Hey hey! Happy Friday!
I woke up this morning to a blanket of snow covering the ground. Barf.
This was the first time since we got Maddux that there has been snow, so it was interesting seeing his reaction.
His thoughts? “What. The. Hell. Is. This. Shit?”
Actually, those were my thoughts, too.
After 5 minutes outside he was shaking, whining, and lifting one paw off the ground and then the other like he didn’t want to touch the cold ground. Oh, Maddypants, you are in for a long, long winter, buddy.
And now, a look at “What I’ve Been Stuffing My Face With All Week”.
The batch of kale chips is long gone by now.
As are the chocolate chip peppermint cookies. I had some raspberries along with that cookie, as if that makes it any healthier.
Tea sample from Whole Foods. I just took it cause it was free. But it actually was pretty good.
These are awesome. 70 calories and 6g of protein for a frozen yogurt bar? I’ll take it.
Soul Vegan Lasagna. Ugh, that crap is delicious.
And a Pellegrino for my yuppie ass.

Chicago peeps – Ever tried Capt’n Nemo’s? You should! Not only do they have great subs, but their soups are awesome. You can buy them hot or frozen and several are vegetarian. They also have turkey, beef, and veggie chili, which I have yet to try. The guys working there are super nice and there always seems to be cops in there eating (generally a good indication about the food). Oh, and bonus – there is a free parking lot.
Tonight is my work Christmas holiday party.
Should be a good time!
Stay classy, folks!















I still need to make those cookies..and yes raspberries totally make it healthier.

Where did you find the soul vegan lasagna? Whole foods?

Yep. In the grab and go section. They have a bunch of other things too – gyros, blts, etc.
I love Capt’n Nemos and have to agree with you – their soups are AMAZING!

Have you tried the chili? That’s next on my list.
Omg, 1) when did you update your blog to be Christmas/holiday-y?? PRECIOUS!!

2) Not gonna lie, the cabbage thing looks kinda gross but…
3) The vegan lasagna looks AMAZING! Whole Foods, or Trader Joe’s? Good news for me is that I’m back in Phoenix for the break, so I have access to TJ’s once again!! Hooray!!

I got the lasagna at Whole Foods, but I think it might only be local as the restaurant that makes it is here in Chicago.
Yay for Holiday work parties – always fun to see your co-workers when alcohol is involved! haha.
Funny..when I got off work this morning and saw the snow, I said the same thing you said..except more angrier because I figured people would be driving like idiots. Sigh. Welcome to winter.
P.S. I nominated you for the Versatile Blogger Award on my blog!

Mmm. so much good comfort food! And I see you’ve been loving the chocolate peppermint combo in cookie form, as well!

At least your dog shares your feelings re: the snow, rather than dragging you around in it like it’s the coolest thing ever. The first time my dog saw it, she had a cone on her head, and decided to use it as an extra appendage with which she could toss the snow in the air. Since then, much to my dismay, it’s been a love affair with snow.

Hilarious.
Man, vegan lasagna sounds delicious right about now. Then again, what doesn’t sound delicious at 6:30 in the morning.

That vegan lasagna is my favorite! So tasty. I’m going to have to try that cabbage soup – I’ve been feeling under the weather and that sounds so delish right now.

I hope you had fun at the work party!
Ours is tomorrow. On a Tuesday. What kind of crap is that? Don’t think I’ll be getting TOO tipsy, but plan to enjoy some vino, nonetheless…

Seriously? On a Tuesday? Lame. Oh well, I’m assuming the wine is free at least
Girl, I WANT those Greek yogurt popsicles. Those look awesome.
Have fun at the party!
