Tardy Friday’s Eats!

Apologies for the lateness of my post for my eats for Friday! I got caught up in too many things last night and before ya knew it I was watching a movie and then was ZzZzZzZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz :-)

But of course I’ll share with you guys my eats! For Breakfast I decided that I had better put my loaf of Ezekiel 4:9 Organic Sprouted Whole Grain bread that I’ve had in the freezer which I enjoy alot! I am all about the chewy dense kinds of breads, I find them so satisfying, so this morning I had two slices toasted with some PB2 and a half of a banana sliced on top. With my cup of coffee with Scotsburn blend cream and sugar free cinnamon dolce syrup from Starbucks:

Oh and Roxy commented about the candles. I realized the other day that I have spent far too much time “saving” things like “good” candles or “good” plates etc for special occasions and I’ve seen what a difference it makes on other blogs when you just add a little candle light to your meal. It doesn’t have to be a special occasion and it truly DOES make the meal a little more pleasant and it has made the start to my day a little better too :-)

After I got into work, I was treated to a lovely cup of tea from Tim Horton’s with a little milk:

Ezekiel made an appearance today at Lunch too. I made an egg salad sammie on two slices of Ezekiel bread:

The egg salad consisted of half of this mixture:

• 3 hard boiled eggs, with two yolks removed
• 2 scallions snipped
• 1/4c shredded carrot
• 1 1/2 tbsp kraft calorie wise mayo
• S&P

I love these 60 calorie portions of Cracker Barrel light cheese too! They are perfect! They are thick enough that you can cut them into 6 reasonable pieces (cut in half “width-wise” and then into 3 pieces length-wise). Oh and since my second Lululemon water bottle dropped and smashed to the ground (boooo), I am using my water bottle from the Bluenose 5K that I ran last year :-) It feels good to be reminded that I ran my first 5K even though my doc still hasn’t given me clearance to run again :-(

And for an afternoon Snack I had a skinny vanilla bean latte from the Second Cup when I scooted over to the mall:

While I was some exhibits set up for the YMCA Immigrant Woman Project and there were lots of craft type tables set up and also some food! A Korean lady grabbed my attention who had some samples and I tried some Japchae (included sweet potato noodle, spinach, carrot, onion and mushroom) and Kimchi (included nappa cabbage, onion, green onoin, garlic, red hot powder, salt and ginger) which I ended up buying for Supper.

The Kimchi was spicy but I like a little spice now and then! She said that they eat Kimchi three times a day and is very healthy and high in fibre. That part was served cold and the Japchae was served warm. It was all really good!

I didn’t finish all of the Kimchi (too spicy). Maybe I should be added tons of spice to my food so that I refrain from finishing it!

I had all of the Japchae though and it was gooooood. There was definitely some sesame oil in there which I love, but she didn’t mention that on her note about the ingredients at the table, but it was in there for sure. I’d be disappointed if it wasn’t though because sesame oil is one of my favourite flavours in this kind of food. I’ve had these noodles before and they are such an interesting and yummy texture! I think they are the same thing as cellophane or vermicelli noodles?:

Then I had to “cool” down my mouth, so maybe the spicy kimchi which I didn’t finish turned out to be some added calories after all because I had TWO of these Tofutti Cuties Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream bars:

But I have to say all in all I didn’t snack at all for the rest of the night which was good because I got home way to late to get my workout in before supper and then I just didn’t get it done at all :-( Booooo me! I couldn’t seem to settle down and concentrate on one I had to get done. And I ended up watching a movie with hubs which was long overdue.

So I am happy to see a great response from you guys about a free giveaway. I mean of course you’re going to be interested, right? I’ve just never done one before so I wanted to gauge the “interest-o-meter” before getting to work on getting something cool to give away! I just love you guys so much for reading my blog and supporting me, so I want to come up with something to show my thanks :-)

If anyone wants to direct me to a starting point as to getting something donated for a giveaway, I’m all for that too :-) Please leave me a comment if you haven't already to keep my "interest-o-meter" ticking!
