Chad’s dad was passing through town so we all 3 got to sit down to a nice lunch together! We went to Pike’s – an old fashioned soda shop {and finer diner!} in Charlotte – aka – the most adorable place ever. The last time I was here I got the black bean burger which…
That Darn Meatball Sandwich
Chad came home for lunch and I excitedly asked him if he wanted me to make a turkey meatball sub for him with the leftover turkey meatballs we had (the idea had come to me the other day while cooking the meatballs so this excitement was just about at it’s peak after marinating in my…
T-T-T-Tuna!
{The above title should be said like Andy Bernard} My waffle stack did an incredible job of holding me over this morning! It was well after noon before I started to feel like I needed to eat something. Lunch was surprisingly delicious! I was craving tuna and luckily happened to have some on hand. But…
Protein Packed
The weather seems to be looking up! Hopefully this cold stretch is just about over! I was craving some veggies for lunch so I pulled out a bunch of stuff from the fridge to whip up an easy salad: In the mix: Spring mix Black beans Baby carrots Hard boiled egg Seitan Protein packed! Topped…
From Dinner to Lunch
Last night’s dinner became today’s lunch! Love when that happens I simply took the rest of the brown rice from last night and layered it with: Shredded Trader Joe’s Grilled Chicken slices Trader Joe’s canned black beans (rinsed and drained) Homemade guacamole Salsa Trader Joe’s Greek Yogurt Trader Joe’s Blue Corn Chips Filling, delicious and…
Fearrington Village
We made it back to Charlotte! But before we headed back from our Chapel Hill trip we headed over to Fearrington Village I instantly fell deeply in love with this place! It was just so breathtakingly beautiful and just such a nice treat after being in the city for so long. While there were SO…
There’s Tar on My Heel
Sorry for leaving you hanging the past couple of days…it’s been a bit of a whirlwind but a fun one at that! I hopped the bus from Atlanta to Charlotte on Friday – snacked on a little hard-boiled egg sandwich to hold me over… And a handful of granola. From there Chad and I made…
Mainstays
My sister and I are obsessed with Maine. Both my older sisters went to college in Maine (Bowdoin and Bates) and we’ve sort of been obsessed ever since. My sister has this “Maine” sign hanging in her kitchen and every time I see it reminds me I desperately need to get there for a trip…
Rain, Rain…
Go away… Come again another day… It’s been a laaaaazy down around here! Just ask Clara… I’ve successfully completed nothing since I last left you…except for getting the Photo Grid app on my phone (I already love it) and taking millions of pictures of Clara while she sleeps the day away. As my sister and…
Smoooooth
It’s a smoothie kind of day out there! I’ve already accomplished so much and it’s barely the afternoon! While Clara had a lazy morning in mind… I was up and at ’em and ready to go (must’ve been that delicious breakfast!) Around 10:30 I headed off to the gym and did a quick 3 miles…
A Day
Oh, hello there. It has been a DAY. Around lunchtime I ran over to my favorite store in the whole world: Trader Joe’s and grabbed two of my go-to items for easy meals: Healthy and filling without having to lift a finger! They’re a little heavy on the rice for what I’m used to or…
