WIAW: Carbalicious

by naneraday on May 22, 2013

Hi friends!  How about a little What I Ate Wednesday aka WIAW action??

I am finally typing with two hands but I am taking it easy because holllllly hell my arm is sore.  I can only imagine how stiff I’d be if I had that thing on for 6 weeks like they initially told me.  Phew.  Dodged a bullet there.  Anywho, back to the food.

Classic eats in this household.  Toasted whole wheat english muffin smeared with almond butter and topped with sliced naners.  We’ve actually been hooking Duke up on the post outside in the morning while we chow down his and her eats.  Such old timers, I know.

Before I knew it, it was time for lunch.

Its an ongoing joke at our office that Mike and I always have the most stuff which I’m not arguing because we do.  We usually just bring all our salad fixins’ for the week instead of packing salads each night.  The allstars of this salad being the creamy blue cheese from our fellow Midwest state, Wisconsin, and the heirloom maters from my friends at KAP Farms that I met at the market.  Oh DUH!  Can’t forget the croutons aka toasted bread that I received as a get well gift from a coworker.  His wife even grinds her own flour.  Did I mention they have 5 kids?  I swear she has superwoman powers.

Farmer Fun Fact: When Mike asked what the difference was between heirloom and regular toms, the young man working the stand explained that they are a tomatoes in the natural state.  Apparently tomatoes were multicolored before we genetically modified them to be all one color.

A cara cara orange went unpictured which brings us to dinna

Grilled cheese on the same bread in the rant above with a dipper of roasted red pepper and tomato soup.  Sneaking those greens in by throwing some fresh spinach in the bottom of the bowl before ladling in the soup.

And because it just wouldn’t be right to not have a little something sweet on Hump Day, I had this little dish of heaven

Caramel icecream with a sliver of apple pie from Bruno.  He’s addicted to the apple pie squares from Costco so he’s always sharing the wealth.  Best neighbor eva.

Food Revolution Day 2013

by naneraday on May 21, 2013

Eek!  Its been foreves since we talked last.  My bum arm coupled with a close friend in from Hawaii has put our already chaotic life in overdrive.  Besides all that jazz, I had an absolute blast celebrating Food Revolution Day.  As most of you know, I am a Food Revolution ambassador and I hosted little shindig at the Lisle farmers market.  Here is to whole foods grown locally, sharing the movements message, Cook It. Share It. Live It., and an overall gorgeous day at the market.

Not to mention some of the most the mind blowing almond croissants and sticky buns you’ve ever sunk your teeth into.  Special shout out the KAP Farms, Shotsie Bakery, Natures Pasture, and Windy Acres Farm.
