Hello, hello! I’m not sure how it’s become Thursday, but it all feels very sudden. Probably because I haven’t had a whole lot on my agenda this week. I’m excited to have a bunch of to-do’s to tackle in the remaining month before school.
I didn’t make dinner (or blog) last night because I got hit with another migraine. I don’t get them all the often any more but when I am struck it seems to happen in sets. I took medicine in time to still have an evening, but our dinner plans were ruined. Instead we got take-out.
That’s a buffalo chicken sub and french fries from Jim’s Steak-Out.
I also ate half of a Rollo McFlurry, but the pic is on Adam’s cell phone and he’s not home. I’ve been obsessing over these ever since I saw them advertised last month, but it ended up only being ok. I love caramel, but vanilla ice cream just doesn’t do it for me.
Fast-forward to this morning when I enjoyed a bowl of Fiber Plus Caramel Pecan Crunch with skim milk.
For lunch I decided to try these Soy Boy Okra Courage Burgers I’ve had in my freezer for months.
I tried mine toasted, on a bun with a slice of sharp cheddar and a drizzle of ketchup.
I didn’t love it, but I didn’t hate it either. The nutrition stats (130 calories and 13 grams of protein per patty) are great but the flavor didn’t blow my mind. I think I’d like to try one on something less bready before I make an official decision.
I did love pile of roasted green beans I had on the side.
It’s official: roasted green beans win the Emily’s Favorite Veggie award. I’m also in love this new plate I got at Anthropologie on my birthday.
I’m keeping the afternoon low-key (ie watching tons of “Charmed”), but at some point I am going to finish making my #tgfa cookie balls so I can mail them out to the winner tomorrow. I’d also like to make that dinner, but let’s not write anything in stone! 😀
What is your favorite veggie? Roasted green beans top my list, but eaten straight-up I’m obsessed with baby carrots.
