Rained out

I woke up bright and early this morning to head over to a farmer’s market about an hour away. It started drizzling on the way there and when we arrived, it was the tiniest farmer’s market ever! I think there were 4 or 5 tents, and two were like soaps. Disappointing :( I hate the rain!

I ended up buying lots of zucchini and a small carton of extremely red strawberries.

Not worth the drive but good deal none the less!

Before the little adventure, I had an egg-y breakfast.

One sunnyside egg with 2 slices sprouted barley bread, sprayed with Smart Balance butter spray.

Plain TJ’s Greek yogurt mixed with agave nectar, sliced almonds, one sliced peach, and half a banana.

When I got home I was starving so made my favorite quick meal ever.

Arnold’s sandwich thin with barney butter, sliced carrots, honey and wheat germ. The ultimate version of this is when you use sunflower seed butter & flax. At one point in college, I had that combo every night for 2 weeks. It’s so simple but so good!

I also had some freshly picked (from the boyfriend’s garden) sugar snap peas, sauteed in garlic, on the side.

A little later, after a trip to Walmart for some father’s day goodies for Dad, I went home and did 50 minutes on the stationary bike, followed  by an arm workout. Then my brother & his wife stopped by with my baby niece and I got some quality Aunt time in with the little 5 month old.

Once they left, my Dad requested I make the dinner salads for him, myself, and my Mom. I made it Greek style:

  • kalamata olives
  • grape tomatoes
  • herb flavored feta
  • green bell pepper
  • avocado
  • herb vinegar

Since they decided to have mango chicken with the salad, I made myself some mango tofu.

I sprinkled some ginger on it and baked it at 350 for a while and then topped it with cut up mango and a new Asian dressing that was pretty darn good.

Asian food is definitely in my top 3, which also include Italian and Mexican. What are your top 3 favorites?

sdc12228

I also had grapes on the side. Grapes on a grape plate, I just noticed that!

Dessert followed, which was cottage cheese with my farmer’s market strawberries and some Bear Naked Peak Protein granola.

I’m not doing much tonight besides hanging with the boyfriend because I have work early tomorrow. Hope you all have something exciting planned though! See you tomorrow :)

    Bummer about the farmers’ market! At least that carrot-AB sammie makes up for it! I used to snack on carrots & PB all the time in high school.
