Even better would be: "I was mad cheesed to eat my salad today and it was the bomb!" Hahaha.
Although the teenage version of myself probably wouldn't be saying that about a salad...but that's a whole different issue :)
I love when I know I have something really yummy packed for lunch, and today's salad was just that. But before I get to lunch, lets start with breakfast! I made some oatmeal at work, by adding the oats with 1/2cup vanilla soy, and 1/4cup water into my bowl and letting it sit during my commute.
When I decided to eat breakfast this morning I added 1/2 of a banana chopped, and microwaved it for 3min (stopping a few times to stir because the milk was going to bubble out of the bowl!). To this I added a little almond butter, some raisins and dried cherries and a sprinkling of Kashi Go Lean crunch.
It was pretty good...for some reason the vanilla soy made it a little too sweet for me...or I should say a little too vanilla-y. I think I would of preferred regular milk and sweetened it myself with syrup or brown sugar. However, I definitely prefer my steel cut oats to this, so I think I'll make a batch tonight!
Now...THE SALAD! My roommate was eating a similar one last night and it just looked so good. She had grilled up some chicken this weekend to use during the week too!
My salad had:
- Mixed baby lettuce
- cucumber
- red onion
- red and green bell pepper
- baby carrots
- frozen corn
- frozen edamame (both corn and edamame thawed by lunch)
- herb goat cheese
- marinated grilled chicken
- crumbled bagel chip pieces (added right before I ate)
- Vidalia onion honey mustard dressing
Salad all packed this morning (minus bagel chips and dressing):
All shook up before eating!
Soooooo good!!
For dessert I had a TJ's dark chocolate mint melt...it was like a big junior mint! Mmmm
I'm super busy at work today! Catch ya lata!
