Dinner and Dessert

I often get asked what I eat for dinner, as I normally post Breakfast/Snack/Dessert or Post Workout recipes. Although this is not exactly what I eat at night (the only thing missing is my 908g bag of DOLE CHOPPED ROMAINE), it is pretty close. I really love dinner time, and look forward to it daily! I sometimes alternate between a bag of broccoli slaw or shirataki noodles, and always add at least 2 cans of yellow/green beans.
My staples include:
Dole Romaine 908g bag
Sushi Nori Sheets (at least 7+)
Canned Green Beans
Tomatoes
Mushrooms
Mustard/Salsa

I was out of my Romaine, so instead I changed it up a bit and added a 340g bag of microwaved (with low sodium soy sauce) Cauliflower, a bag of Broccolislaw, 2 cans of green beans, cucumber

I thought I'd do a picture step-by-step type lay-out. I also decided to keep it Vegetarian and Vegan (I often get asked for ideas).

Excuse the spice/dressing laden glass bowl! As a base, I used 1 bag of Mann's Broccolislaw. I microwaved it with seasoning, and a bit of Walden Farms Asian Dressing.

While I was microwaving the Broccolislaw, I made my 'Cucumber Dessert Salad'.

This one had 2 Cucumbers, a packet of Sweetener, Crystal Light (or any low cal drink mix), and

lemon juice.

I separately microwaved the Cauliflower with someLow Sodium Soy Sauce.

Next I chopped up my tomatoes, and got my Shrooms ready for "Dippage".

Once the Broccoli Slaw was done, I added the Cauliflower, 1 can of Green Asparagus Style Beans, 1 can of yellow cut beans, a ton of Mrs. Dash, and Johnny's Jamaica Me Crazy Seasoning Salt.

I dumped the tomato, and shrooms on top (I eat them separately, and dip them into my home-made Mustard Dipping Sauce).

I counted about about 7+ Nori Sushi Sheets:

I always use these as a 'mini wrap' every night. Nori is chalk full of Trace Minerals!

I usually take each sheet, fold it in half and rip it. I then fold the 2 halves together into 3's (accordion style) and rip it, so I have 6 mini pieces per 1 sheet of Nori. I then fork some of the food into the Nori, and eat it. I keep a bottle of Mustard with me, which I liberally squirt as I get deeper into the bowl (Mustard+Sweetener= HEAVEN! Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce). I normally add green onions etc, but hadn't done my grocery shopping!

Of Course I had dessert after, which was my packet of Chocolate Protishake made into 2 huge bowls of Protein Ice Cream, and my Pack of GG Scandinavian Bran Crispbread/PGX mixture.

Making it work- great chill day!

I am quite proud of myself today, in that I was able to slow down and really change my mood and have a great day! I was up early and felt really off. I made an effort to smile at people and talk to them. I talked to the awesome ex-military security @ the gym (it's in a corporate oil and gas firm building) and my favorite trainer (who quit) was there this morning! I did 55min watching Will and Grace reruns, Flavor Wave Oven Turbo infomercials as well as zoning out and de-stressing. After I took my time enjoying the gorgeous sun and weather! Hello Vitamin D withdrawal- How I've missed you!

I ate an unpictured EGG CAKE, radishes, mushrooms, celery, and a killer Cookie Dough/Batter/Protein Sludge made with

51g Fiber smart Powder

 Pro Performance Elite Whey Isoburst French Vanilla Protein

Davinci Sugar Free French Vanilla

Walden Farms Calorie Free Pancake syrup

Sweet and low.

I also had my Tropical Cucumber! 1 huge cucumber, sugar free drink mix (I used the tropical pineapple president's choice brand), lemon juice, sweetener, jello!

I got ready and headed out with my 'weekend' friend. First stop was Whole Sale Superstore for radishes. FAIL again- spores, moldy..... always the case. Have to hit up the other store tomorrow!

I DID get another HUGE Sunspun Yellow Mustard and a 10 pack of Juicy Fruit Pineapple Orange gum.

We decided to be immature and get the huge cart for out mini purchase:

Next we hit up our Superstore and I ended up getting 6 Dole Chopped Romaine 907g bags,

6 350gram cauliflower cut bags, ANOTHER 12 packs of gum, 2 Walden Farms Strawberry jams, 2 French's Bold'n'spicy mustard's, 1 PC gourmet whole grain mustard, 30 cans of cut wax beans (15 yellow, 15 asparagus style green), 3 Litre Salsa, light bulbs etc.

We made a quick pit stop at the place I pick up the PGX granules to grab an extra, and my friend ran to the used book store and bought me the first Chicken Soup for the Soul book (sentimental value) I read as a surprise!

Last stop was COSTCO! Celery, samples, mushrooms, and ANOTHER huge French's Mustard, a new HUGE organic spice blend bottle, 3 pack of Nature's Best Egg Whites,  a 24 pack of Talking Rain beverages and as a surprise the gorgeous ITALIAN OPERA CD SET I've been lusting over!

My interesting way of getting this into the apartment (I had 2 HUGE reusable grocery bags ON EACH shoulder totalling 4 bags packed with the romaine, cauliflower, etc).

 Imagine this times 2. The bottom was crammed with cans of the green beans, salsa, mustard's, gum etc.
