Oh my friends, I was down and out on Tuesday. I think I might have had a sinus infection or something but I was wiped out. I slept for 12 hours (well, woke up at 5:30 a.m. to realize that I really didn’t have any energy to move), and slept some more during the day, AND then another 8 hours Tuesday night. Came Wednesday morning, I was still pretty wiped out. Oy! So, I didn’t have breakfast on Tuesday… Lunch Homemade “cream” of mushroom soup. Essentially I just throw all of my veggies in a pot: cremini mushrooms, onion, garlic,...

Girls Scouts’ Thin Mint cookies . Dinner: Wendy’s plain baked potatoes topped with cremini mushrooms sauteed in butter, a little Limoncello, and chives. Fresh & Easy Swiss truffle. A handful of strawberries. Fage yogurt with peach. . Satisfaction level: Low. I don’t know why! I mean, I’ve eaten a lot...

Guys, at this rate, going meatless is becoming a normal part of my routine. Very comfortable with it now. Then again, it’s easy to do when you have a restaurant downstairs selling awesome vegetarian/vegan sandwiches at lunch time. 🙂 Breakfast: The usual coffee treat from Starbucks Fage yogurt with peach puree. Yum!! . Lunch: Half of the French Onion Soup Melt sandwich from Mendocino Farms. Grilled onion on melty aged gruyere on pretzel roll. Organic tropical iced tea A nice dose of sunshine Afternoon snack: crackers and a big spoonful of whipped cream cheese. . Dinner: Trader Joe’s frozen entree...

I went to my college friend’s wedding yesterday. I knew she is religious and as I received the invitation, I found out that he is too. It’s a match made by God, essentially. I have been to many weddings: a full mass in beautiful cathedral and Christian-light ceremony which I really don’t mind. I’ve been to the we-made-our-own-tradition, and this-ain’t-about-God/gods ones, and those are usually quite fun. But this one totally takes the Holy Roller cake. It’s a little bit frightening when every sentence of the introduction of the ceremony had either God or Jesus Christ in it. And then...

10 weeks. 1 accidental egg. I think I’m doing pretty good! Breakfast: A tall decaf Americano with half-and-half, Sugar in the Raw, and Caramel Sauce…not syrup. And YES, I like my coffee like my men: tall, decaf Americano, white and sweet topped with caramel sauce. 😉  I was too stressed out to eat anything else that morning. However, lunch came at me fast. . Lunch: The Vegan Spicy Soyrizo & Black Bean Wrap from Mendocino Farms in my building. The place gets PACKED very quickly so by 11:45 I was already ordering. . Dinner: Homemade French Onion soup from...

I fell off the wagon. Just a little bit. Having been up very late on Monday night, I rolled out of bed on Tuesday and made myself an egg on toast. *sigh* Breakfast: A slice of buttered 7-grain toast topped with one sunny side up egg cooked in a pat of butter along with slices of vine ripen tomato. A mug of English breakfast tea . Lunch: A small Caesar salad with no croutons. Hey, I’m already off the wagon on the egg today, I might as well! A few spoonful of butternut squash bisque which was absolutely disgusting A...
