I mean this both literally and figuratively. I was Errands McGee today, and I definitely ate enough to fuel it all. Sheesh. Just you wait…you’ll see!
I had a lovely morning with a frothy java and scoop ‘o almonds. YUMMY!
Like a five year old, I played with my food a little, too. I’m so mature.
I got a little sun this past weekend, huh? Oops!! Fueled on crack caffeine and nuts, I did some running around town and came home and made a BEAST of a breks.
Underneath all the granola, almonds, and fresh bluebeezies, was Chobani greek yogurt.
Pre and post mix master flex…I die.
I didn’t have lunch so much as a series of PM snacks. The first being chips & hummus. I piled my plate high with BOTH pita chips AND pop chips.
PITA/POP. Whatever, yo. As long as it brings hummus to my mouth, I’m happy. I may have had too many of the chips though…because I fell into a mini food coma after all the carbs settled. Like a rock in my belly, I sunk into the couch.
Who knew Stonyfield made chapstick?! Odd.
The PM went by in a blur: Kyle got home from work, I chomped an apple, we went grocery shopping for my weekend eats, Kyle left for Vegas, I went to the gym, I made dinner, and hit the sack.
I was feeling avocado deficient, so I knew there was only one way to fix it. GUAC! I haven’t had one of these MASSIVE bowls in while, so it was about due, dontcha think?
I used an entire avocado 😀
Some DKB for dippage purposes…
Almost filled, but not quite, I opted for some veggies and roasted red pepper hummus. Cauliflower and cukes were such contrasting textures, it was great.
Jay Robb put me to bed – don’t be jealous Kyle!! When the cat’s away… ;)
I have read your blog and have kinda been a luker I guess- (that sounds creepier than I would like)…but I just wanted to say you totally crack.me. up. I love reading your blog and appreciate that you eat real food and work hard. Thanks for making a really fun blog. Also- your Rachel Zoe reference was bananas.
I seriously need to come over for snacks. Not a meal but snacks that we could make into a meal. Hummus, chips, cereal. Yum.
Where on earth did you get that chapstick?
The granola and yogurt bowl has me drooling.
hahahaha that chapstick is hilarious. I don’t think I even want to know where you got it..
but mmm how I love love love Jay Robb <3
Stoneyfield chapstick??? Cool!! Haha 😀
MMmm guac!!
Whoa! I want that guac!!! Like Now!
Everything else you had looks pretty good too, but that guac has me droolin!
Mmmm I had guac last night too. I love Stoneyfield’s chapstick – I got free samples while I was on Mayercraft this year.
Have a good Saturday 🙂
Stonyfield make chapstick? Is it yogurt flavored?
LOVE granola bowls… What one do you use? I have a slight obsession with Bear Naked.
Speaking of hummus vehicles, I may require your help soon… 😉
Yesterday I was a ravenous beast as well – every hour the tum wanted more! Oh well, just means we get to eat more things like carob and hummus, right?!
At first glance, I thought your shoulder was a dried apricot – hahah! OUCHIE sorry, boo!
PS. Savory oatmeal with a side of hummus…..oh, I did it.
It’s good to know that my sister and I aren’t the only ones who say ______McGee!
We say it for everything!
As always, all your eats look fabu! I love that you sometimes opt for a “meal o’ snacks” as opposed to forcing yourself to have strict meals – great balance! Hope Kyle has fun (but not too much) in Vegas 🙂
Ha! Stoneyfield chapstick is news to me! I’d totally buy it though 😉
Chips and hummus sounds pretty amazing right now. I just ate dinner but I could go for another round 😉
i think you just earned yourself the title of my fav appetite building blog with all of that yummy looking food … hehe
esp the guac, and hummus, and the granola and .. who am i kidding, all of it :p
1) I am about to eat stonyfield yogurt (I don’t even really like it.. it is the only thing this college offers) and wtf, chapstick?!?!
2) I MISS AVOCADOS!!!
3) I just bought a tub of chipotle hummus and it is DELICIOUS!!!
4) Pop chips reign from SANFRAN 😀
5) <3 you long time!!
From your pictures, you look like a fairly small human. From your food pics, you look like you can hang with people about 4 times your size! Girlfriend, where do you put it??!! 🙂
I hope you’re having an awesome L Day Weekend. Why is it that you don’t get to do the Girls Gone Wild trip to Vegas while your boyf stays home? That doesnt seem fair. I hope you get to go to Vegas next weekend 🙂
shoot homes – all that flattery is going to my head!! thanks for the sweet comment. im glad im entertaining someone other than myself 🙂
why are snacks so much more fun to munch on all day long?
