Chocolate Covered Lily Beans

I am going away for the weekend so my next few meals will be all about cleaning out the fridge of fresh items that cannot be frozen…I guess I went a little overboard at the grocery store this weekend (nothing new there!).  I could not wait for lunch because I knew I had a half of a almond butter pumpkin butter sami!  I woofed that down like there was no tomorrow.  I switched that out with my usual yogurt and I must say I missed my little yogi.  I also had a salad with the last of the lettuce from the farmers market, wheat berries, white beans, black beans, tomaotoes, avocado goat cheese and homemade balsamic dressing PLUS half of my fruit salad.

I also made Nick lunch with a salad, and I was later informed that he like salads more then sandwiches!!?!!? who would have guesses that!  Given that I only have about 4 meals a week to get good stuff in him I will be loading him up with green from now on!

From work it was directly to the gymbo.  As usual I did a quick 15min warm up arms and bosu abs, followed by 45min of spin.  In spin I wondered, why don’t they make those cropped exercise pants in other colors then black?  I am a lacrosse shorts type of girl given that this is what I have always exercised in and I don’t feel like shelling out $40 for spandex pant, but it did make me wonder…hmmmmm.  The highlight of spin had to be my teacher singing along to ALL of the songs…she says she likes karaoke so I guess this is where she practices?

After the gym I was staving.  Quick shower and down to find things that needed to be cleaned out of the fridge before the weekend.  I found about 1/2 cup black beans, 1/2 cup white beans 1/2 cup wheat berries, 1/2 an avocado (lots of halves!) mango chicken sausage and zucchini.  This was going to take some creativity.  I cut up the zuc into strips.  The mashed the beans, wheat berries and avocado together with some hot sauce.  Grilled the sausage and I REALLY wanted to try the honey, ginger almond goat cheese from the farmers market so I made up a few tjsflax crackers with that.  Tres Bien!

What a beautiful site!  Tasted amazing too, especially because I heated the bean mix.  Off to make some fruit salad for the rest of the week and do some much needed reading!  Night y’all :0
