Watch Out, Hungry Girl Coming Through!

Hi, guys! I am just eating dinner now at 8:45, which is WAY too late for my stomach! Its used to eating around 6:00 pm, so when I walked in the door after work and my first class (which was great!), it was a mad dash straight to the kitchen for me! 

I munched on carrot sticks and TJ’s crackers while my veggie burger cooked in the Griddler. Here’s a shot of my plate, mid-dinner… 

Mr. Mal just poured me a glass of red wine, so I guess that’s my dessert for the evening!

Lunch was a special treat today! I met my friend, Becca, who also works in Harvard Square, for lunch at Wagamama’s. It was so nice getting out of the office and enjoying lunch with a girlfriend!

Not realizing, I ordered the exact same meal that I ordered the last time I visited Wagamama’s: Grilled Yasai Salad, which was marinated and grilled eggplant, portabella mushroom and squash, combined with caramelized red onion, roasted sweet potato, asparagus, diced tomato and served with mixed leaves, served with whole wheat noodles and garnished with pickled red ginger and sesame seeds. I guess it sounded good on the menu both times! 

Again, it was delicious– all of my favorite grilled veggies in one meal!

Of course, after finishing lunch, I was craving something sweet, specifically chocolate! On the walk back to my office, I popped into Starbucks for a… ready?… decaf, tall, soy, mocha, misto. (Translation: half decaf coffee, half soy milk with mocha syrup). What can I say? I’m high maintenance!

(The water drops on top of my cup is from the rain/snow mix that we had all afternoon in Boston. The weather was icky today!) 

My afternoon snack was a vanilla Chobani mixed with a sample of Bear Naked fruit and nut granola, which was amazing! I might buy this brand of granola the next time I am at the grocery store. Loved it!
