Green With Envy

I woke up this morning, took a quick shower, had a bite of my Chocolate Chip Clif Bar and got ready. After rushing through the morning, I eagerly went to the kitchen and got out my supplies! That's right, I was FINALLY going to try the infamous green monster!

My Supplies:

• BIG Handfull of Spinach


• about 1/3 of that "Mix" Smoothie drink (I don't care for it straight up!)


• 1 Banana


• 1/2c Frozen Strawberries


• 1/6 of the container of Silken Tofu (I have NEVER cooked with Silken Tofu..or Tofu.. before and am psyched to play around with it!) I got the idea to try Silken Tofu from Miss Lilveggiepatch in this post!


• Probably about 1 or more cups of crushed ice. Seriously, it was NOT getting thick!
  Meh. It was good and I could not taste the spinach (which I was not afraid of anyways), but I think it wasn't quite sweet enough for me! What should I add to give it some UMPH!? Alongside, I heated up an Oatmeal and Date Bar...which I made here and then froze! Let's get a better picture of that bar, shall we?!....

There we go!

I worked today from 11:30-5 today at the FroYo shop. It was early release day for Middle Schoolers and it was CAH-RAZY! Seriously, I almost pulled my hair out! I won't bore you with my ranting, but I do have a funny story to tell you...I'll do it in dialouge format:

This kid came up and was like "Can I get a water?". I was like "sure". And he was like "So how much will it be?"
Emily: "$1.61"
Kid: "Well I only have a dollar"
Emily "Okay well it's $1.61"
Kid: "Hey Tommy (name changed for protection of the child..pahaha actually, I just don't remember it!), do you have any change?"
Tommy: "Yea, here's a quarter"
Kid: "Okay, I have $1.25"
****long pause*****
Emily: "Okay, well it's $1.61"
Kid (After talking to a few more friends): "Alright, here's $1.55"
Emily: (about to explode): "It's $1.61"
Kid finally gets $1.61 and I couldn't have been happier to ring him up and get him out!

When I got home and got around, it was 5:30 and I just wanted something quick!

• Carrots


• Cucumber Slices


• The Rest of my Refried Black Beans


• A Big Spoonful of my Hummus Prize from An Apple A Day! I LOVE this Sonny&Joe's Hummus....and so does my family; which is not so great because I have never seen this brand around here...but I share! :D
• Just a Few Tortilla Chips
  Afterwards, as tired as I was, I wanted to go to spinning (on the way, I had a small handfull of dried berries and Almonds)! I really like my instructor and she just makes the hour FLY by! When I left around 6:45 it was POURING! No, like, you could not see two feet ahead of you. Better yet, I had to park waaaay in the back of the gym because when I got there, there were no parking spots. SO, after spinning my heart out for an hour, I got a nice ~1/2 mile jog to my car...at least I got a free shower! ;) It really did feel good though! Driving home was another story, but I made it safe and sound!

When I got home, I dove into my stash of Emily's Desserts (what a fitting name!), which Emily herself, so graciously sent me! I chose to try the Dark Chocolate Chip Cookie and wowzers...

The edges have a bit of crisp to them, while the overall texture of the cookie is delightfully chewy! It also has a rich dark chocolate flavor that is only enhanced by the abundance of dark chocolate chunks! OH. EM. GEE! These babies will satisfy any and every chocolate craving in an amazingly enjoyable way! :D YUM!

Look at that dense center! YUMMMM!

I would strongly suggest that you click here to learn more about Emily and her DELISH VEGAN DESSERTS! They are very reasonably priced too! As satisfied as I was after this chocolate delight, my body had been over worked today and needed some more carbs. So I broke out the Kashi GoLean Crunch! Seriously, I get through a box of cereal every 4 days or so! There are worse addictions, right?! haha

Well, tommorrow shouldn't be too much different (Except the food, of course!) because I work 12-5 again and my instructor is teaching again, so I WILL BE THERE! :D

Oh yea, I missed Sonic's Free Float night (saddd..) because

A. Our Sonic is about 5 minutes away and we have tons of kids around where I live. (aka crowds)

B. I saw the line taking up the whole left lane of the road while I was driving home from spinning and was not in the mood to wait.

C. I had enough of my brother's Slow Churned Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream last night to make up for the whole week! hehe!

Have a fabulous Thursday!

If you haven't yet, ENTER MY GIVEAWAY! The winner will be announced tommorrow! As I said before, you all are so clever, that I am having a third party with fresh eyes pick the winner! Short or long, I love them all!
