Sorry for the missing post yesterday, I was busy until my head hit the pillow! I started the day with a big bowl of fiber cereal with tons of fruit.
For lunch I made a veggie sandwich with hummus on sprouted wheat bread. I missed the pic because I was inhaling it before running outside for recess duty. I forgot to take my usual 3pm snack to school and I came home really hungry. I had a PB Larabar to hold me over until our dinner guests arrived! I also hit the elliptical for quick 30 min. exercise fix. It wasn’t a great workout, but it wasn’t bad and it made me feel better.
John and Ashley arrived for dinner around 7:30! We were hoping to enjoy dinner and drinks on the deck, but the hot, sticky weather kept us in with the air (it was a good decision because it ended up storming all night). We had simple appetizers of hummus/veggies and chips/salsa. Brady took a few pics, but they aren’t very appetizing and we all know what those things look like, so I will leave them off!
Dinner was grilled chicken marinated in Trader Joe’s Black Pepper sauce. The sauce was ok, not one of my favorites.
We served the chicken with the tomato-mozzarella wheat bulgar salad I made last weekend. Brady was not here to try it last weekend, and Ash is a frequent blogland reader and wanted to try the bulgar too. I have to say, I really enjoy this simple dish! It’s chewy and natural tasting but has great flavor!
We also had tons of grilled veggies!
For dessert, Ash brought a frozen yogurt I had not tried: Edy’s Berry Granola Fro Yo. It was wonderful! We added tons of fruit to our bowls, plus AB and sugar-free choc. syrup! I ate it so fast, there was not time for a picture, whoops!!












Despite the weather, it definitely looks like you had a great dinner!! And other meals, as well
