2 and 0

Another “Amazing” smoothie this morning for Breakfast IMG_5770today.  This time I gave the Pomegranate Mango Infusion Amazing Meal

The Mix:

*’member when I started straining my own yogurt to make greek IMG_5773yogurt/yogurt cheese, but I felt compelled to save the whey that dripped out of it because it’s too nutritious to throw away?  How perfect is it to add it to smoothies rather than water to thin it out?  It even had the vanilla flavour of the yogurt, so it was a perfect addition to make it whirl around in the blender!

Okay bloggies another home run for Amazing Meal!  So far it’s 2 – 0! Loved it! I really liked the green smoothies I was making a while back, but so far these two AM concoctions have been better!  I drank it on my way to work over a period of about 50 minutes (oh yeah it’s back to school time and commute time has more than doubled!) and I was hungry for a snack at around 11, but I decided to hold off for lunch.

For Lunch I skipped off to Local Joe’s Cafe & Market for their soup of the day.  Today’s soup was Miso!  I’ve had this once before and it was soooo good!  It wasn’t like other Miso soups, it’s more like a lentil & carrot soup:

And I had some “Jasmine & Flowers” tea which I was not a fan of at all!  It was like drinking perfume :-/  The soup completely rocked though!  It kept me full all afternoon.

I came home after work and immediately ran upstairs to see my li’l Lu-ster to see how she was doing.  She was asleep on our bed and of course as soon as she sees me she gets all excited and starts honkin’ like a goose because of her kennel cough.  It breaks my heart!  I really hope that this clears up soooon!  I just hate that we have to leave her and go to work while she’s home sick :-(

Supper was some fresh cod that I bought at the Farmer’s Market in front of the Victoria General hospital on Friday.  It’s been eons since I’ve had cod and I loves cod! (Oh yes, I said “loves”)

I decided to bread it in planko crumbs and some of the Tyee Fish Rub from Epicure:

IMG_5761IMG_5762I have to say, while I don’t “dislike” this Epicure product, I don’t find it to “wow” the fish at all.  I’ve used it three times now and it’s always just “meh” and nothing I couldn’t live without.

I really love cod though.  It’s such a beautiful white fish and has such a mild but distinct delicious fresh flavour to it.

Steamed up some broccoli, green beans sprinkled with a four cheese blend and some whole grain brown rice:

IMG_5768 No dessert because then I went off to meet Farm GirlJaime and Lex for a coffee and a gab session at Starbucks (whoops no pic!)  I sipped on a Venti Refresh Tea (2 bags), 2 pumps of peppermint syrup and a sploosh of honey.  Perfect evening gab session beverage for a crisp first Fall evening!

I'm really enjoying hearing about the products you've gotten to try for "not-so-free"...lol
I'm not sure I'd ever be brave enought to try anything in the shape of a drink w/spinich in it, but admire all you have accomplished!

Can I just say how jealous I am that you actually get to hang with your Haliblogger buds?

Why does Canada have to be so damn big???

Hope you get your 49 bucks back!

Poor Lu-ster!!!! Honking like a goose!!!
BTW, she is going to get LOTS of love while we are there...me and Danny want to get in some walking and stuff, so we will try to brave Lucy (hopefully we are well trained from Charlie!)

That is an awesome way to use up the yogurt cheese liquidy stuff!

Angie: I know I always like hearing detailed opinions about products and not just whether or not you ate it, so that's what I'm trying to do here.

Tamara: I feel SO LUCKY that I've found such great blogger friends right HERE in my area! I am making progress with the $49 and will elaborate once it's straightened out.

Julie: Thanks doll! No, not a new camera, but I'm trying to learn more about it and how to take better pictures!

Lisa: It was a yummy day overall :-)

Jen: Oh I will PAY to see you walk Lucy and see how you handle her when she passes by another dog or person. PAY! lol

Cat: I'm still sort of in denial that you guys are coming! Can't believe it!!

peanutbutterliss: doughy bread is MY WEAKNESS!!!!
