How cute is he with his messy hair and new Davidson shirt!?
Whole Foods is one of our favorite lunch spots because there is so much variety. Soup? Salad? Hot Bar? Sandwich? Pizza? Raw fruit? 1,000 different drink choices? They have it all.
Pizza and broccoli for the bean –
And a garlicky kale salad with a tamale, catfish, grilled eggplant and plantains for me! LOVE Barefoot Bucha – perfect blend of sweet and tart.
What did you have for lunch!?
i’m eating a chickpea salad as i read this! started making dried beans/peas in my slow cooker and it’s been awesome. actually easier than canned beans/peas, in a way!
Tell me more about your ratios 🙂
I started cooking beans in my slow cooker and the only one I seem to cook well are the black beans. Larger beans like Great Northern and Roman seem to get mushy. If you’ve done these two beans in the slow cooker with success, I’d appreciate if you could give the water amount and the time it took to cook them. : )
Yum! We have this place called Avoca here in Ireland…you would love it!!! Favourite lunch spot!
Salsa chicken and green beans for me! I loooove the pizza at whole foods. I haven’t had it in years, but now I want it! 🙂
I pretty much do 6-7 cups of water per 1 lb of beans or peas. plus a tablespoon of salt. my inspiration: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/slow-cooker-chickpeas-recipe.html (chickpeas) and http://cafejohnsonia.com/2013/02/how-to-slow-cooker-black-beans.html (black beans). I usually dump them in the slow cooker around 7 am before i leave for work and come home to yummy awesome beans/peas around 6:30 pm. easy (chick) peasy.
Thanks!!
Is the first picture in your house and the last picture in Whole Foods? It looks like you have the same chairs! That’s kind of cool! 🙂
Haha yep!!
I love Whole Foods’ raw broccoli salads. Are you a fan? I’ve made some attempts to recreate them, but with no success. I love your blog!
Yes they are good but usually too many onions for me 😉
I enjoyed a slightly later lunch of a pasta salad I made earlier in the week [and shared on my blog 😉 ] consisting of kale, roasted garlic, smoked salmon, lemon, parmesan, short-grain pasta + an apple and roasted mixed nuts. Mazen looks adorable in his Davidson shirt!
Homemade broccoli cheese soup!
Is it just me or does Mazen look a bit like your dad? Adorable!
Ha, Whole Foods leftovers for me! Picked up some hot bar yesterday evening while shopping. In previous posts, you sold me on the mac ‘n cheese and garlicky kale, so I made sure to get some!
I can’t believe how big he is! Boy does the time fly. Love Whole Foods.
Your son is very cute! I love the chair behind him in the first picture. Do you remember where you got it?
It was actually my mother in law’s from the 90s!
I had a poached egg over toast and an orange. Dull perhaps but good!
butter chickpeas and saag, which, coincidentally, I learned about here eons ago when you posted a saag and red lentil dal meal 🙂
love wf lunch bar. I always get a kombucha but never have room for it with lunch, so I usually save it for later
That lunch looks fabulous!!
I love whole foods hot bar, but today’s lunch was a peanut butter and raspberry jam sandwich on flax bread, with an apple on the side. And a cup of chocolate chai tea.
PB&J on whole wheat. It was quick and tasty, 🙂
I am on the 5:2, therefore some plain yogurt only (later at dinner I’ll have a light dish)
When I travel for work I always try to hit up Whole Foods for lunch. I love the variety and knowing there will be healthy options. Win, win!
Ooh, I spy your kitchen which looks fabulous. Still wish you would do a house tour of your new house :). It just looks wonderful from the glimpses we’ve seen!
Me too!!!!!!!!!!
