All because of eating crap all day yesterday. I had french fries, bacon, brownies, ranch dressing, chips, cheese dip... and so much more.
After those pancakes everything went downhill!
It's ok though. I am definitely suffering for it. My stomach doesn't handle stuff like that well anymore. I fell into a food coma last night and woke up with a food hangover. Lovely.
I'm back on track today though.
This morning we had "junk food cereals" for breakfast! Haha you thought I was back on track!
I am.
I love the Kashi Go Lean Crunch. To me it tastes like Honey Smacks. Do y'all remember that cereal? The Kashi has the same rice puff things.
I don't eat cereal often but Jess over @ Jess Just Because reminded me how much I love fresh fruit with ice cold milk and crunchy cereal. I love her blog and I want her life. No joke. This is just 1 cup kashi, 1/2 cup blueberries, and a cup of soy milk.
On a side note my mom asked me why I buy soy milk instead of cow's milk. Honestly, it's just a flavor preference. I just like the taste of soy milk in my cereal and coffee better than regular milk. No health reasons.
The squirrel's cereal on the other hand was delicious too! It tasted exactly like Cinnamon Toast Crunch!
But without all the added junk!
She is a fan!
I think since I ate so badly yesterday my body was craving good things...
For lunch I made the ultimate veggie sandwich.
It included cucumber, tomato, green leaf lettuce, roasted red peppers, hummus (sabra red pepper), and dakota bread from Great Harvest.
Unbelievable! Once it hits your lips.... Ahhhh! (Name that movie y'all)
Plus I had some fruit on the side (grapes, more bluebs, banana, and apple).
And a piece of my new Newman's Own Organics chocolate. Espresso dark chocolate. YUM!
And for dinner I braved the grill. I have never in my life grilled anything. I do know how to turn it on but that's about it.
It was a gorgeous day that made me want burger on the grill. So that's what I did! Just because the husbands gone doesn't mean I have to stop grillin'!
I survived and so did the squirrel, my dogs, my house, and the grill! I did one for me and one for the squirrel. Mine just had cheddar, ketchup, and pickles on a sandwich thin. I'm a simple burger eater. I also made some baked sweet potato chips, brocolli, and cauliflower.
For dessert I made Mama Pea's vegan chocolate chip cookies. They were really good. They weren't like regular chocolate chip cookies but good. They were satisfying for dessert.
Well y'all I've got NOTHING to do tomorrow. I love that feeling. Hopefully we'll be in a good mood for vegging!
Remember to enter my NOO giveaway!
And I'm leaving you with a song the squirrel and I are really jammin' to! I love this song and she likes to dance to it!

i have a newman's own orange chocolate bar waiting for me to enjoy it. sorry about the food hangover, i know that feeling all too well and it actually physically hurts! craziness. good thing our bodies are resilient and you'll be fine tomorrow
Yeah, I prefer Vanilla Soymilk to cowsmilk too - tastes better) Oh and that sandwich is so colorful and lush looking - YUM!
Sorry you are hurting- I definitely feel crappy after a day of bad food, makes you not want it for awhile huh?
All the fresh fruit is making me feel like it's summer!
I agree Stef... My body did actually physically hurt. Isn't it amazing what it gets used to! I'm pretty much back to normal now thank goodness :)
great food, all around!!!!
yum, cereal. i am a big fan of al kinds of cereal. but bc of the cold, ive been really on the oatmeal bandwagon! lol
its too bad that ur hurting. ur tummy will be back to normal sooN :)
When you u do what your body desires..you feel great. When you do what it opposes..you feel less than optimal.
seeing that burger makes me want one ASAP! that looks aweeesome girl!
sorry you are hurting, boo :(
love squirrels cereal!!
Don't beat yourself up about indulging...we all do it! It's great you got back on track today. I love GoLean Crunch too! It's my dad's favorite. And the espresso dark chocolate sounds out of this world :) Have a great week!
I want nothing to do tomorrow!
I hate food hangovers!
The first time I tried Kashi GoLean Crunch I told my husband they reminded me of smacks!!!!
What a great picture of your daughter slurping her milk!! Good for her, not leaving it behind like so many little kids do. I used to LOVE Cinnamon Toast Crunch, but I was never a Honey Smacks fan. I do know what you mean though, about that Kashi cereal being similar to Honey Smacks, it is! I used to do cold cereal with frozen blueberries every morning, now I'm hooked on my oat bran with pumpkin and PB, it's so good, but I do cold cereal sometimes.
This weekend I probably drank a little too much at dinner both nights, and I'm feeling kind of miserable from it. Like you, I crave health foods after a day of eating crap or drinking too much!! Today has been filled with wholesome goodness!
Kristen! Thanks so much for mentioning me! Really, super cool. I just showed the Shepherd and he thought it was pretty neat too! It's a fun life, and a lot of work, we're pretty happy with it all.
Good job getting back on track. When I eat junk food I tend to crave more junk food, even though I feel crappy after. The veg sandwich looks so good, reminds me that I should make more of those rather than eating salads with a side bagel. Have a great evening!
