I’ve Been So Lazy

August 10, 2009 · Filed under 1

So the past week I’ve just been a bum about updating! I still have taken pictures but just have been too lazy/tired to upload the durn things! Well today will be one giant post to try and makeup for the past week.

Not only have I been lazy with the posts, but also making food! Between ordering while at work and going home for home cooked meals, I’ve barely had to do anything! My mom did send some great magazines with simple recipes, so I am definitely hitting the Farmer’s Market this weekend for some good ole’ cheap and fresh veggies!

Now away we go! We start off with breakfast from last week ( I can’t even remember the day), this is a typical breakfast full of protein, healthy fats and carbs. Trader Joe Greek Yogurt with blueberries, strawberries, Mix My Granola, blackberry preserve and Peanut Butter and Co White Chocolate.

To go with the yogurt I added half an Ezekiel muffin with AB and preserve.

Lunch on Thursday consisted of leftovers from lunch on Tuesday and Wednesday.  I got a salad from Filling Station  that had romaine, chicken, cranberry, walnuts and blue cheese.  I stole a few sweet potato chips from Summer.  I got a chicken salad wrap from Hogan’s Groovy Gourmet in a whole wheat wrap.

Is there anything better than Oatmeal? On second thought, is there anything better than Oatmeal, banana slices, granola and Almond Butter???IMG_1701

EXTREME GRANOLA CLOSE-UP!!!!!!!!

Saturday I went to the America’s Most Wanted tour.  The tour included Jeremih, Pleasure P, Soulja Boy, Young Jeezy, Drake (who wasn’t there) and Lil’ Wayne. It was such a good concert! I wasn’t expecting too much but Wayne is an awesome performer. His show was hip-hop and rock.

I decided to stay Sunday for a Grandpa made meal. We had a nice family meal: my three cousins have been visiting from CT, plus my aunt and uncle and my other two cousins, my dad, aunt Kris and GPA . We made a very easy and yummy dinner of grilled chicken, grean beans and almonds, baked beans and mac and cheese, melon and some rolls.

And it wouldn’t be a grandpas dinner without dessert! I had a small piece, but could have eatin’ a huge one! SO YUMMY!

‘cuz i’m cleaning out my freezer

August 4, 2009 · Filed under Dinner, Music, Turkey

So I decided to be productive and I cleaned out my fridge/freezer.  I had a lot of food in the freezer!  I found Herb Crusted Turkey Tenderloin from Earthfare so I decided to defrost it and cook it up!

I have to say that i didn’t love this.  There wasn’t a whole bunch of flavor to it.  I’m thinking that it will be much better cold for the next day’s leftovers.

And for dessert I had a homemade Grandpa chocolate chip cookie (okay maybe 2 1/2). Yes, we keep the chocolate chip cookies frozen! They are the best that way!! Seriously.

I’ve got another song for all of you! This is a good one for the gym, when you are in a kick ass mood.  I like it when I’m lifting heavy weights.  I got inspired from going to the concert this past weekend. Here is Hinder’s Get Stoned. Enjoy!

Flying Biscuit

August 2, 2009 · Filed under Chicken, Lunch, Music, Restaraunts

So I have had one heck of a weekend!! On Saturday I was driving to Raleigh to go to the Saving Abel/Papa Roach/Hinder/Nickelback Concert. WELL I stopped by to get some gas and I didn’t even realize how close I was to the curb and I totally ran right into it.

Needless to say I blew my whole tire and the rim

Well I had to get a tow take me to a tire place to get it fixed.  What a hassle and an expensive mistake!

I did make it to the concert, we missed Saving Abel but were able to catch the other three bands.

I have to say that my food choices that day were NOT the best.  I had a PBJ and Larabar earlier in the day. But once I got to Raleigh I was hungry and frusterated (two things that will make you make bad choices when it comes to food).  On the way into the concert there were tons of people tailgating so my aunt asked a group if I could have a hot dog.  The group was so nice and let me have a grilled dog and some delicious watermelon! It tasted so yummy but I knew that I’d be hungry later.

Once inside we caught Papa Roach!!

IMG_1618After that was Hinder:

About this time I was hungry again! AAHHH! So I went out to the concession stands to get some very healthy food! Haha. I went for a grilled chicken wrap, not terrible but it was in a white flour tortilla and ranch.  ON TOP OF THAT I ate about half of a soda cup full of french fries. Terrible!

After my great food choices Nickelback came on! They sounded great, he is a fun front man and sounds just as good live.  It was hard to get good pictures because they move around too much

The next day (today Sunday) I decided to try The Flying Biscuit which I’ve heard good things about.  They started out by bringing a biscuit.  I only ate about half of it. It was okay, a little salty and I didn’t love the jam they gave.

This place serves breakfast all day and some lunch and dinner foods.  Looking over the whole menut, I got the 3B Chicken Sandwich.  I couldn’t help myself, the blue cheese and bacon combo was too tempting!

IMG_1683

I got a salad on the side.  Again I decided only to eat half. It was so delicous! I would be interested in trying their breakfast food since about half of their menu is breakfast

lovin’ oats

August 2, 2009 · Filed under Breakfast, Food Reviews, Music, Oatmeal, Peanut Butter

 

So I have to praise Amy’s Organic Steel-Cut Oats. I was SUPER impressed. It’s in the frozen section and you pop it in the microwave for about 4 minutes. 

IMG_1596

The ingredietns are very simple, Filtered Water, Organic Steel-Cut Oats, Organic Agave Nectar, Sea Salt and Organic Cinnamon.  Amy’s is non-dairy, no trans fat, no preservatives and no cholesterol.

The oats were super delcious and fluffy! It was so easy to have it already made up and all you must do it heat it up.  I added to it a couple tablespoons of  MyMix granola, half a banana, barney butter and peanut butter and co dark chocolate dreams.

IMG_1602

It left me very satisfied and filling, but not that “stuffed” feeling you sometimes get after eat a carb heavy meal.

I know this may be an odd choice for gym music, but I really enjoy listening to the Fray’s Never Say Never.  It is actually a very good song to listen to when you are first starting off your work out ( I esp. love it when I’m on the Stair Climber).
