Hi everyone! I am going to post about Monday and Tuesday which included some delicious dinners….and desserts! Let’s get started!
Monday
Since I ate chips and bread the entire weekend, I really did not want oatmeal for breakfast. I made eggs in the microwave instead! I also had some yucky office coffee because I was extremely tired and there was no Tazo Awake tea left!
I had a Z-Bar before lunch since the eggs did not fill me up for very long.
Lunch was anything BUT turkey. I resorted to a good old peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
I had a 2nd Z-Bar during the afternoon as well because one of those packages from yesterday arrived with a bunch of bars in there. Could not resist 
I skipped the gym Monday and decided to go to Whole Foods with Jackie!
I made a salad with:
- Baked Tofu
- Chickpeas
- Black Beans
- Sesame Broccoli
- Grilled Mushrooms
- Roasted Brussels Sprouts
- Carrots
- Seaweed Salad
I also stole some of her pizza of course.
We bought single serving beers that they sell right before the cash registers but the cashier told us we were not allowed to drink them in the store. Why sell them at checkout then? We would have drank them anyway but we did not have a bottle opener! We drank them at home instead with some ice cream. Not sure what happened to that picture!
Tuesday
I brought some apple cinnamon oatmeal that I received from Hallie along with plain oatmeal, a banana, and Artisana Raw Sunflower butter.
Yummy! I used to be obsessed with apple cinnamon oats as a kid so this bowl was extra delicious!
Monday night I received my Nature’s Pride bread from Foodbuzz to try! I decided to make a sandwich for lunch with it.
I pulled out the whole wheat and put the 12 Grain in the freezer. Pretty nice nutritional stats and ingredients!
I topped it with Barney Butter and Crofter’s Superfruit spread.
With some Pretzel Crisps on the side.
I highly enjoyed the bread! I am used to the thin little 45 calorie slices of bread so the huge thick slices were extra delicious. I would definitely buy this bread in the future.
Later in the afternoon, I received a package. I won another giveaway from Emily at My Chubby Confessions. More Zevia!!!
Now I have a nice little stash to keep in my desk at work. I am most excited about the cute shirt!
I snacked on a Z-Bar and Root Beer Zevia later in the afternoon. Yes, I get to read People magazine for work purposes.
I skipped the gym again yesterday. I really tried to wake up in the morning to work out because I knew I could not go after work. I kept passing back out every time I hit snooze-fail. I will definitely get back there today since it’s been a week. I cooked a nice dinner instead!
I made a similar dinner to last week’s Mexican meal!
This time I spiralized some zucchini to mix in the crumbles!
It makes chopping them into small pieces much easier!
I mixed everything together with some Miguel’s Chipotle salsa. That stuff is spicy!
I also made corn.
Brown rice.
And ate blue tortilla chips on the side!
I made a salad with mushrooms, peppers, mozzarella cheese, and cucumbers.
I topped everything else over the salad! Heaven!
I drank a beer or two of course
I could not finish that huge salad. My eyes are always bigger than my stomach. Lots of leftovers again!!!
I chilled and watched TV for the rest of the night. Of course I ate ice cream too.
I had a mix of both. The cookie dough is so good!
I added some Whole Foods brand whipped cream on top.
I was proud of myself because I didn’t go back for a 2nd bowl! I was completely stuffed from the Mexican salad, beers, and first bowl of ice cream!
That’s all for Monday and Tuesday! I just did a half hour on the elliptical at lunch because chances are I won’t want to go after dinner. Hopefully I do some sort of workout DVD too since I’ve been slacking a bit!
Daisy says, “Have a nice day!”
Okay…really weird. Just as I typed that about Daisy, my dad sent me an e-mail. It said:
Daisy says, “Sqeak, sqeak”. Translation: Hi Melissa
Haha love it! She is at work with my dad right now! I wish I could bring her here!!

I used to LOVE the sugary oatmeal packets like the apple cinnamon, the raisin and spice was my packet of choice! just so sweet and good!
i have a similar problem with eggs, they are DELISH but never fill me up!! I try boostin the protein by adding lean turkey or laughing cow cheese in them sometimes, that helps with the hunger
thanks for posting the giveaways!

Congrats on the no binging, I'm really glad the journaling is working for you!
Your salads look fabulous. I love a good salad, especially from Whole Foods (although they are super expensive).
The Zevia shirt looks great on you! I've been wearing mine to workout, it's so breathable, I love it. I'm still drinking my Zevia too, I really enjoy them.

LOVE the Zevia T-shirt, Missy! I was one of the 6 winners in Averie's contest and so I got to try Zevia (Black Cherry is my favorite so far!) and I got a T-shirt, too. I'll have to post a pic of me wearing it soon.
And thanks for linking to my contest!

I'm dying to try Zevia!
I don't fill up on eggs either. The only things that works is if I blend egg whites with oatmeal to make a pancake.
Have fun with your man!
p.s. I love your hair!

I definitely thought the eggs in your first picture was ice cream and I was able to say I love you for having ice cream for breakfast.. It's okay though — I love you anyways
isn't that Zevia shirt SO comfy? I sleep in it regularly!
[Reply]
your eats always amaze me! i love it. I need to pick up some of that ice cream, i see it at the store all the time!
[Reply]

OMG your kitten is PRECIOUS!
Is it not so weird to actually be busy at work? I know you know what I'm talking about, haha. Whenever that happens, I get all pissed off like, this is seriously cutting into my blog reading time!
[Reply]
I recently discovered z-bars! I have the chocolate chips ones and they're so good! Have a good rest of the week!
[Reply]
I was so tempted to buy that cookie dough last time, but went with the mocha almond fudge. I'll have to try the cookie dough next!
[Reply]
I love microwaving eggs… you only have to clean one bowl!
Look at you go on the giveaways! You're on quite a roll. Hope you had a great day!
[Reply]
Aweeee hello kitty
seriously awesome food post ! everything looks awesome.
your zuccihini dish!? yummy
[Reply]
LOve the look of the WF salad, but your homemade one looks awesome too! I think it would be incredibly cool to have a party with just zillions of salad things like a WF bar…or just live in WF. 72 hours and I'll be half-way to NY!
I used to love Quaker apple oats! Homemade apple + oats + cinnamon just isn't the same. The raisin, date and walnut one is really good too- tastes like a cookie!
[Reply]
Your Dad was so sweet to send that email.How thoughtful.I hope Daisy switches to the bowl soon:-) cc

Sounds so yummy, that zuch with salsa…I am stealing that tonight. So I am wondering if you are up for co=sponsoring a cookoff of baked treats without baking (I have no oven yet in Europe!) I'll supply the prize if you help me promote it…
[Reply]
I definately want to try that ice cream! It looks yummy!
