Busy Tuesday!

Hey everyone! I'm going to have to try and make this quick because I have a long day ahead of me. I didn't want to wait until later because there is a possibility I may actually have to work later than 9 because we have a late shoot so the likelihood of me wanting to post then will be slim to none :)

Just got all my meals together for this long day so check em out!


I mentioned a week or two ago that I've been craving cold cereal like crazy because it has been so long since I've had it. I've had a hard time finding an interesting gluten free cereal that isn't horrible for you so you can image my surprise and delight to be scanning the cereal shelf at Trader Joe's and finding this big gluten free stamp on a box of Puffins!! I love Puffins!


So for breakfast I had a bowl of Puffins gluten free Multigrain cereal with banana and unsweetened almond milk.


For lunch I made this gorgeous sandwich on a gluten free tortilla! It has hummus, greens, carrot, cucumber and sun dried tomatoes.


My intention for dinner is to eat this salad with stuffed grape leaves. However, I realized that we have appointments booked from 5pm until we close so that may not be a possibility. If I don't get to it today I'll eat it for one of my meals tomorrow. I also made the following...


An awesome homemade trail mix! This will be easy to snack on between clients, is nutritious and energizing. This one has raw almonds, raw cashews, dried apple rings and a few dried apricots. Yum!

I hope you all have a great day! Time for me to finish getting ready :) Hopefully I'll be home before 10 and I'll be looking forward to unwinding by catching up on your blogs!

    I love the tortilla shot! It's cool how you can see the layers and the way you sliced the carrots looks really nice. Homemade trail mixes are also awesome.

      Thanks! I just peeled the carrot with a veg peeler. I thought it would be easiest and also less messy than a grater :) I agree, homemade trail mix is where it's at!

    Puffins are great-both the cereal and the birds. ;-)

    I bought some Ezekial tortillas at Whole Foods last night. I like to have them with melted vegan cheese and chilies.

    I hope you're having a good, if long, day!

      Yum that sounds so good! I stocked up on tortillas the other day at trader joe's :)

      Thanks! It went pretty quick thankfully!

      Thanks Molly! The Puffins are so good, I love the cinnamon ones but these are definitely good too. I'll just have to sprinkle some cinnamon on there myself.

      Thanks! It was so good!

      Thanks Rose! The sandwich was sooooooo good! It was my take on a sandwich I had eaten while I was in Orlando. Made to my specifications naturally :)

    That is an incredibly gorgeous sandwich! I would gladly pay $8 for that sandwich in a restaurant.

    Whew! What a long day - I hope you had a little fun sneak in there!

    Ooh, Puffins do sound fantastic, I'm glad you found them. Agreed with all the above on your sandwich - it looks beautiful and tasty! Homemade trail mix is a great idea, I should make some to take with me to work.

      Well, I was by myself for a good chunk of the day so I may or may not (read: definitely) have taken a few twitter/email breaks in there. Shhh! Don't tell ;)

      I LOVE Puffins! They taste great and have a great texture. Thanks!! The sandwich was AMAZING and definitely try out the trail mix! I'd love to see what mix you create!

    Your food looks extra delicious today!! What containers do you use for the food you take to work? I like the divided areas.

      Thanks Sophie!! Soooooooo you caught me, I actually stole that particular container from my brother's tupperware stash when I was house sitting one time :X They never noticed ha! I'm pretty sure they got it at the 99 cent store? The other containers are all just tupperware I usually get from the supermarket or containers I save after I order takeout. I'm thrifty like that.

      Nice! I'll have to keep an eye out. I pack my husbands lunches and something like that would be handy!
      You can find LA Colors polishes at Dollartree...yeah just $1! That's where I got that one.
