Cannon Balls and Chicken Stix

Monday is ovah!! But to back up to Monday for a second...I didn't get a chance to go to the grocery store Sunday, so while I had things for snacks - I decided to pick up my favorite sandwich for lunch.

Veggie Sandwich from Catonsville Gourmet. I have never gotten anything else here because I love this sandwich so much. Grilled Veggie Burger w/ cucumbers, tomato, lettuce, sprouts, and wasabi mayo on whole wheat toast. Now I hate mayo, but they barely put any on and I really only taste the wasabi kick. The veggie burger has that grilled flavor that I adore.

After work, I came home to some FUN mail from Kristina @ Stonyfield. Coupons for Oikos Organic Greek Yogurt, some information about their product and a reusable bag!

I actually tried to cash in these coupons at the grocery store last night, but they were SOLD OUT of the Oikos Organic Greek Yogurt, so I will have to pick it up next time!

Last night, I wasn't in the mood to spin, so instead I spent 45 mins on the Arc Trainer and my legs were burning. Felt great.

After the gym, Kevin and I headed to the grocery store and we were RAVENOUS. We split up and sped through our shopping, although a bag of Pirates Cannon Balls was opened during our shopping because we just couldn't wait.

Coming home, I had a quick and easy Tofu Stir-Fry planned, but while the tofu was pressing, I remembered I had stashed these beauties in the freezer for a rainy day.

2 stix = 100 calories, 4.5g fat, 5g protein

We baked the entire box in 12 mins flat and I ate 4 - they were incredible. I was in a zone and couldn't be stopped.
The dipping sauce we used is actually a salad dressing we picked up at the store. Makoto Honey Ginger Dressing.

It tastes like the dressing on the salads at sushi restaurants. I am picky about salad dressings and I could eat this with a spoon. I tried to get a picture of the nutrition facts, but it came out blurry. (Website link: here, if you want the info.)

By the time dinner was served, I was full of Balls and Stix. Super nutritious, I know.
I ate a few bites of Tofu Stir-fry and was FULL.


Do you usually have a snack while you are making dinner? If so, what is your go-to snack?


My favorite light post-gym/pre-dinner snacks are either sliced zucchini w/ hummus or a handful of roasted peanuts.

Catonsville Gourmet

For lunch this afternoon, I ventured about 10 mins away from my office to try a new place, Catonsville Gourmet. It is located on main street in Catonsville and had lots of parking behind the building, which is a MUST in that area of Catonsville. Since I just wanted to grab my lunch and come back to eat while I work, I called and ordered ahead of time. After checking out the menu online, I decided on the Veggie Sandwich because I felt like I needed some vegetables.
Once I arrived, I perused the small market that sells a bunch of different fresh seafood, meats, pre-packaged side dishes, homemade sauces, sandwiches, salads, and desserts. I am so glad I stopped in here because i will definitely be going back to take advantage of some of this fresh seafood. The scallops and shrimp were HUGE. I would also love to try the lobster mac & cheese - how sinful does that sound?!
Now on to the sandwich. It came with a veggie patty, red and green peppers, sprouts, lettuce, tomato, cucumbers and a Wasabi aioli on toasted wheat bread. On the side were homemade chips and sweet pickles. Everything was extremely fresh and the veggie burger was grilled which gave it some extra good flavor. There was just enough aioli for me to taste a hint of the wasabi kick, but it wasnt overpowering. I loved this sandwich and I know it is going to be added to my list of items I crave. The homemade chips were crisp and delicious without being oily, so I ate the majority of those too.

Afternoon snack was a new kind of yogurt for me that I found at Safeway the other day. It is called Rachel's. I tried the Exotic Pomegranate Blueberry flavor. Wow - this stuff was great! excuse me...wickedly delicious. I added another very ripe peach in order to re-create the yogurt peachy juice from yesterday and also threw in some Honey Almond Flax GoLean Crunch. This is the best mixture! I am currently obsessed.After work, I headed out for a run and I did 4.35 miles (according the America's Running Routes). Ran the first 2 miles around the park with Oscar and then I had to drop him off because I was dragging him. I decided to run down to Blockbuster and return SuperBad to finish out the run. It was a relaxing run and my legs felt strong.

I am heading up to The Brewer's Art in Mt. Vernon, an area in Baltimore to have some dinner with my boyfriend. He has been working there part-time for awhile to make some extra cash and I havent been in yet, so I want to go in and try out some of the food because he wont be working there in another 2 weeks! His full-time business world job is needing his full attention in this last quarter of the year.
