.

Then I had two squares of this as a snack.

After work I chopped up some carrots and celery to keep on hand for snacks.

And made this dip with Greek yougurt

plus these spices

And then I made some kale chips! These are amazingly delicious! You just tear the kale into bite size pieces and coat them with a little bit of olive oil.

Then you roast them at 375* for 10-15 minutes and you get these! Wow! These are great!!

For dinner I mixed up the the leftovers from the other night with a little bit of almond milk and cajun spice, added some more mushrooms and some spinach. Plus I cooked up this tuna steak.

Breakfast this morning was 1 egg + 1 egg white, half whole wheat english muffin, Laughing Cow Wedge, and smokes salmon. Yummy!

I also had some coffee. My mom had used the last of the milk so I thought maybe I'd experiment with yogurt. A little chunky... but still tasted okay.

I had a light lunch since I knew I would be having an early and big dinner. I had this green monster that I made with one banana, some frozen blueberries, big scoop of almond butter, scoop of SF Quick, 1/2 cup almond milk, and a big handful of spinach.

And the Easter Bunny (aka Mom) brought me these cute spatulas!

For my big dinner we had Thai Yellow Curry! This was so yummy and so easy! First we steamed the potatoes, carrots and onions.

We had bought some precooked shrimp.

And then we mixed some yellow curry with a can of light coconut milk.

Final outcome, served over brown rice, deliciousness!!!

I have everything laid out for tomorrow. Go 79!!! This was everything in my goodie bag.

I was actually excited to see that these FUBAR bar and drink were both organic, raw and natural. I'll let you know how it taste. And I got this sexy shirt.

I'm off to bed! Wish me luck tomorrow!!!
