FOOD CHOICE UPDATE
I have had a few bites of land critters here + there this past week —but it’s been mostly veggies + a little seafood!!
ALSO this post contains food from MONDAY + TUESDAY – I just don’t want you to think that I ate all of this in one day!!
———————————————————————————————-
HELLLLLLLO VEGGIE SANDWICH!!
- TJs bread
- romaine
- the most delicious AVOCADO ever —I got it from TJs
- carrots
- onion
- a drizzle of caesar dressing
I microwaved this beauty for 20 seconds —holy amazing!!!!!!!

———————————————————————————————-
MINI REVERSE TACOS
- romaine lettuce boats
- salsa
- TJs mini tacos
They are like little healthy gorditos!! Or whatever taco bell contraption that has a taco in a taco!!

———————————————————————————————-
Moving along to TUESDAY

EASIEST WAY TO COOK PINTOS EVER
- Rinse your beans thoroughly
- cover them with quite a bit of water
- bring to a boil
- stir
- turn heat to medium
- vigorously simmer them for 45 minutes uncovered
- add salt + pepper to taste
- put a lid on it + let them sit for a lil bit
SO GOOD.

BABY TACO [x2]
- pinto beans
- onion
- avocado
- franks!!

I didn’t have coffee this morning + needed a little extra energy.
These beans were OK. They didn’t taste amazing.

It rained all day.
Penny does NOT like to go outside in the rain. She would rather hold her business for days when it is cold + rainy than go outside!!
So she moped around by the door.

My boyfriend gets ANTHROPOLOGY catalogs.
Interesting.

Netflix arrived today!! Perfect timing —since I have a HUGE test tomorrow + followed by the busiest week so far this year.
Total bummer. I’ll get around to watching it some time!!
I LOVED the book —so I hope I love the movie too.

DINNER was a light parmesan red sauce over steamed broccoli –
LIGHT PARMESAN RED SAUCE [serves 2-3]
- brown 1/2 T of butter in 1 1/2 T of flour
- slowly add milk [approx 1/2 to 3/4 cups] while whisking
- add 2 sliced cloves of garlic
- add 1/2 C parm cheese
- add 2/3 C pasta sauce
———————————————————————————————-
This was SO GOOD + kind of like a parmesany cheesy tomatoey saucy !!
I was craving pasta alfredo —so this was a perfect healthier option to satisfy my ITALIAN TOOTH!

Penny wants to be a MODEL for TJs Goat Milk yogurt!!
I didn’t mean to get the goat milk kind–but it looks almost EXACTLY like the european kind!

I think I am IN LOVE with this sweet little box of HEAVEN.
TJs HANDMADE CHOCOLATE GANACHE TORTE—
I could not imagine anything more dreamier. It is EVEN BETTER THAN the fancy schmancy little cakes that I used to get at AMELIES!!
AND it is available at all times in my freezer!! DANGEROUS!!

After taking a peek at the NUTRITIONAL LABEL I decided to only have a little sliver.
Totally worth every calorie!

All wrapped up + air tight + going back where it came from!!

Back to the books!!
Night All!!
Cheers!!

I swear,you are the best free advertising TJ’s has! Always makes me want to skip across the boarder and shop til I drop –or until they make me pay duty to bring it back
And I think I might be able to get behind that parm red sauce. I’m thinking especially if it was part tomato/part roasted red pepper sauce. Mmmm.
Love the looks of that veggie sandwich. And Holy goodness,that torte looks sensational!!! So rich and decadent. I love those desserts where all you need is a little sliver to be ENTIRELY content and satisfied. Why do people feel that they can eat crap loads of “fake”sweets but not an ounce of the real thing. HATE that!
<3 you girl!
Mmmm raw onion sanddddwiiich.
Love your tacos!
Great movie!
Reverse tacos! So cute!
How did the goat’s milk yogurt taste?
I agree with Marianne,TJ’s should hire you sister!
That chocolate torte would not be safe in my house –good thing I haven’t seen that one yet haha!
I used those sport beans in my marathon and found them a bit funky as well.
meh.
That Chocolate Ganache cake looks SINFUL! I will have to look for it next time at TJ’S!!
Doesn’t TJ’s just have the best products? We had their chocolate molten lava cakes last weekend…a.mazing!!
THAT CAKE LOOKS INSANE!!! Yum
My dog is the exact same way. He hates the rain so much and it is simply amazing how long he can hold his “business”. He will also stop eating and drinking until the weather changes which is no healthy:( Poor guy!
For wines,I LOVE Gnarly Head wines. They have a really good “Old Vine Zin”and a realy good Cab Sauv.. they are nicely priced,10 bucks a bottle. Definitely check them out!
I would feel so honored to be on my favorite blog
Haha,LOVE the reverse tacos…so neat! And that sauce sounds amazing.
Enjoy your movie!
xxoo