Just looking at your meals -- except maybe the Honey Smacks -- I want to eat better. You've got me craving pancakes. I just have to find the mix you recommend.
Oh my delicious. Mmmmm. You made me hungry for good food.
I LOVE food bloggers! All your pictures look scrumptious!
Kashi Go Lean is like crack! That's how Honey Smacks were back in the day.
Yum, yum, yum! Everything looks so good! I love the picture of Squirrel with her cereal bowl. NOO Espresso is my favorite chocolate!! That cookie looks amazing. I have a few calories left, and I think I'm going to have something sweet!
Your meals all look so delicious! I used to be soooooooo addicted to Kashi Go Lean Crunch, so much that I totally burnt myself out. I used to seriously eat 2-3 times a day!!
I love GoLean Crunch except it's REALLY crunchy...like sometimes it hurts my teeth lol
Everything looks really tasty :D
That sandwich looks heavenly! The bread looks like it really makes it :P
II prefer almondmilk or soy milk over regular milk, too - no health reasons. I just really dislike the taste of cow's milk!
That picture of the squirrel with her cereal is just too precious, btw :)
Hope you feel better soon. Drink some water. That usually helps my tummy woes.
I really need to try Great Harvest Bread. There is one like 2 miles down the road and I've never been. Do they have sandwiches or just bread?
Isn't it amazing how your body just doesn't handle that 'junk' anymore? I had that experience last weekend...
btw - I just wanted to mention that your pics are gorge and I am in complete envy!!!
Old School quote? That movie was FUNNY.
Hate food hangovers...yes--I always want to eat veggies the next day too!
Some sort of redemption? :)
Oh I loooove Kashi Go Lean Crunch!! Especially with blueberries. I used to eat it everyday.
And what a great day of food! Veggie sandwich, burger, chocolate chip cookies? Perfection
I havent tried Mama Pea's cookies b/c they have gluten in them but otherwise i would. I make my own choc chip cookie dough that's vegan and GF and I am hella happy :) with that though!
The blueberries look PERFECT.
The Newman's Own in Espresso. OMG I have never noticed that b4. It's now on my groc list :)
Good for you for getting back on track with so many yummy and healthy foods! I so understand that food coma. It doesn't feel good... but it does lead to a craving for veggies the next day!
I used to LOVE cinnamon toast crunch-that stuff is the best! Your veggie sammy looks fantastic! I need to start making them-I always get the veggie hoagies at Wawa, but it would be much more cost effective to make my own.
All your food today looks great! Especially that sandwich!
I made Mamas cookies Saturday myself....
I'd glad I'm not the only one who loves a great burger on the grill!
Can't wait to see who wins your NO giveaway!
I hear you! I did a lot of birthday celebrating this weekend and all I want to do today is eat well and get back on track!! PS, once again, your little girl is TOO CUTE!! :)
I'm the same way as you: I can't handle the junk food anymore! Last time I was up all night feeling like I might barf! I have been inspired by your sandwich and will try to have a similar one for lunch because it looks delicious :)
Oh yum... all that food looks so dang good.
I love cinnamon cereal.... I could eat everything on the page right now :)
Good job of getting back on track-ola!!!
Your food pictures are beautiful! Your blog always makes me instantly hungry! haha!
LOVE the idea of draining the yogurt with a coffee filter! thanks for that comment :)
I never thought about Kashi Go Lean tasting like Honey Smacks before, but it totally does! That is my husbands all time favorite cereal. Go Lean that is...not Honey Smacks :)
This post is making me crave cereal. I'm not even a big cereal fan but I could totally go for a bowl right now!
That song is so much fun. I always put it on when I'm running. I love how it says "the best look I had was you". I hope the food hangover is cured. Your sandwich looked amazing.
I love adding soy milk too! Have you had the Berry GoLean...not a fan but I do love the original an the almond flax is fantastic! The bits at the end of the bag are perfect yogurt toppers for a snack!
ok I am confessing this to YOU and only YOU- (and anyone else who reads this comment, hehe). I ate onion rings on friday, and french fries both saturday and sunday. I felt SO sick after all 3 experiences. What grossed me out the most is how I felt afterwards...how can food make you feel that way?!? And why would I do this to myself THREE times in a row?!?!
Thanks for the comment, and yes, you did tell me so! haha
I am happy to hear I'm not the only one that feels so SICK after eating something bad. I know that's not a happy thing for anyone, but I try and take it as a positive and think to myself...look how great you normally treat your body, you never have to feel this way!
My stomach cannot handle things like that any more at all. I go into complete food coma and am miserable all day, and the next day. But I will probably never learn. Dang that burger looks so good I haven't had one in forever!
Doesn't it feel phenomenal to be back on track after a day of not eating well?! I love Kashi Go Lean Crunch! Definitely one of my favorite cereals. :)
I cannot do the junk food thing. Yes I do for sure get a food hangover if i over indulge. Glad to see you guys had so much fun with the cereals! Congrats on grilling! Once you get into the raw flame you get so addicted. I too was so scared of our grill until about a year ago, now I love it!
