Yesterday's Bounty

Since I had such a lovely day at the berry farm on Monday and picked up many wonderful foods there and en route I wanted to eat them as soon as possible. Can't help it....I am instant gratification girl. :)


Breakfast was Kashi H2H cereal and fresh strawberries and blueberries.


So vibrant and colorful.


Lunch was nothing extraordinary.


Turkey and cheese on whole grain with two olive eyeballs staring right AT YOU!

The most exciting part of lunch was my Blood Orange Italian Soda.

Off to work......
Afternoon snack.

Strawberries, blueberries, low fat organic vanilla yogurt and granola. Slurp.

After work things began to get a little hairy. Since I was trying to be all active and exercisey I decided to walk to work but after my last client left the hell of all hell storms blew in to town. Having walked to work in flip flops and no umbrella I had to wait out the worst of it. Once the rain slowed from a "DEAR GOD! IT'S HAILING!" to a drizzle I began the scary trek home. It was still lightening for goodness sake. :/
Needless to say I needed a little wind down before I started to prepare dinner.

Ladies and Gentlemen.......Vodka Tonic with Lime!


Gulp.... slurp.... snarffle.....

Dinner was chock full of local foods. :)

Mmmmm......


Spiced steamed shrimp.


Sweet potato with butter, cinnamon and a little sugar.


Good ole corn on the cob with butter and salt. So amazingly satisfying.
One a local foods note and on a different day (today) I went to my local baker and picked up an amazing loaf of country 7 grain. Toasted it, slathered it with butter and honey and had myself a lovely snack.

Crunch!


The artistic view. ;)
Pssst..... don't say anything just yet but I saw a sign in the window in one of my favorite buildings downtown that said.....are you ready?!...... Olde Town Butcher coming soon!!!!!! {{{geeking out noises}}}}}

Friday's Food

Boy, I have really been on top of things lately, huh? :) Okay, here goes....


A new Kashi cereal I have been wanting to try....it's like a healthier version of Cap N Crunch, only it gets soggy pretty quickly.


Mmmmm.....coffee, the sweet nectar of life.


Cereal money shot. ;)


A royal bee jelly vitamin I have been taking lately.


Overview.

I have to say that without any additional fruit the cereal didn't fuel me for long and since work wasn't that busy I don't feel I should have gotten as hungry as I did so quickly. But, what are ya gonna do. Except maybe have lunch!


Fredericksburg has a lovely lunch spot called the Fredericksburg Old Town Grill & Cafe where I got this yummo sandwich.


It's called the Autumn Turkey: turkey, gouda cheese, lettuce, tomato, cranberry sauce and ranch dressing.


Sweet Potato Fries.....it was a very Thanksgiving type of meal.

My little niece came into town to stay with Grammy and Pop Pop on Thursday night and the only chance I would have to see her was Friday night. So off we all went to Pancho Villa's Mexican Restaurant.

I had a few chips and salsa, a fruit punch Jarrito and the taco special.


Grilled Tilapia Tacos


They couldn't even compare to my beloved Soup and Taco fish tacos. Oh well.
We ended up sharing a fried ice cream amongst the four of us. So since I ate out twice it wasn't the healthiest food choice day.

I didn't record my eating for Saturday, Sunday and only managed to get one meal on Monday which I will post next.

Ta Ta!

Thursday's Food

I wish I could just update my blog by vocal command. It would be so much easier than sitting at this computer for EVER! :D


Breakfast was a carby affair beginning with organic low fat raspberry yogurt with granola.


Tangy and delicious.


Whole grain toast with Smart Balance.


Lunch called for some roughage. Tossed salad with olives, tuna and creamy french dressing.


My fave.....low fat Triscuits!


Dinner was something new....besides the salad.


Smaller salad with olives and creamy french.


Steak and cheese taquitos. Have to say, not a huge fan.


But this tasty treat made it all better. A delicious homemade cherry Italian soda. Slurp!

Since the latest True Blood DVD came in from Netflix I had a lovely wind down watching an episode or two.


While doing so I enjoyed this Flake bar that my friend Jennifer brought back from England just for little ole me!


A deliciously closer look.


And to end the night a cup of Sleepy time Yogi tea. Sigh.

Wednesday's Meals

Unfortunately I don't have photo's of breakfast on Wednesday.... don't know what happened there. :)


Lunch at work.


Campbell's Healthy Request Italian Wedding Soup with low fat Triscuits.


BLACKBERRIES!!!!


Time for a snack. Organic lowfat strawberry yogurt with plain granola.


A closer look.

Dinner was the BEST this day!!


Salad with sesame dressing.


Philly Roll.


Volcano Roll! My personal fave!


Shrimp tempura roll.


I heart sushi!!

A Week or Two of Food Pics

Or should I say just a taste of a few meals I managed to capture on film.
