On My Derriere

I wish I could say this post is late because I was super busy yesterday but in actuality, I didn’t do much of anything. I hit up my favorite sites for some quality intellectual stimulation while sitting on my derriere. Does walking to Harris Teeter to buy a lotto ticket count as a workout? If so, that was it. Before you get too excited over there…no I didn’t win the $54 million jackpot. I didn’t even match a single number. Sad stuff.

Lunch (I woke up so late that this cannot even be called breakfast).

1/2 a grapefruit the size of my head (which is shrinking as we speak!)

Slice of millet bread with Cinnamon Vanilla Sunflower Seed Butter and bananas

A parfait made with Kashi puffs, ground flax seeds, cottage cheese, TJ’s European Style yogurt, cooked quinoa, and raspberries.

Homemade Iced Coffee

Dr. Kracker Seedlander flatbreads with some goat cheese.

Then I used the leftover cooked quinoa from my muffin making to whip up a cool, refreshing salad. It may be Christmas colored but it tastes just like summer!

Quinoa Tabbouleh Salad

Ingredients:

• 2 cups cooked quinoa
• 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
• 2/3 cup chopped tomatoes

Sitting on my derriere makes me snacky snacky.

+Dried Mango

Dinner on the balcony with the ‘rents. I had some salmon, green beans and the rest of the quinoa tabbouleh salad.

Dessert:

Then I whipped up 4 batches of AllieBars. As always, there was some quality control munching .

Toodle Loo. Have a great weekend!
