Amazing Grass and Cucumber Toast

So yesterday after I posted I got hungry! I guess the 2 helpings of mac-n-cheese didn't keep this baby full.

I had a snack of Triscuits and hummus.

Honestly, the only reason I'm posting my snack is because of the Triscuits. Yes, I agree with many people on the fact that "just because it's organic does not mean it's healthy".

I also feel that just because it comes in a box and is a popular item doesn't mean it's unhealthy! Reduced fat Triscuits are actually good for you. Within reason. I've found that they are the best tasting healthy cracker. Next time you are at the store check out the ingredient list and nutrition label!

The hubs flew late last night so I had dinner at my parents. We just did scrambled eggs and toast with Crofter's fruit spread.


And only because my mom loves me... she brought me home this...


Blueberry cake with cream cheese icing. We have a local Greek restaurant here that makes the best darned cakes ever! This is their summer cake. Our favorite is the almond cake but this was delicious too! Real, fresh blueberries with the perfect icing.

Yesterday I got a package in the mail from Teri over at Amazing Grass. Last year I used Amazing Grass all the time. For some reason I stopped. When Teri emailed me it reminded me how much I used to love the stuff.

She sent me a bunch of samples... Including some kiddo superfood for the squirrel.


The only kind of Amazing Grass I've had is the Chocolate Superfood. So for breakfast this morning I tried the Amazing Meal Chocolate Infusion.


I made what I haven't made in about 6 months. A lean ogre. Or probably a green monster to you! I combined 1 cup almond milk, spinach, kale, 1 cup of frozen banana, 1 T almond butter, and my amazing meal into the blender.


Oh how I've missed you OGRE!

It was so perfect. I LOVE the amazing meal. And I LOVE the energy I've had all day. Not to sound corny but this stuff makes me feel amazing. Usually around 3:00 in the afternoon I start feeling sluggish and tired no matter what I eat. When I was using Amazing Grass I'd just mix it with a little bit of milk in the afternoon and it boosted me up instantly.

After breakfast the squirrel and I went to the library and hit the gym. I did the bike for 30 minutes while she played.

We came home just in time for lunch. I got a neat book at the library about roasting veggies. My mom gave me some fresh green beans yesterday so I decided to give one of the recipes a try.

I just tossed the green beans with olive oil and sea salt. Then put them in the oven on the middle rack at 500º for 15 minutes. Don't be scared of the high temp. It works! Mine got a little bit too crispy so next time I'll do them for 10 minutes. They were really good though!


I also had a some cucumber toast. Sound odd? Yeah probably but it was so good in this summer heat!


All I did was toast some crusty bread (whole wheat sunflower seed). Then I mashed some feta cheese on top and added some sliced cold cucumber. Then I sprinkled it with coarse sea salt and a little bit of olive oil.

You should try it... I promise it's good!

Hope y'all have a wonderful weekend! The hubs and I have a date night planned tomorrow so we are SUPER excited!
