Coming to an end

Breaking Catching up is hard to do!

The weekend is almost over and I am sooo sad to see it go :(  I am not ready to start the work week. Blah!

So, let’s start with yesterday…

The hub and I rolled out bed early and headed to Nashville to the new farmer’s market. It’s literally two blocks away from my mother-in-law’s house so I asked her if she wanted to go and she said yes. We stopped at her house to pick her up and visit a bit and then we headed down the street. It was really small, maybe 15 stands but perfect. It wasn’t crowded at all and it was the perfect place to get in, get what you need and get out.

One the way home we broke into the beef jerky. I love homemade beef jerky but I was sad to see on one of them one of the ingredients was MSG. :(

Original and Spicy

I had a handful

ok maybe 2

or 3

It was yummy yummy stuff!!! We were bad and did not eat breakfast and on the way I thought we could just get something at the market but there wasn’t anything. Oops! Needless to say, by the time we got home we were starved.

My goods:

okra, rolls,corn, spaghetti squash, cucumbers, jalapeno, and a purple bell pepper

look how pretty

I made a famer’s market lunch

sliders with the rolls I got

which were AWESOME!!!!

and okra fries that I saw on Meghann’s site 

I did not like the okras fries AT.ALL! I kinda dont think I cooked them long enough cause they were really mushy. I think I didn’t even eat 10.

It was a colorful meal though.

Now, I am ashamed to admit this but I cooked a soup that had leftover ground meat, the corn, jap and purple bell pepper and some other things. After it cooked for a few hours I tried it and it was nasty so I threw it all out. I lost my purple bell pepper but gained a valuable lesson… I suck at making up my own soup recipes :)

For and afternoon snack I had some more beef jerky. It was so dang good.

The hub and I decided to eat with his dad and stepmom (since I ruined what was going to be dinner) at a local pizza place. I didn’t take any pictures cause 1) it was really dark in there and 2) i didn’t feel like dragging out my camera and explain to them once again I started my blog back and have to go through all that again so I just let it be.

To start we split a large tossed salad with romaine and iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, black olives and cheese and I had ranch dressing while the hub had italian. We order 1/2 pepperoni for the hub and 1/2 garden for me. The garden had black olives, spinach, red onion, bell pepper, artichoke, cheese, and ricotta cheese and avocado but I subbed the avocado for tomatoes. It was not that good. I usually order pepp pizza from here so maybe that’s what it was. Not sure. I ate 1 whole slice and then 1/2 way through the second slice pulled off all the toppings and just ate the sauce and crust. I have had veggie pizza before so I don’t know what the deal was. I should have just stuck to pepp and really should have stuck to eating pizza at home. I seriously think Publix pizza dough is my all time fav especially for the price. After dinner we all went to Best Buy so the in-laws could get new laptops and I had a sweet tooth so I grabbed some twizzlers at the check out. Bad idea. I think the combo of still being hungry from dinner because of the crappy pizza and a sweet tooth I ate almost a whole pack (you know the small packs that hand rather that the lb. bag) in about 2 minutes. I woofed it down hard core and within the hour I was sick the rest of the night. I even woke up a couple of times throughout the night thinking I was going to loose it. Never did. Thank goodness. We got home really late last night. Late night + hurt tummy= no blogging for the night

This morning when I got up I still felt a bit queasy. My body was hungry but I was not. My body was thirsty but I was not. I knew I had to eat though so i kept it light and simple and exactly what I wanted. Soup!

This was Amy’s Alphabet Soup with a roll I got at the market on the side with a little butter

and orange slices

I ate everything but about 1/4 of the soup.

For desert I had two of these sweet things

It’s so weird cause just a year ago I hated dark chocolate. I never chose it and always turned it down if it was offered to me. Now, I choose dark chocolate and love it.

A few hours late my hunger struck up again

I had a boca burger on a mini whole wheat bagel with american cheese, little mayo and hot sauce, some pickles and…

a tower of watermelon!!!!

I love watermelon! Yum Yum!

About an hour later I heard this bad boy calling my name

These get kinda messy so I decided to eat it with a fork

One bite in I knew it was missing something… ICE CREAM!!!

I took half of these cupcakes to my mother-in-law’s house so we only have 2 left :(

I wasn’t really hungry for “dinner” so I had a few grapes

I didn’t have a real dinner but I can feel myself getting hungry again. I hate to eat this late but I don’t want to wake up in the middle of the night starved (been there, done that) or first thing in the morning. I might go have a little snack in a minute.

Gotta get ready for tomorrow! Night!