…grazing is the best 🙂
it was kyles! he showed it to me yesterday and i was in shock – i had no idea stonyfield was branching out to the cosmetic realm, haha. of course i cant made one simple comment without him then launching into the economics of their decision as a company, so i tuned him out and missed where he even got it…either way, its mine now!!
i swear the addition of a bit of plain greek yogurt to a sh!t ton of avocado is the most amazing thing evah!!
its strawberry and FABULOUS. btw, i wanted to text you/call you badly yesterday as i walked passed your fave diner (viand)…cant wait for you to get here. oh, and i also thought of another possible dining option (as if we dont have enough already) – nanoosh, its also on the UWS. google it, i know youll be in heaven 🙂
you have opened a whole new door of possibilities…im both scared and in awe
i use that phrase WAY too much, haha. my sister prefers _____ McGregor. we are such weirdos 🙂
yeah, i think its best im left a little bit in the dark. he called me before i went to work today (6:00 am east coast time)…hmmm
i couldnt imagine a more flattering title. EVER. seriously.
1. stonyfield is the new supplier to our hospital..before that it was super cheapo brand and WAY nast. so even though im not a huge fan either (ive only had the oikos greek yog since its the only “sorta dairy” my tums can do), the patients seem to like it?
2. the loss of avocados aplenty was one of the hardest changes for me to cope with. that and good mexican food.
3. chipotle? sign me up!!
4. i think you should come visit and we could do a tour of the sabra factory (its in queens i think?). field trips with free samples? hollerrrr.
5. love youuuuuuuuu
hahaha, ive never been called a “fairly small human” before, but i think ill continue to use that phrase. good thing licenses dont give descriptions like that, huh? eye/hair color/weight/height is def enough. im pretty average, but youre right, food moderation is NOT my thang…so its a good thing i adore exercising like a mo fo on my days off.
i sooo wish i were in vegas.
3 day weekend + gorg weather = yuck work sched
Whoa, that breakie looks pretty fantastic. I want!
Stonyfield chapstick? Was it yogurt scented?
ooh, tough call! Though Quantam has seitan… So glad I am there long enough to go to all the places I have bookmarked! Did you get the Tweet about the SABRA restaurant?!!!! I wanted to call you yesterday too when some guy had a fit and collapsed on the street. I was the only person who stopped! Though I have watched enough Scrubs to know what to do (ie, call and ambulance 😛 ) Just call me J.D.!
strawberryyyyy
haha, is 911 the same number there? (pretend that question made sense and you understood what i was asking)
sabra restaurant!!!!!!! whaaa!
stonyfield chapstick? odd indeed. better be organic! it took me a minute to figure out what your shoulder was, i thought it was some food at first but then looked closer. i guess it could be food to a cannibal? ew.
haha! Assuming that comment was to me? It’s 999 here. And nobody knows what I mean when I ask for the “411”. Being an ex-pat is hard 🙁 Lol. I know- Sabra in Boston?!!!!!! http://www.sabrafoods.com/Sabra_Restaurant.htm
Hi Elise, Just stumbled onto your blog not long a couple of days ago n am intrigued by it :)… your granola, looks good, was wondering which brand did you get as i’m still looking for a good granola that’s not overly sweet as they tend to be either coconutty or too sweet! thanks!
i usually buy from the bulk bins at a local health foods store…im not sure of the brand it is, but its a low fat raisin almond one. you should try the “bear naked” brand, they dont taste overly sugar-y in my opinion. hope that helps and thanks for reading 🙂
whaaaaaaaaa?!?
I want that Stonyfield chapstick! I plant them all over the house and in every bag, but I STILL always find myself in dire straits when I can’t find one.
you and i have yet another thing in common. chapstick everywhere. kyle has an addiction (a legit addiction) and goes through a tub a week, maybe more frequently. every year santa fills his stocking with nothing but chapstick. im pretty sure hes going to reapply several times as we are standing on the alter. the priest will say “you may now kiss the bride” and he will reapply, and then we will kiss…haha
Your blog is so cute. You crack me up. I have only been reading for a little while but I have enjoyed it so far. You have given me some great ideas for snacks and food all together. I am new to the blog world (well the having a blog world)…but as i search I have found there are hundreds of amazing blogs out there that are so great. I’m excited to keep reading.
