This lunch was so fresh, ripe, and healthy! I loved it. Meals like this one make me love my lifestyle. To start off, I had a spinach salad with carrots, celery, kidney beans, and tomatoes.
The kidney beans were leftover from a ED&BV recipe from a few weeks ago. I have to be honest - I was a little nervous about these - I’ve never had them raw in a salad before. But these were awesome, I really enjoyed them. The dressing was made from a little bit of greek yogurt and some honey tarragon mustard. I was never a big fan of dressings before, but the combo of yogurt and mustards is such a simple, easy way to add flavor to a salad without buying another product. My fridge is jam packed as it is - I need to use what I have! Glamour shot:
On the side I had two mini pita’s with a wedge of Laughing Cow Light Garlic and Herb Cheese. I always need some carbs to feel full, and I initially thought this combo wasn’t that inspired or special - but it was really tasty, so go figure.
Plus, as you can see, I had 4 HUGE strawberries. Oh my goodness these were amazing. I was the one kid who didn’t like strawberries growing up, but I have developed such a huge taste for them now! I’m so happy to have a huge container of these babies at home.

I have to run an errand for this office this afternoon, so I get to be outside on this beautiful day! I would LOVE to get an iced coffee, but after yesterday, it’s probably not a great idea. What do you guys think?
Fresh, ripe, and healthy - sounds like my kind of meal, for sure!
If you feel like an iced coffee, then get an iced coffee - don’t deny yourself!
True, denial isn’t in my repertoire. I just don’t want an angry stomach like yesterday!
