Messy Food!

Happy Saturday blog friends!

I’m eating Breks as we speak and waiting for the sista to arrive.  Today we’re going to pick up our bridesmaids gowns for her wedding!!!  I’ll try to post pics tomorrow.

Friday was chock full of fun messy food!

But first, my Breks today…

  • one of my whole wheat blueberry muffins with a little yogurt butter
  • handful o cherries (time to restock!)
  • coffee a plenty

These muffins are SO good!  I linked over to the recipe in this post.

After a giant night of sleep (hello 8.5 hours) I feel bright and and refreshed!  Last night Hubz and I watched Religulous with Bill Maher.  It was good and raised a lot of solid questions for the religious community.  Has anyone seen it?

Din on Friday was takeout from my second husband…Chipotle.

  •  Chipotle’s Burrito bowl with the spicy beef barbacoa, black beans, lettuce, cheese, GUAC, and fresh tomato salsa
  • I ate about 6-7 of those amazing chips + more guac

Here’s what the bowl SHOULD look like once you dig in!

I ate about half, total.  Their food is just SO so dang delicious.

If you’re not familiar with Chipotle, you SHOULD be.  For ethical meat eaters like Hubz and I, Chipotle is an amazingly aware, ethical, and sustainable chain restaurant.

From their website:

Since 2001, all of the pork served in our restaurants has been from pigs raised in this humane, ecologically sustainable way. In addition to all of our pork and all of our chicken in the US, more than 50 percent of our beef is naturally raised. And we’ll continue until all of our meats in all of our restaurants meet this standard.

And what’s cool is that you can click on a map of the US and see how your state offers each type of meat in their restaurant.

My pre-din Friday night drink.

  • Magic Hat Brewing Company’s Lucky Kat IPA

Friday’s exercise was a 30-minute run on the treadmill followed by extensive stretching for my ankle and shins.  And so far, my shin splints have not returned, thankyouverymuch.

Lunch at work also ended up messy, which was fun.

  • I treated myself to a salad bar salad loaded with veg and protein, topped with my homemade honey dijon dressing
  • POPCHIPS!
  • bowl of cherries

My work friends and I sat outside and enjoyed nice convos and the beautiful weather.

Friday Breks was my standard smoothie.

  • Banana, mango, raspberry smoothie ala television.

Ok, I gotta jet and go do wedding stuff with the sista!

    Messy food is the best! I haven’t had Chipotle yet but I don’t know what I’m waiting for! Maybe while I eat that I’ll watch that movie because I’ve been meaning to see it ;)

    I think I’m going to have to track down one of these infamous Chipotle’s the next time I’m in the US. We are seriously lacking in good Tex-Mex restaurants around here.
