Chick Lit

Hello blogland! Another weekend down the drain but I made the most of it for sure. Friday night I attended a happy hour party at a local Mexican restaurant for a birthday! My disordered eating brain was telling me DON'T GO!! That bastard voice has been sneaking up on me more and more lately. I think it's been the extra stress I've been under. But I squashed the inner voice (that makes me sound crazy, doesn't it?) and I forced myself to go out anyways. I managed and ordered fish tacos with black beans. Sure, I felt guilty but I knew I did the right thing by going out.

My morning started pretty simple since I had not done my grocery shopping for the week just yet. Just a chopped peach and sliced banana with Udi's gluten free vanilla granola and vanilla coconut milk. Coconut milk is so refreshing and light! I highly recommend it :)


For lunch I spread a brown rice tortilla with spicy cilantro hummus, cubed tofu, asiago cheese, black kalamata olives, and steamed dandelion greens. This flavor of hummus paired perfectly with the asiago cheese.
And some stellar asparagus tips baked with garlic, salt, and a little bit of EVOO. Who else is loving asparagus being in season right now? Too bad it makes your pee smell....TMI!
This afternoon I met with this great group of ladies for our Chick Lit Book Club meeting at a used bookstore. The book of the month was Confessions of a Beauty Addict by Nadine Haobsh. The novel takes you into the behind-the-scenes of working at a beauty magazine. The book is so well-written, funny, and you really find yourself relating to the main character Bella. I would HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone that loves fluffy chick lit like I do. And it was great meeting with the girls :)
Dinner featured my fave: a Japanese sweet potato. If you can find these at a grocery store buy one. Your taste buds will thank you and me. I baked these as fries with zucchini slices, tofu, salt, pepper, and a bit too much cayenne pepper. Somebody bring me some water please...my mouth is on FIRE!
I'm ready to settle down for the evening and watch The Hills series re-runs I recorded. Season finale on Tuesday!! Anybody else watch this show as a guilty pleasure too? There you have it, my two biggest guilty pleasures in one post. Reality TV and Chick Lit. Hey, it could be worse, right?
