Happy Friday Eve all!!! I owe a special thanks to Ada and Jessie for helping me to understand the meaning of the name of TJ’s new Guacamole ~ Avocado’s Number. Did you all know it is a spin of off the Avogadro constant? “Perrin originally proposed the name “Avogadro’s number” (N) to refer to the number of molecules in one gram-molecule of oxygen (exactly 32 grams of oxygen, according to the definitions of the period),[5] and this term is still widely used, especially in introductory works.[9] ”
WOW ~ seriously I think the person who named their guacamole is too smart to be making guacamole….And here I thought they just left the #1 off :D Thanks ladies, I am soooo going to watch for the next person at TJ’s that buys that guacamole so I can tell them what it means! 😉
Breakfast was a FAST 3 point Egg White Which. I cooked 1/3 c liquid egg whites in the microwave for 1 minute and toasted up 2 slices of TJ’s FF Multi-Grain Bread sprayed with I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter Spray.
Fruitiness ~ Banana “Chips” and cuties (2 pts)
As I was enjoying some AMAZING Starbuck’s Decaf Verona, I caved to a little Holiday Candy. I typically avoid any and all holiday candy that I can get any time of year. I do not NEED to buy a chocolate bunny because I can get ChocoLOVE anytime of year. However, Robin Eggs….they come once a year. I had a 4 point serving.
Plus 2 of these Lemon Covered Blueberry Lemon Shortcake Cookies which I probably NEVER need to eat again because they are like crack totally addicting.
Janetha reminded me that today was NATIONAL SOUR DOUGH BREAD day so I HAD to have a slice of TJ’s Whole Wheat Sour Dough Bread, topped with some AVOCADO’s Number, sea salt & pepper.
I sliced my bread in half and stuffed it with some Muenster plus 1 1/2 oz each of honey ham and turkey (8 pts) YUM!
Crunchy peppers on the side that all of my co-workers seemed to think I was weird for eating them straight up like this. I don’t eat the stems or seeds ~ they are weird for not eating them – they are so sweet, crispy and crunchy! 🙂
We officially signed our contract today to get Central Heat & Air installed in our house ~ OMG – I am SOOOO HAPPY!!! Living in our 1940’s house that we are restoring has been awful in the million degree summer heat. I can’t wait!
After signing our life away, we headed over to help our friends put the finishing touches on their new house. On the way over I snacked on some TJ’s Lite Kettle Korn (2 pts). I was nice and actually shared with The Husband.
After, we all headed over to Chipolte! Chipolte scared me because their points are high for everything and their portions are HUGE. However, if you check out CHIPOLTE FAN BEFORE you can, you can make sure you create something that fits into your points budget. I LOVE how you can add what you are ordering to see how it impacts the nutritionals.
I made a FANTASTIC Burrito Bowl Sans Beans and Rice (saves a TON of points!)
Romaine
Grilled Chicken
Fajita Vegetables (Peppers and Onions)
Corn Salsa
Tomato Salsa
Hot Salsa 
A small sprinkle of cheese ~ I told them must a pinch LOL
GUACAMOLE because it’s totally worth ALL the points to me and who can ever get enough Guacaliciousness in their life 🙂
This salad game in at 10 points (not too shabby because it tasted like more). You can save 3 points by skipping the guacamole, but why would you???

umami burger:
http://theactorsdiet.wordpress.com/2009/12/18/lynn-umami-burger/
i’ve been back there about 4x since i went there in december
Haha no worries, I would never have known that if I wasn’t pre-med!
I think if the guac came out to be 500 points, I would still eat every single bite and then probably go back for seconds!!! 🙂
One can NEVER skip the guac at Chipotle! 🙂 I think that’s a rule.
Take care girl. Have a great day!
I’m convinced the burger I had sunday night was the best. All it was was grass-fed meat cooked on the grill, but that’s all it had to be. I’venever ever had one juicier in my life
You had quite the guac-y day!
On toasted bread, I also love to add a bit of red pepper flakes on mine for kick with sea salt – amaze!
Where are those lemon covered shortbread things from? Wait, maybe it’s better I don’t know…
I love Easter candy! And that TJ’s guac is increeedible! So delish.
xo

Guacaramma! WOW! I had that one from Trader Joe’s in my hand a few weeks ago but sometimes they taste yucky- ya know that pre-packaged preservative taste…anyway I put it back. I will need to try it now!! 🙂
yeah! Chipotle! 🙂 YUM!
That sandwich looks AMAZING. I love Munster cheese!!!! I am definitely going to have to replicate that in the near future!
Hi Quinn,
Ahh – I remember you telling me about the red pepper flakes before – I NEED to try that because I know it would be AMAZING!!!
Those lemon short bread – really, you wanna know…They were at Pete’s Coffee in their Easter section….they are insanely GOOD – I had to have the Robin Eggs so I could get the taste out of my mouth and not eat more 😀 Good justification, right? LOL
Happy Friday ~ you can “almost” eat CHEEESE again!

Hi TJ,
You know, the only reason I bought it was because they had a SAMPLE of it 😀 LOL As a side note, if you ever want to try something at Trader Joe’s before you buy it, you can just ask them and they open it right there. I’ve done that before I bought some of their almond butter once because I wanted to try it before spending the $$$$. If you don’t like it, they just sample it away….I know it might break your no sample rules though 😀
It really does taste like REAL avocados and not funky like the preservative kind.
Happy Friday!

oh my GOSH i am loving all that guac! and i love that you celebrated national sourdough bread day! yeah! danica you eat so great ALL the time, i really just want to compliment you on your eating habits and the balance you find between clean eating and treats. i can only hope to one day be as balanced, organized and prepared you are when it comes to cooking and eating! love you, have a great weekend!
You’re right! You can’t have too much guac or avocado. Mmmm! That’s so interesting about the TJ’s name too. I would never have known.
I’m the same way with holiday candy. It has to be something special if I am going to have it. Halloween is the worst because I adore candy corn and it is EVERYWHERE during that time!
Getting central AC was one of the best decisions I made, when I bought my first place. After living in it for one summer, I was miserable. It was both hot and my allergies were awful. As soon as I had AC installed, I was a much happier girl. It’s always good for resale value, too 🙂
I have a question, what are robins eggs? Am I living under a rock, I have never heard of said candy…..
Haha, I remember I first spotted that guacamole at the same time I was taking chemistry. I HAD to buy it, just because I was so excited that I understood the reference. It turned out to be quite a tasty product!
PS I LOVE your zebra plate!
HI D,
I honestly CANNOT wait for our Central Heat & Air! Robin Eggs are candy covered chocolare malt balls (think like candied covered Whoppers but better).
