Feeling the Octoberfest

Today I took my coffee to go, with a slice of zucchini bread on the side.

I did my usual grocery shopping, and guess what? I stayed under budget this week! I was talking with my mother about this. I've noticed that even if I don't need groceries, I still spend the same amount of money every week, on just random stuff or on "stocking up". I've stocked up so much that we don't have room for much more.
We have room for dairy, bread, and produce though!
Veggies:
White and yellow corn
Grape tomatoesCarrotsAn onionand Celery, Broccoli, and 2 artichokesFruit:
Bananas CantaloupeGrapefruit pearsand freshly picked, non-waxed, local Gala applesPrettyThere were also 3 limes.
Other:
Swiss cheeselentils
And from Albertson's I only bought 4 things, one of which was alcohol. I'm excited to try both of these:I also bought my boyfriend a surprise. He loves Boddington.
My eyes are feeling less dry today. I drank a ton of water yesterday and used drops. This has happened to me before, but I don't know what it means. I let myself wear mascara today :).

Sunrise and Pita

My view this morning driving to work was heavenly. Really my camera and photography skills can't do it justice.
I need to figure out a way to take pictures of my lunches and snacks. My work is very private so I feel wrong taking pictures of anything at my desk. I did sneak and take a picture of my snack cabinet, for sort of a time capsule of what I've been eating lately. Excuse the overly saturated light effect. I work in almost complete darkness.

Left to right: Nature's Path Pumpkin seed granola, Smokehouse almonds, pitted dates in a ziploc bag, Community Coffee medium roast (local brand), granny smith apple, two boxes of mint tea, creamer and sugar, small box of clif bars. In the back: croutons and dried apricots.





Dinner was a pita stuffed with black beans, swiss, and a thin slice of ham. Which I then crammed with spinach. Oh yeah!
I'm ready for bed!

Omelet For Two

Quick post:
Dinner was a simple affair: an omelet, consisting of leftover chopped onion and bell pepper, black beans, and Jarlsberg swiss. Steamed asparagus served on the side.
Onions and bell peppers with half a tablespoon of butter and salt and pepper

asparagus in steamer basket, perfect as is

Steamer basket doing its thing. And voila!

Served with a dab of salsa, it was fantastic! I also like to dip my asparagus in salsa, so it works out if the plate gets all messy.
*This was a meal for two people.
