Happily Stressed

November 18, 2009 | Filed in: Uncategorized

Hi you wonderful strangers!

Work has been so busy – but I’m a glutton for punishment, and I totally thrive on it – so while I’ve been missing you guys (and blog reading!) – I’ve been happily stressed (is there such a thing?! )

Did ya’ll hear the big news? I now work with Taylor Swift!

Monday we lost internet connection for 2 hours (which had me pacing at one point because I did not have 2 hours of my day to lose!) – so to “calm myself down” (hello, emotional eating?) – I experimented with 2 new foods – Lindt Touch of Sea Salt, and my first batch of PB2 (thanks Kelly for letting me try it!)

Both were quite delicious!

Going back to losing 2 hours of my day…

Losing those hours on Monday put me so far behind, and stressed me out so much – that this may or may not have been my dinner Monday night.

Who can say really?

Yesterday – I switched things up and started my day with some Cinnamon Toast Crunch Naturals Toasted Cinnamon Squares

Reminded me of being a kid again!

For lunch I got gourmet (for me!) – and had some spaghetti squash with sun dried tomatoes (ever since Brandi had them I’ve been CRAVING them!):

with a side of cukes (Mike just cringed because I said that), pretzels, and Bothouse Creamy Italian:

For a snack – I broke into some of my wonderful swag from the Foodbuzz Festival:

But I must say – this was a big fail for Frog Hollow Farm! I gave these pieces of dried fruit a chance (this was my 2nd attempt at eating them) – but it’s not just that they are discolored:

They actually tasted BURNT.

And while I don’t have any fancy schmancy article to link to – I know there are studies out there that say eating BURNT food is bad for you because you are potential ingesting carcinogens (Oh yeah, and it tastes like crap). So into the garbage they went.

Snack time – take 2 – Tropical City! (oh man – I’m getting loopy… )

Pineapple Coconut Yogurt (topped with some Annie’s bunnies from the lovely Danica and polished off with a Lime Zevia!)

For dinner – I wanted something FRESH AND HEALTHY, not just because I’m FINALLY trying to get back on track from San Fran (yeah – a full week ago now), but because it was actually what I was craving.

My creation? A tasty veggie mess!

In the mess:

sweet potato at the bottom of the pile
broccoli
sweet onion
sun-dried tomatoes (seriously obsessed, thanks Brandi!)
pinto beans
banana peppers
topped off with green onions and a drizzle of italian dressing
seasoned with garlic salt & crushed red pepper

TOTALLY HIT THE SPOT – and I licked the plate clean! Dinner was totally a win!

(I then proceeded to go to volleyball and lose 2 out of 3 games – but hey – ya can’t win them all!)

Hope you are all having a fabulous week! I’m hoping to catch up on all my blog reading this weekend!!
