Sporadic at Best....

-


That is how I can best describe my eating habits as of late.

Coming back from the "Safeguard Your Heart" Convention this past weekend is not helping. I tend to eat very strangely at Conventions. Partly because I don't want to eat too much and get drowsy and partly because I want something quick to eat so I can spend most of my lunch time chatting. Also, I eat less than usual to avoid travel related digestive issues.

So each day I had:
Breakfast: Bear Naked Granola and  Rice Balls
(More on these later)with Vanilla Almond Milk
Lunch: Wasa Sesame Crispbreads, Justin's Almond Butter,
Tomatoes and/or applesauce
Snacks: Lentil Chips or Snap Pea Crisps
Dinner: Trader Joe's Mushroom Noodle Soup with Wasa Sesame Crispbreads


Yesterday for breakfast I had the above.
But I had a good reason.
(Not that one needs a good reason to have
 leftover Napoli Pizza pizza for breakfast.)

I was headed to the Strip District
with the fam
at an unnaturally early hour
 to spend my Living Social Deal for Salonika Imports,
a fabulous Greek Importer.

Speaking of the Strip..
Can you believe they have young coconuts
for this price at Lotus Foods????
Steal of a deal!


And...
I tricked convinced my brother to try
this peach tea I was mildly addicted to in Italy.
He's a Peach Tea connoisseur.
This particular variety taste like Peach Wine has been added.
San Benedetto Pesca The!!!
Its "shut up!" good.

Now he is addicted too...
Mwahahahahaha...cough....


I bought these at Salonika.
They are from Istanbul, Turkey.
I will be going back to get a case of them.

They are thin and crispy and sesame.
What more does a girl need?

Hoard-worthy snack!
These were my breakfast this morning.
I will try to be more sensible for lunch, but no promises.

Girth Comparison

Things Ive been trying...

Cactus Fruit:


What a strange creature! It has the taste texture of apple. But the taste is something like apple grape pomegranate or cranberry. Very hard to describe. There are lot s of hard little seeds inside. Usually I will google a fruit to see how to cut it open and how to eat it, but out of sheer tiredness we dug right in.


Almond and Coconut Kind Bar:

Ridiculously tasty and just right for a coconut craving.
Shaved not shredded. Oh yeah!

I love boxes of Stuff!

I received a reviewers box of goodies from the Brad's Raw people last Monday and I really couldn't wait to share it with you.  However, when they said they were sending a sampler I was expecting tiny sample-sized packets, but this is what I got: And since I'm working on not being a greedy gus, I didn't immediately rip into all the packages and devour them. I did eat almost a whole container of the Naked Leafy Kale chips for dinner, but that was out of necessity since i haven't been shopping... Even though I don't strictly follow a gluten free or raw diet, I'm always on the lookout for a good tasting, portable gluten free or raw snack. I usually lean toward the Raw sweet snacks, but I'm open to more salty or savory ones. Along with the box of tasty vittles there was a nicely packaged information folder about how the company started and who Brad is. Brad was the typical American guy (i.e. overweight and unhealthy), but that all changed when he m

In my attempts to reduce my stress load I have rediscovered one of my favorite de-stressors: relaxing with a hot cup of tea. Ive read wonderful things about the relaxing benefits of Earl Grey tea spiked with Bergamot. I have to admit I'm a bit of a tea snob. I like to be able to see the composition of the tea in the bag. I find it thrilling to look in the tea bag and see bits of dried orange and lemongrass. This, of course, can do terrible things to ones wallet. So, in the interest of pinching pennies (sounds gruesome for those poor pennies) I considered the lower costing teas. To be perfectly honest I was not hopeful when I selected this tea. But for a change the tea that cost the least ($2.99) was surprisingly good (Mind you i was shopping at Whole Foods and its pretty hard to buy an awful product there). Bigelow Tea has a wonderful quality to its taste even though it is not a whole leaf tea. And as I was perusing the tea boxes I noticed that it is one of the few teas that has ac

Do you ever Treat Yourself?

Of course I do! But after eating whole foods for so long, my treats tend to be "real food". A treat for me is a trip to Chipotle, Whole Foods prepared foods section, or just cooking something I can't afford regularly (i.e. something with artichokes, avocado, etc.). But that is not to say I don't have non- whole food treats. But feel free to laugh at my list of "naughty" treats. It is kind of annoying when I say I have a craving and my friends laugh because my cravings are relatively "healthy". Anyway, here is a sampling of what I've been indulging in this summer. So Delicious Coconut milk ice cream in Cherry Amaretto with a dollop of Coconut Butter Tortilla chips topped with nooch cheese and tomato sauce Sweet potato fries with peanut butter and coconut butter Soft Pretzel at the Pittsburgh Pirates game Pirates won! Ice coffee with soymilk and maybe a shot of Torani syrup...
