Kelsey saved the saved the day when she shared her fruit stash with me during Clinical
I had 3 grapefruits and about half a kiwi. It tasted so. good.
The afternoon wasn’t bad though. I wasn’t that hungry. But I am still thankful!
I had my You Bar at 5:00 right when class started (when I ate at EarthFare I didn’t get hungry at all until 6:30!) I received a random selection of You Bars as a sample a while ago. This “Great Date With Chocolate” was one of the smaller bars, but it did have protein powder in it. Here’s a link to their popular bars page with the nutrition facts and ingredients list.
My bar was a little smushed and it was very sticky against the package. At first I wasn’t that impressed, but it really grew on me. It was just like a chocolate fudge brownie!!! Very good. Similar to the Clif Nectar chocolate walnut bar, but much fudgier – which I liked. I wish I could say I’d order these, but that the price point listed, I don’t know…
Clinical got out a little early tonight!! Yay for being hungry. The wonderful husband makes dinner for me on Wednesday (as long as I plan something for him to cook and have the ingredients ready) and tonight was this delicious soup: Chickpea, Tomato, and Spelt Soup.
As far as I know, the only changes he made were leaving out the onion and celery and adding some kale (which was a great touch). He also did a combo of spelt, rye and wheat berries instead of just spelt. The soup was awesome – bursting with flavor and chew.
I had a buttered slice of Flax Oat Bran on the side
And not 2 minutes after taking this photo, I relocated to the couch 
The husband was already up to bed and I was lonely.
Here’s me getting sleepy:
I’m looking forward to some sunshine tomorrow! Wheeeeee!!!

How nice of the husband. Ha. Mine does that too as long as I have a recipe laying out for him and the ingredients all visible.
Mmm that soup looks amazing! I wish I had someone to make me soup.
that looks like the perfect soup on such a snowy day!
I had soup tonight too but it wasn’t nearly as healthy/hearty as yours. Should’ve added some greens!

Fruit salad always saves the day
That bar looks quite yummy and so does that kiwi! I tried a new bar today, the Luna Sunrise in Strawberries and Cream…it was pretty tasty too
That grapefruit and kiwi combo looks fantastic right about now!
How sweet! That soup looks divine.
That soup looks great!
Seeing all the yummy bread you eat makes me want to bake bread or seek out yummy bread. I think most of your bread is either made by your husband or store bought?
I know I don’t comment often but I do read every post and love them!
Thank God for leaving out the onion!
How many free loaves a week DOES your husband get??? Just wondering =) I had a friend who used to work there and she got a free loaf per shift.
Gina ,
Welcome!
Ashley,
We have a household wide bread-buying freeze so all of our bread is Great Harvest.
Sarah,
You are correct
Biz319 ,
You know it!

Thanks for the bar review! Love that bread!
The you bar looks great. I will be looking for those this weekend! I think its great that the husband makes dinner on Wednesdays!! Josh is good about making dinner if I need him to as well (but yes I also have to lay out the ingredients with directions
). Hope you have a great day Kath!
Yay for getting out early and for that soup. Yum!
The soup looks fabulous!
Thank goodness for fruit-sharing friends!
Wow, a free loaf of bread every shift?! I would be in heaven!
That soup looks sooooo good! Thanks for the Youbar heads up
That’s so nice that the husband cooks for you on your busy nights! I need to train mine to do the same, hehe
Those Youbar’s look SO good! I hate that they’re so expensive to customize:P
Wow, that soup looks delish! I think I’m going to have to try that recipe out this weekend!
soup looks great – I love wheatberries in anything. So chewy!
