Gonna Make You Sweat
And this, blog friends, is my kind of short cut dinner.
TJs Pav Bhaji…in a box!
Mixed up with diced chicken (free range), slivered (local) zucchini, and onion. Served over a teeny smidge of wild rice, a side of farmer’s market corn, and a slice of whole grain bread (baked in NJ).
This ended up being SUPA spicey, which was an unexpected and fabulous surprise! I LOVE spice! Since I used cooked chicken, this meal took about 10 mins, front to back, to prepare. I think it took the longest to toast the bread, lol!
We had Core Power Yoga xs 2 tonight, with a his and hers performance. Which mat do you think is mine?
Hubz made it thru the first 17 mins and then stopped. This is some hard shit. Definitely not beginners yoga.
I was SOAKED. See!
Afta work, I swung thru the local farmers’ market and here’s my loot:
- $1.49 cherries from Washington (from Shop Rite, not the farmers’ market)
- local white corn
- local maters
- local mixed bag of whole grain rolls
- lemon tarts
- a granola bar dog treat for Hillary
All for less than $20, including the 5lbs of cherries I bought!
My afternoon snack came via a fabulous box of GNU Flavor & Fiber bars from the kind and generous folks at GNU Foods!
I had the chocolate brownie bar (half) and it was very good! A very pleasant surprise, and this beaut kept me full from 3pm-8pm!!!
Lunch in da cube farm. How sad, right?
- leftover eggplant roll from the Italian spot nearby. This was JUST as good reheated several days lata.
- my boring everyday carrot topped with supa special pecan butter
- cantaFABulope with local blueberries
Breks today was a little special cuz it involved Chocolate. A choco banana smoothie with almond milk and ice. What a lovely Thursday treat.
Happy Friday to everyone!

Lauren says:And a very Happy Friday to you too my dear! Hope you have a wonderful day.
That is so cool that a farmers market is on your way home. If I was this lucky, I’m sure I would be stopping almost everyday. Nothing like fresh fruit and veggies just picked!

insideiamdancing says:YAY curry! I am impressed with your farmer’s market- mine doesn’t sell much more than wine and cheese (though they had an oatmeal stall which was cool!)
Have a great weekend

Christina says:I never usually end up liking chocolate nutrition bars. That Gnu bar kind of looks delicious though and I think I’m going to have to give chocolate another try!

elise says:i’ve only tried one gnu flavor…i was only so so on it though. it was the cinn raisin one. what do you think of them? for some reason i was expecting a bigger bar. but i suppose its the perfect size for a mini snack that doesnt ruin your appetite.

Marianne says:I am impatiently waiting for local corn to be in the stores here. It’s still a little early, and I refuse to buy the stuff from California - it’s just not the same!
