Friends In Low Places

Kelsey saved the saved the day when she shared her fruit stash with me during Clinical

this !

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.

IMG_1047 (1024x768)

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…

IMG_1058 (1024x768)

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.

IMG_1063 (1024x768)

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.

IMG_1061 (1024x768)

I had a buttered slice of Flax Oat Bran on the side

IMG_1060 (1024x768)

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!!!

    I had soup tonight too but it wasn’t nearly as healthy/hearty as yours. Should’ve added some greens!

    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!

    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!
