I was flashing my ice ALL OVER the hospital today 🙂
I can’t help it, I’m freakin’ engaged and can’t hide the excitement!!!
I packed my lunch the night before, see:
Even in my extremely exhausted state (cross country flights are NOT my friend), I still managed to make a mean ass sammie, consisting of smart deli “turkey,” cranz, honey mustard, and lettuce on ww bread.
And as for the rest of the days munchies: Apricot Clif bar, Strawberry/Pomegranate odwalla bar, wasabi peas, and carrots.
Add a few billion pounds of coffee in there and call it a day!
I got home to an empty fridge, and decided to do something about it (in 5.2 seconds since I was starving).
Ultimately, I made the quickest and easiest thing because when I’ve got growling in my tummy, food trumps ALL.
Vegan crab cakes with a brocc/carrot slaw side salad.
Not so sure about the sauce…it was one of those flavors that was good and bad at the same time, and I kept trying more and more to determine if I liked it or not…I think I did? Maybe it’s just been SO long since I’ve had anything dairy, I can’t remember what it tastes like, so this vegan version of Rémoulade sauce was a little iffy in my book.
I tried to arrange it pretty for you peeps 🙂
I also had a GN veggie burger with some of my home-made hummus and tortillas. (I included the above photo of Gary Null’s veggie burgers since I always get questions on the brand I use – they are made and packaged in the store and I haven’t seen them anywhere else besides the local healthy foods store I shop at)
They are supah thick and delish. Mmmm…
The creaminess going on here is INDESCRIBABLE.
I’m not above licking the container clean either.
Dessert was a no-brainer!
Back to work tomorrow. I miss vacay!!
Oh my gosh, totally delicious!!!
And mmm sandwich!
I’d be flashing the bling all over if I just got engaged too…it is exciting! I hope your co-workers were appropriately impressed :o)
Your hummus looks fabulous! I lick the container (and the lid!) when I run out of homemade hummus too, I mean, er…I thoroughly clean the container once it is gone in an extremely sanitary fashion…

have you been to the great health food store- I am pretty sure it’s called Westerley Market (around 55th and 8th I think). They sell the burgers too as well as tons of cool raw stuff.
