My late lunch (at around 3:30) consisted of pan-fried & marinated tempeh, along with sauteed onions, some lettuce, BBQ sauce & Laughing Cow cheese spread sandwiched on my fave Alpine Valley Bread. I felt it was lacking a bit of crunch so I added a few corn/potato/flaxseed chips into the mix. Mmmm.
I finished my meal by polishing off the rest of this baby:
Definitely one of their best flavors 😀
This evening before work I got bored and made Chocolate Cookie Oat bars! These bars actually called for half chocolate chips, half butterscotch chips, but I only have chocolate. And I had no wheat bran on hand, so I used my handy dandy Magic Bullet to grind up some multigrain cereal flakes & used that instead.
Ehhh…at first I liked them warm out of the oven. But once they cooled, they’re kind of chewy and bland. It doesn’t look like my roommates are such fans either! Aww well I just like to experiment!
I also received a package from Kashi in the mail today!
More Crunchy bars! She sent me a chocolate almond, chocolate pretzel, and chocolate peanut. Perfect, because I have the coffee cake flavor and chocolate caramel flavor in my stash already (as you’ve seen me eat early today!). I can’t wait to try these other flavors 🙂
Because I had such a late lunch, and snacked all evening, I really wasn’t hungry for much of a dinner. I stopped for a double chocolate chocolate brownie, vanilla & cappucino frozen yogurt on my drive. Then I had lots of veggies and had a tiny slice of this cake at work:
Yes…it’s been quite the day of treats! But oh well…yummy yummy! Once I got home, I was slightly hungry and was munchy for cereal:
In the mix w/ almond milk:
- Shredded spoonfuls
- PB puffins
- Kashi cocoa granola
- PB2
Anyone tried PB2 before? It’s a powdered, defatted peanut butter with only 50 calories per 2 tbsp. I know, I know…why not just have regular peanut butter? But honestly, powdered peanut butter can come in handy! Such as when wanting to mix the PB flavor into cereal! It was really good – I got a PB taste with every bite. It’s definitely no replacement for my creamy (or crunchy!), good fat delicious nut butter…but it’s good for other uses! I’m also interested in mixing it into yogurt or cottage cheese and look forward to trying that out!
Well I’m exhausted I almost feel sick! Time to get a mug of hot chocolate and call it a night :-). Night y’all!
Mmm…your sandwich looks divine and reminds me I haven’t eaten tempeh in awhile. oh, b&j…where would a girl be without this ice cream? I love chocolate garcia myself.
ben and jerrys is just a miracle.. i love phish food and half baked.. ah, i need this back in my life asap!
woo woo for the kashi crunchy bars! I’ve never seen the pretzel flavor, sounds like heaven !
have a great day, love 🙂
that sandwich looks good! I was sent the coffee crunchy bar, too! im really excited to try it out! let me know how chocolate pretzel is…thats sounds great! and yes my sister’s boyfriend and his family are taking her to france and italy in a few days- for about 2 weeks– she is so lucky! i cannot wait to go to europe- hopefully one day soon! but i will let you know when she is done reading the book so i can send it your way!
that sandwich and that cake look so good. and i used to love oatmeal cookie chunk when i ate dairy…definitely my favorite ice cream flavor (wish someone would make a non-dairy one!).
my mom is really into pb2–she’s on a pretty low-calorie diet but she loves peanut butter so it has been a godsend for her! i’ve never tried it myself.
mmmm! I love Ben n Jerry’s! my fav is cherry garcia, tho!
Thanks for checking out my blog, I really like yours!
