Today has been specifically focused around some new and delicious treats!
Since I Spin twice on Wednesdays, I always snack like a maniac. Here was my pre-spin goodness…this one was pretty epic. It used what will most certainly be my new BFF:
This spread + hot Millet toast =
Yep…..it was pretty much as amazing as it looked. Dear. Sweet. Lord. I have a new obsession, and it’s name is Millet Cake. I swear it was like the best frosted cake you could imagine, in Millet form…and healthy! Plus the whole snack was only around 170 calories!!! (I used half a serving of the spread)
Headed to Spin for an AMAZING sweat session. I love my 30 minute class because I really crank up the intensity so we can get a full hours worth of effects into 30 minutes. They were moanin’ and groanin’ after song #1!
Worked the floor for a couple of hours when I was finished with Spin, where Kim was gracious enough to feed me a new bar to hold me over until lunch:
This was able to fend off the hunger demons until I got to go home and have a fantasmic lunch…and prepared dinner for later at work! (treated Krucker to dinner tonight!)
This lunch was quick, fruity, and delicious. Much like me. 😉
The cereal base was Annie’s Fruit Puffs and Brown Rice Cereal, mixed with a Pomegranate Chobani. This was topped with strawberries/bananas, and sprinkled with cinnamon/chia seeds. Can’t forget the Almond Butter blob! So good! The plate sums up how the dish tasted:
Also quickly got to work on a sandwich lunch! I was hankerin’ for some grilled cheese action. Started with Ezekiel Bread, and added some Jalapeno Hummus:
Then added some roasted asparagus (sheet pan, oven 375*, salt/pepper) and some natural provolone:
Time to grill!
Melty cheese goodness.
These barely made it to work, accompanied with some sweet potato fries!
Kim also stopped by Panera and got us our favorite soup! Veggie with pesto, and a Hugh Jass wedge of whole grain baguette!
She also managed to sneak in a delicious bunny cookie! Of course, it looks more like some sort of mutated flying squirrel. But hey, you drizzle some icing over a cookie of any sort…and you could shape it like a Windex Bottle and I would be in lurv.
Had half of this cutie:
Thanks, Krucker!
I also may have saved a Koala.

Wow grilled cheese with asparagus actually sounds really good. I am going to have to try that!
The spicy hummus totally made it, you gotta give it a try!
Yummmmm-o! Your plate does describe that bowl quite well! I have yet to try that Dark Chocolate Almond Butter, but trust me…it’s on my list! And…I am buying Millet Bread at WF on Monday! What flavah do you suggest? 🙂

Millet is my new obsession, but I think with that dark chocolate spread, it would turn into an addiction! Looks soooo good!! The asparagus sammie looks delish as well!
It was one of those things were I was like “hmmmm..asparagus….bread…cheese. Yes, please.” haha, I love random concoctions.
Your food always looks so yumilicious!!

ummm yes!!!! Believe it or not, I got it at the dreaded Wal*Mizzle!!!! Who knew they celebrated organic almond yumminess?!?!
alright, what’s better? the chocolate almond spread or nutella?
did you make your sweet potato fries? because they looked incredible!
Gah! I’m so hungry and it’s past midnight! I should be in BED!
I like the chocolate almond spread, plus I think it is slightly healthier. Give it a try, I promise it will not dissapoint!!!!
10:00pm-12:00am are my WORST times for temptation food wise. I seriously wish I could just come home and go right to bed, but it is like my mind will not let me sleep hungry! I would chug water…but then I would just be up 18 times during the night.
Ugh.
oh, p.s. your comment about your lunch totally cracked me up!
hahahahaha, you know it was true!!!!
Ok, you are rapidly becoming my favorite blogger ever.

I want in on the grilled cheese-y goodness! See you tonight! 😀
Oh my gaaawd, that koala is too freaking cute. I want to save him! I would totally get myself that chocolate almond spread, but I would eat it all too fast and then my ass would spread…even wider than it is now, if that’s possible! ha! 😉
bwahahahahahahahahaha ❤ I'm moving to Boston. Make the arrangements.
MUmmmm! Love love love love Panera!
LURV it. It is currently sabotaging my bank account, though.
That grill cheese and cereal combo look amazing! Great eats!
It was yummy! The asparagus was ballin! 😉
Oh my word….I am making it my mission in life to find that Dark Chocolate Spread!!! I LOVE MaraNatha’s AB.
You have GOT to try it. My friend and I were just talking about how it should be frosting for cakes!
grilled cheese with asparagus! interesting! i just recently tried mine with broccoli…tasty tasty!
Yum!!!! Haven’t tried the broccoli! Sounds great though, I love anything broc-related! 😉
Yes chocolate almond butter on millet is legitimately cake! And that asparagus sandwich looks perfect, perfect, perfect. Asparagus is soooooo good!
