I have been going non stop all day…blech!
I barely had time this morning to make breakfast and lunch, but I somehow managed it.
Breakfast had to be quick so I threw together with a SunButter & Strawberry Spread Thin. YUM. I used my free sample of SunButter, and wow was it good! Super YUM!
Lunch was an awesome combo – I used leftover pasta (1 oz dry worth), lettuce, peppers, carrots, feta cheese, and balsamic vinegar to throw together a fantastic salad! The balsamic vinegar and feta cheese complimented each other very well!
I also had a peach with my lunch and a mini bag of M & M’s!
Afternoon snacks included my sample Clif Mojo Bar, a Clif Kid Twisted Fruit, and an Apple Heart Thrive. I was feeling super snacky today in case you can’t tell.
When I finally got home around 6:25, I took care of a few things and then made my dinner. I made a very Simple Couscous Salad using:
- 3.5 servings couscous (cooked)
- 4 oz feta cheese
- 15 oz can garbanzo beans (boiled for 3 minutes)
- 1 small cucumber cut up in small chunks (about 5 oz)
- 1/2 large red pepper cut in pieces (bigger than diced)
- 1 Tbs. extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and Pepper to taste
I mixed everything together in a bowl and then split it up into 4 servings (about 430 calories/serving).
It was delicious! I’m very glad I have leftovers! They’ll definitely be making an appearance for lunch tomorrow : )
Dessert was a No Pudge Brownie from the freezer, and 2 vanilla meringues…yum! and 3 small squares of the Green & Black Mint Dark Chocolate…It was a very LONG DAY!
My brother will be getting here shortly – he came out to Cali for a couple of days. I wish I didn’t have class tomorrow so I could hang out with him more, I think he may go to San Fran tomorrow. Can we say jealous!
See you tomorrow!
i love the combo of couscous and garbanzos together! so good. i bet that salad was amazing. i love sunbutter as well!
I don’t think I’ve had couscous but it looks like an interesting grain.
Green And Black chocolate is on this weeks sales at Whole Foods. I’m excited, I’ve still got a ton from Newman’s Own Organic but they don’t have a mint variety so I think I’ll pick up a mint Green and Black
That’s an awesome salad for being thrown together so quick. Good job!
Oh my goodness, I love No Pudge brownies.. I could easily eat half of the pan… dangerous!
I love the salad you threw together. We are kind of low on things at home right now, so I may be throwing things together too! Sometimes those are the best meals though
Awww! yay for bro time!!
Im dying to try Sunbuttah!
That salad looks tasty! I think I may copy it soon…
