Hi everyone!

Sorry for not posting the rest of the day yesterday!  This week has been hectic, and I’m taking a half day today – so I’m trying to get a lot of stuff done!   Why am I taking a half day you ask?  (How nice of you!) – Mike and I are celebrating our anniversary a few days early – and we are making a “night out on the town” into an “afternoon and night out on the town”!  I can’t wait!

Let me catch you up on yesterday though.

Lunch – same old salad – and a really blurry picture.  I need a new camera so badly!

I also had a small apple (not pictured) and some carrots and PB – which when I saw this idea on Gliding Calm – I thought ‘EWWWWWWW” – but I  have to agree with the saying – don’t knock it until you’ve tried it!  It’s a fabulous combination! 

For a snack – I figured it was time to try another new Larabar – I went with Ginger Snap!

In all honesty, I wasn’t a fan.  I’m not a huge fan of gingerbread cookies – although I can appreciate the taste.   With this bar – the “ginger” flavor was very potent – it almost had a bite to it.  I know some people may look for that – but not me.  I ended up eating only half of it.

I came home to a package – WHICH ALWAYS MAKES MY DAY BETTER- from my friend Meghan!  She was reading my blog (HI MEGHAN!) and saw I loved Larabars, so she sent me a whole bunch of the white coconut ones that I couldn’t find, as well as the Key Lime WHICH I LOVE!   Thanks Meghan!  You are the best! 

For dinner – I wanted something quick – I didn’t feel like dirtying a bunch of dishes.  So I tried out a new combo I see Caitlin have all the time – sweet potato and black beans.  I added a tiny bit of cheese on top – and some jalapenos!   (And of course a dab of ketchup and a LOAD of Frank’s Hot).  This was AWESOME! It was really nice to have just a tiny bit of sweet from the potato mixed in with the savory and spicy from all the rest of the toppings.  I can totally see this coming into to regular dinner rotation.

With my love – “Frankie” in the background:

That’s about it!  I have a huge apple and one of those cool containers of Fage for breakfast – put I figure today is going to be an eating and drinking extravaganza with me and Mike – so I’ll just make one big monster post tomorrow of all the things I eat today!

Have a great weekend!
