Today has been raining on and off here in the DC area, and rain does one thing to me…makes me SLEEPY! It makes me want to go home, curl up on the couch with a big comfy blanket and watch movies. BUT NOOO..I have to be a grown up and Work. I keep reminding myself that you have Bills to pay Lauren, you have bills to pay.
Lunch was more leftover Healthy Eggplant Parmesan from the other night. Have I a mentioned yet how good this is? WOW! Every time I taste it, its just as good as the last (or even better). I added some Kale on the side from the Organic Store.
For snack today I needed something a little more hearty then my other snacks. I needed some protein. I had some fake crab on these cool new crackers.
At first bite these crackers are interesting and weird. I felt like I was eating bird food!
But they started growing on me. I really liked the ingredients, and how healthy they were for you. And best of all I LOVED the spiciness they had from the black pepper.
That snack filled me up for a while and kept me going today. Later I had some juicy grapes right before dinner.
Dinner was quick and easy tonight. I bought the Kashi microwaveable dinners for nights like tonight. Nights were I don’t feel like cooking, I don’t have much food at home, and I wanted to eat before I left work. When I work till 7 I never feel like cooking when I get home because then by the time I eat, clean up, and sit down to relax, it’s already 9pm! I hate short nights. So I try to bring something to eat at work that way I can just relax when I get home.
The only problem with this is sometimes I don’t bring enough food, and by the time I get home I’m hungry again. Take last night for instance-I ravaged through the pantry and fridge to see what I can eat and ended up overeating! So hopefully my dinner is a little more balanced, and I will practice willpower tonight.
This Kashi dinner was AWESOME!!!!!
When I lived in LA I got hooked on Thai Lemongrass soup, and now I love anything and everything lemongrass or coconut. So this was PERFECT for me. This dinner was bursting with flavor, pretty filling, and tasted great! I will surely be buying more of these in the future! YUMO!
Now its off to drive home in the rain and FINALLY curl up on the couch under a big comfy blanket. I can NOT wait!
