Check, Check, Check

by admin on September 30, 2009

  • Dentist appointment – done! And no cavities.
  • Chiropractor appointment – done! And good!
  • Fun dessert-making supplies – bought. :)
  • Dinner – eaten.
  • Dishes – washed, drying.
  • Laundry – waiting to be folded.

I’m glad I didn’t eat my grapes with lunch because I really wanted to have this snack today.

I saved the 2 new Chobani flavors for last  :)   Today, I brought the Pineapple flavor plus my Kashi Free Sample box of the Honey Almond Flax GoLean Crunch.

I think this may be my new favorite yogurt.

I loved how creamy it was, and the little bits of pineapple were just perfect in it!

Look at that big slice of almond! This cereal kind of tasted like honey smacks. I liked it.

Now I just have to convince a store around here to start carrying Chobani so I can actually buy it.

We left work and headed over to the chiropractor, which went well for both of us. I really think having that car accident a few months ago just knocked everything into place for me. All my visits since then have been great.

Apparently, Nick and I are both up for phone upgrades soon so we ran over to the Verizon store to check some out. I think we both know which ones we want, but we’re going to look up some reviews first.

AND  – big news in this household – Nick and I can now text! I know…we’re so behind the times in regards to our phones. Better late than never?  :) At least we don’t have those awesome Zach Morris cell phones, right?

Before coming home, I also ran into the grocery store to pick up a few items for a dessert recipe I’m going to try to make tonight or tomorrow. It’s top secret right now, but I promise to show it off if it works out well.

Since we ended up eating out last night, dinner tonight was easy.

Leftovers, and good ones.

I heated up some leftover grilled chicken, steamed broccoli and the roasted butternut/onion mixture from the other night.

I think I could eat winter squash at every meal and be happy.

I also tried the Root Beer Zevia tonight.

I love root beer and don’t have it very often, so I was excited to try this flavor.

The only thing I didn’t like?

That I didn’t have any ice cream to make it into a float tonight  :)  

This root beer is good – it doesn’t taste exactly like regular root beer, but it’s definitely better than the other diet ones I’ve had.

 

I’m off to fold this laundry and get ready for some Top Chef + popcorn!

Nick and I had dentist appointments during our lunch break today – fun, right? It’s a day full of appointments – dentist at lunch, chiropractor after work. Good thing I don’t really mind either one. Since I knew our appointments would take up the majority of our lunch break, I packed a lunch that would [...]

What a happy breakfast! While picking up a few things at one of our local little health food stores, Nick and I grabbed a few locally made bagels to have for breakfast today. We bought some cinnamon raisin ones yesterday, and I had the hardest time choosing my toppings! Eventually, I decided on a lightly [...]

Is it really only Tuesday? Today has been a doozy. I was starving this afternoon! Not even an hour after lunch, I broke into my new Larabar  Thanks again, Steph!!! I was so excited to try this bar. I’d seen some good reviews and some mixed, so I was eager to try it for myself. [...]

Dream Job

Fun topic, right? First, let’s do lunch. I had some more of the coconut cauliflower chana, brown jasmine rice, plus spinach today for some more green veggies. I like how the spinach kind of steams in the microwave, but doesn’t get all weird and soggy. I also brought a bit of plain yogurt – I [...]

Okay, okay…maybe I’m taking the easy way out on this one   I wanted to start answering some of your burning questions, so I picked one that I figured would be the easiest. Veronica (one of my best friends from back home!) asked: If you could pick one thing to eat every day, what would [...]

Well, it’s a good thing I love this meal, because we have a lot of this curry dish left  I heated up some leftover brown jasmine rice (totally worth the time it takes to cook) and some of the coconut cauliflower chana recipe. I love when food gets better after sitting in the fridge. This [...]

Good Monday morning! I had a good dream last night – I’m not sure what was going on, but I saw some of our Honduras group and it made me so happy! I guess I was trying to stretch out my dream, because I got up a bit later than normal. Thankfully, I still had [...]

Another Sunday is almost gone. I’m going to squeeze as much in to this day as I can because I’m just not ready for Monday. Breakfast was bad. Nick and I went early to church to help set up and we had planned on going to our favorite local coffee shop since they make great [...]

Convincing Win

September 26, 2009
IMG_5941

Woohoo!!!! Let’s Go! Hokies!   Man, what a game! It was seriously pouring here (and at the stadium) for the ENTIRE game, but what a great win for us. This game was probably one of our toughest of the season going into it, especially with all the hype about Miami, but we played so well. [...]
