I headed to the gym today for lunch ready to hop on the treadmill. I did 4:1 run:walk intervals for 30 minutes with a warm up and cool down before heading back to work for a “spicetastic” lunch!
Today I took the other half of my Channa Masala from Trader Joe’s, added a chopped organic light green zucchini
and poured it over 1 cup of Trader Joe’s Frozen Organic Brown Rice.
I topped it with a little green onion and cilantro for color…..
Then mixed it up all ~ it was fantastic! I think I might like it better this way versus eating it with Naan TJ’s product and will definitely get it again!
I added some more color with a bunch of organic cherry tomatoes.
This was the perfect lunch to power me through all my afternoon meetings.
My afternoon sweet tooth kicked in and I snagged a few vanilla and cinnamon cookies from the breakroom. LOVE the Vanilla – they taste just like the kind with cream in the middle, only there is no cream.
I ended up working late then rushing home to try to get dinner for The Husband before he had to go to bed. He goes to bed around 6 pm lately since he has to be at work at 3 am. He was trying to stay up to wait for me so I just grabbed Subway on the way home. I originally asked for a flatbread, but, they didn’t have it. I settled for a Turkey/Ham Sandwich on 9-grain honey oat loaded with all the veggies, fat free Honey Dijon and AVOCADO!
And a handful of Salsa Sun Chips! I am a chip person when it comes to sandwiches, I LOVE sticking them in the middle for added crunch.
All together with a Perrier fizzy water and a BIG pluot that I didn’t eat. I might have it later but I have a feeling I am going to join The Husband in bed soon. I need to get a good 8 hours of sleep!
Coming up next…..My next giveaway ~ it’s everything you need for a fantastic summer meal!

I've never done the whole chip in a sandwich thing – I feel like I missed a vital childhood moment 😉 I'll have to give it a go one of these days!
