A Salady Day….

August 21, 2009 by DanicasDaily 9 Comments

Today has been such a non-stop go kind of day, but, in a good way.  It meant that my work day flew by so I could get on with our fun evening we had planned.  I knew exactly what I wanted for breakfast when I woke up ~ a WAFFLEWICH!!!!

What starts out as a two simple waffles, a little almond butter, a dab of apricot preservers and banana……..

Turns into this ~ My beloved Wafflewich!  I’ve missed my wafflewiches so much – how could I have gone so long without one?! LOL.

In the mix:

2 Trader Joe’s Whole Grain Blueberry Waffles

1 Tbsp Crunchy Almond Butter

1 Tbsp Organic Apricot Preserves

1 banana, sliced

I couldn’t fit all the slices in my wafflewich so I put them on the side.

I was able to score the BIG LEMON coffee mug today and filled it with 2/3 Starbuck’s Decaf and 1/3 hot water.  This was an AMAZING breakfast and it kept me going for almost 6 hours.

After a crazy busy morning at work, I needed to get out for a bit.  I knew The Husband wanted to grab a quick dinner on the go tonight.  So, I figured why not make up a quick salad at Whole Foods to have for me and he can get his junk food fix on.  It was super hard to resist making up two salads, but, I was really looking forward to the salad I had planned.

I made up a Spicy Sweet Potato and Black Bean salad

With toppers ~ crunchy blue corn taco shell, homemade Salsa and AVOCADO.  It completely hit the spot.

I wanted something sweet for dessert so I started out with some Annie’s Organic Sunny Citrus Bunnies.  But, I think a piece of Dark Chocolate with Almonds that my co-worker offered up may have showed up too.  I actually ate it before I even thought about taking a picture ~ whoops.

Tonight we had plans to head out to a local casino since they were having an August Birthday promotion.  The Husband had 10 chances to win $1,000 and he said he was feeling super lucky.  So, off we went and I totally LOVED that we got to ride in the car pool lane since there was traffic.  Yeah!

On the drive, I broke out my Whole Foods salad.  I am not sure I remember everything that is in here, so I’ll just show a few highlights.  I never get dressing at Whole Foods because they have those Cioppino Onions (marinated in honey and balsamic) and they flavor the whole salad.  I think it’s one of my favorite things about their salad bar.

* Organic Mixed Greens

* Green Cabbage

* Red & Yellow Bell Peppers

* Peas, Corn, Edamame

* Cherry Tomatoes

* A couple spicy croutons

* A sprinkle of raw sunflower seeds

And a few additional fun things from their cold bar.

Shanghai Spicy Peanut Noodle Salad ~ Delish!

Pico De Gallo ~ more dressing fun.

The Husband stopped at Taco Bell with him but I had to share my salad too LOL.  Next time, I’ll make a bigger one for both of us – maybe I can get him away from fast food?! 

He didn’t win the $1,000, but, we had a total blast which is really all that matters.

I know I am going to be dragging tomorrow, but, it was worth it and I am so glad it’s Friday!

Nite all!

    Ooh thanks for letting me know that TJ’s makes a whole grain blueberry waffle–the WF brand is not whole grain, sadly.
    I had a WF salad tonight for dinner too–nothing better:)
