Better taste better nutrition better eggs

I apologize for the delay in posts today! I was in meetings this afternoon which meant no early post and tonight I had the opportunity to learn more about Eggland’s Best eggs!

Nothing reenergizes me more than an interactive food event with a great company and dynamic, vivacious bloggers!

I promise a thorough recap tomorrow but until then I leave you with two things.

1. How can you not smile at this adorable guy?

2. Do you have a blog “elevator speech?” Tonight made me realize that I need one immediately if not sooner!

Goodnight!

Marvelous Monday Meals

Today was the first time in ages when I didn’t get anything take-out or delivery, except for Starbucks! The extra planning guaranteed a delicious day of food!

Weight Watchers Vanilla Almond Oatmeal

1/2 c blueberries from the Union Square Farmer’s Market

1/3 c 0% Fage (on sale at Whole Foods this week)

Venti Iced Unsweetened Green Tea

Delicious and filling!

Lunch was a salad topped with last night’s leftovers.

Tomato slices

1/4 c greek quinoa salad

4 shrimp

2 Tbsp Whole Foods FF Balsamic Dressing

1/3 c green bean salad

Mixed greens

This held me over until 6pm when I got home from my doctor’s appointment. As I was prepping dinner, I enjoyed fresh cherries as an evening snack before our favorite easy, healthy dinner.

Did you know that the butchers at Whole Foods will take chicken breasts and cut them into cutlets for you? We discovered this yesterday during our hunt for easy dinner ingredients. We’ve found that cutlets cook easier and more evenly than breasts.

Chicken cutlets rubbed BBQ spices and pan grilled

Sauteed mushrooms and onions

I’m definitely in a veggie coma! Delicious!

Want a laugh? Bo’s friend discovered this and it really may be one of the most hilarious You Tube videos I’ve seen in a while! No joke!

Maine’s Goodbye Gift

No, it wasn’t these bad boys…

Instead, it was our last minute purchase at the Bangor Airport! We had been on the hunt for fresh Maine lobster during our whole weekend and could only find lobster rolls which DID NOT meet my desires! Luckily, when we were buying breakfast we saw that they had a tank full of fresh lobsters!

These beautiful lobsters were only $12 per pound and that included the ice and Styrofoam cooler.

We had a nice early flight back to NYC and therefore arrived back to our apartment before lunch. We enjoyed the Big Apple BBQ for lunch but by 6pm we were consulting our favorite chef for her lobster suggestions.
