Extra breakfast

I ate breakfast this morning, I swear I did, but by the time I got to work I was hungry again.  So I ran into Whole Foods and I somehow ended up in the bakery and I started looking at the cupcakes and the cakes and the cookies and brownies. I don’t know how that [...]

I guess I like American yogurt

I got this new kind of yogurt over the weekend:

They didn’t have the kind I usually get, which is just plain old nonfat yogurt.  I was expecting something exciting, what with the bold “thick and creamy” claim, but it’s actually much thinner than the regular kind and really, really sour.  I had to add raisins [...]

Slow motion

Today is drrraaaaaaaagggging for me.  I seriously feel like I’ve been working for at least twenty hours.
So, I decided to take a little break and give Jack a much-needed bath.  He has mysteriously had maple syrup on his head ever since we had pancakes over the weekend.  Hmmm…
Anyway, it was a bit of a work [...]

I’m practically Italian

Okay, let’s get the yogurt out of the way before we move on to the good stuff.  With peanut butter and honey:

I’ve never had peanut butter and yogurt together before, but I started eating the peanut butter out of the jar and figured I should turn it into a real live snack.  It was good [...]

Second chances

The other day, after I tried Chobani plain yogurt and said it was gross, my lovely nurse friend Larissa left a comment suggesting that maybe I was just getting sick.  Apparently this girl is an even better nurse than I thought, because as you all know from all the bitching I’ve been doing, I did [...]

Move over, chickpeas!

How dorky was that title?  I know.
But tonight, I took the standard chickpea cutlet recipe and turned it into black bean burgers:

Close up:

I’m sure other people have done this, and I can’t remember any of the amounts I used, so I’m not going to post a recipe.  Basically, I just subbed the beans for the [...]

A sticky situation

So for the past three or four days, this has been in our freezer:

It’s Chris’s shoe, gently resting on some frozen corn.  It is in there because he stepped in gum.  But not just any gum – the biggest piece of gum I’ve ever seen:

It looks like some kind of spearmint, but the size tells [...]

I am too hot to think

I totally forgot to take a picture of my snack this afternoon.  I blame some sort of heat-induced memory lapse.  To save energy and money, I keep the air conditioner thermostat set to 80º during the day.  This means that it comes on approximately every half hour, or just often enough to keep Jack and [...]

Extra energy

So I ate this Z Bar while I was waiting for the bus this morning:

I very rarely eat before going to the gym, just because I’m not usually hungry that early.  But this morning I was starving for some reason, so I grabbed this on my way out the door, and I now think that [...]

Bonne Maman is lying to me

I am including lunch today as an extra special bonus.  Get excited.

It’s a salad.  But not just any salad.  No.  This is a pear and goat cheese salad.  The pear was a little iffy – borderline rotten, I’ll admit – but this still tasted good because goat cheese tastes good and I would eat it [...]
