Yesterday wasn’t the best day, and I spent it unfocused and BLAH… I’m only realizing now that it resulted in random eats.
I began with a daily smoothie – chocolate protein, hazelnut milk, peanut butter flour (yep, I’m hoarding it), banana, maca and ice cubes. YUM. Stuck with me all morning, and I had an invigorating run! Knowing my reasoning, I will drink smoothies exactly like this one every day forever! 
Lunch was a protein rich salad with quinoa.
I’m making a new raw bar, and I snacked on plenty during creation:
I also ate another banana in the afternoon. It was huge, and I took a reference photo:
Did you detect the skeptical look?
Along with the giganti – nana, I topped a muffin with almond butter (more recipe development), and an Adora calcium disk.
Jason called when I was trying to figure out what to make for dinner… he knew I was down, and offered to bring home whatever I wanted. The crust was gluten free.
What are you eating today? Have a great one!

AHH i love your muffin!! and those bars!! i just posted my WIAW!
your WIAW looked GOOOOOD !
Your blog always gives me the munchies!!! I love food so much it hurts
I love food so much, I store snacks in my cleavage. What? Oh, that’s right…what cleavage? LOL! I adore your blog. I just caught up on all your tasty creations. Me likey!!
oh, and I just adore YOU !! seriously, I needed that laugh today <3 you're awesome. someday I’ll pull my RV up next to your RV, and we will eat!!
Oh, and why were you down? A mighty dose of pizza is this Italian witch doctor’s cure for EVERYTHING! Even leprosy. Not that I think you are a leper. Sheesh!
oh, just life and stuff, you know! no leprosy, and now I can smile at the newfound perspective! AND leftover pizza! <3
I’m going to bust your lunch: it was LETTUCE. And QUINOA. NAKED.
Right about now, I want to come over and make you tomorrow’s lunch, lest that crime of component-eating happen again…
I actually ate like that a lot when I was finishing school—I had the components of things that I meant to cook into wonderful meals, but without the time, I’d just eat the ingredients. It was a step up from when I made meals out of wasa crackers and condiments, mind you… 
see !?!? I said it was random. I think I ate this without really thinking about it, you know? I was going to add ketchup because I love it, since my standard egg topping sounded like too much work yesterday. OOOH ! a few years ago I totally went through a wasa + tofu pate phase – pretty much all I ate, with a few veggies mixed in.
Gorgeous photos! Your puppy is too cute.
thanks, Megan! and Basil says Thank You too
I say your eats look yummy! I have days like that where my eats are totally random
But I kinda enjoy those days sometimes haha I have not had breakfast yet still enjoying my warm lemon water so at the moment that is what I am enjoying 
mmm, I need to start my morning lemon water again! I recently switched to a huge jar of ice cold water in the mornings, the ONE tip I heard and used from The Four Hour Body!
Your eats look great, especially that pizza!
the pizza was a nice change of pace, definitely!
I love the quinoa salad. I picked up some red quinoa the other day and am looking forward to trying it. Is the taste different from regular quinoa? I am considering mixing the two.
I don’t really taste a difference in the red or black from the regular… it’s just pretty
I think the red doesn’t *taste* different, but it’s got a slightly tougher texture. “Nutty”, some would say…
YES!! you’re right, a bit more BITE, right?
I hope today is a better one for you. Love that banana/Basil picture. He must be ALL personality! And I still can’t find the red quinoa here. Craziness!
thank you, Heather! it already is a better day
Basil is Total Personality!
Basil-sized banana!!! I hope he got a bite
of COURSE he did… that’s really what The Look was for, making sure I shared
I think I’ve never seen such a *tiny* dog!
hee!
HUGE banana!
I love the skeptical look.
I didn’t know before but now I know I must have a pizza for dinner. With your muffin. Do you think you can courier it to me asap?
ah, I absolutely would if I could!
glad I could help you realize your pizza needs...
Yum! I love the muffin/almond butter combo and definitely the pizza… oh, gluten free crust—my fave
it was a really good crust, like light cornmeal…
Love the banana reference shot picture…cute doggie!!!
Basil says Thank You
That pizza looks SO good. I love the look Basil is giving you… I get that look a lot at our house too.
the pizza WAS so good… a nice indulgence we have not had in a while.
Basil throws some funny looks…
Well I hope whatever had you down yesterday is better and that you’ve got some smiles today! Glad you liked the link today! I can’t stop playing with it!
thank you, Stephanie! things may not necessarily be BETTER, but I have a fresh perspective and today IS happier!
I cannot stop playing with that amazingness either!! thanks for sharing
Hope you were able to turn your frown upside down today! My work has been so crazy and stressful, its a miracle I haven’t eaten several pizzas by myself! Hugs!
thanks, Biz! it’s a better day today, definitely. big hugs back to you!!
Haha, our dog does that same look. I think he is saying, “What you are doing is clearly ridiculous. I am judging you.”
haaa haaa – EXACTLY ! he gets that look and I bust out Vince Vaughn’s Old School line — ‘See that? Always smiling? Hi, honey. Judging, watching, “Look at the baby.” ‘
Thanks for leaving a comment on my blog. You have a very unique blog here! I sent your link to a friend with a doxie. : )
I love your blog! and thanks for sharing mine – us doxie people are a … different breed
Your raw bar creation looks great! I think making bars at home is the greatest thing that I’ve done in my kitchen the past few months. I love to experiment with different ingredients!
ooooh do you have a recipe for the raw bar? it looks good!
I will be posting it soon!
Basil looks scared. lol
Your almond butter looks c r e a m y! Love it!
awww… not scared. hopeful that he’ll get a bite of banana…
it was Barney Butter – my favorite…
Reference shot…love it! Basil fits so perfectly in the arch of that nanner!
Oh, I hate blah days…at least you had actual defined meals. I usually end up grazing on bits of this and that all day long…then at the end of the day, I feel worse! Bleh!
isn’t Basil the cutest? for helping with my photos he was paid with banana bites
