Fiber-licious!

Whoa, I’m feelin a little stuffed right now!  For lunch I brought in some leftover Swiss Chard Pie from last night, which was amazing after a minute or two in the microwave!!  I could seriously eat that stuff every day and be perfectly happy. The feta, the chard, the crust… it’s just like heaven to me.  I actually requested it on my birthday this year along with grilled steak the way most people would request a birthday cake.  Yes, I know – weird.

I went downstairs to the grocery store across the street to get something to eat on the side and I settled on another Blueberry Chobani!  I used the same pic from this morning in case you’re wondering…  I know, 2 in one day is a little odd, but it is my favorite flavor and is like dessert. 

Since I knew I was meeting my little this afternoon and wouldn’t be able to grab a snack at my desk I opted to eat my Chocolate Brownie Gnu Bar along with lunch.  Good lord… those things might be small, but the 12 grams of fiber left me totally stuffed!!  That’s 50% of the daily recommended fiber amount!  I really enjoyed the flavor too – all the whole grains made this bar extra chewy and it was thankfully not too sweet at all!  Really can’t wait to try all the other flavors… I’m not a big chocolate person, but today I was totally craving this.  Let’s hope this hold me over until dinner though - or at least until I get back to my apartment and I can make a quick snack.  I’m going to see Vampire Weekendwith the bf and some of his friends tonight.  Really excited… I don’t know many songs, but they play them alot on 90210 and I like what I’ve heard so far!!  Hoping the afternoon goes by quickly… 

Presents!!! :)

I came home today to two lovely packages… the first package was another box of Chobani!!  To be fair I let them know that they had already sent me a box, but Tiffany at Chobani is apparently very aware of how much I love her lovely yogurts.   

Just look at those beauties… apparently I wasn’t the only one curious to see what was inside.  Peekay couldn’t resist poking his little Siamese face around the box of goodies.

My second box o’ treats was from the lovely people at Gnu!  I got a wonderful assortment of Gnu bars to try.  I’m so excited – I’ve never tried their bars and cannot wait to try them.

Especially this flavor…

I whipped up a fabulous Swiss Chard Pie for dinner and popped it in the oven to cook.  It’s not really pie, more like a Swiss Chard souffle over a delicious crispy gluten-free bottom crust.  I’ve never made it on my own though so I was a little nervous…

Since it takes almost an hour to cook I decided to whip up a batch of chocolate snap cookie dough for some Faux-Reos I’m making for Christmas.  This is part of Christmas task #1.  I get incredibly excited about Christmas if you haven’t noticed…

When my Chard Pie was ready I dug in… so insanely delicious!  Swiss Chard wasn’t on sale, so I subbed in spinach.  I guess it was technically Spinach Pie… Regardless, it was sooo good.  Afterwards I had a nice bowl of popcorn while catching up on yesterday’s Gossip Girl and Privileged. 

Off to do more Christmas crafts!!  G’night moon!
