I got the inspiration for this dish when I was in the mood for buttery toast.I know that sounds devilishly unhealthy, but I paired it with some awesome steamed veggies. I took a couple of thick slices of baguette tossed them in a pan with a couple pats of butter and toasted them on up. I topped it with a mix of chopped tomatoes, parsley and green onions. On the side I had a mix of mushrooms, broccoli, squash, carrots and chopped parsley. I chopped up a couple of lemons and and tossed them in the mix, I put all of this in some tin foil and stuck it in the oven at 350 for about 20 mins. This is the result!

I stopped into Zen 5 sushi for a quick snack and wasn’t in the mood for a roll so I opted for a sunomo salad. Surprised and the beautiful presentation and at only 6 bucks it was a very filling salad. Seaweed , octopus and sesame seeds all in a cute little martini glass.

MMmm,…easy drinker for 10 bucks! From our friends in Australia, Milton Park Shiraz. Perfect for a Sunday sipper!

When I got to the gym this morning I realized that I hadn’t eaten breakfast and was stirring up quiet an appetite. In search for a quick and filling snack I stumbled on the Apex iced oatmeal cinnamon roll breakfast bar. I plucked it off the shelf and began to much. This little bar boasting to have more protein than 2 eggs was being put to the test.

The texture was good, one typical of a performance bar, chewy compact, not super reminiscent of a cinnamon roll but a nice sweet flavor which I often crave in the mornings.(Who am I kidding?? I want sweets all the time) About the size of my palm, I wanted more to eat but it did fill me up for the duration of a 50 min cardio work-out. All in all it was above average compared to other bars I’ve tried. My only negative,… all the ingredients, I’m not a huge fan of the 40 and some odd number of them.
