Let's get weird, with muffins.

Woke up to a text from my mom, "Hope your good. Humpy for you **three camel emojis**" It's only Tuesday in America, but it's good to see my mom is keeping the hump-day text tradition alive even with the time difference. She recently got an iphone so she's having fun exploring all the fun emojis, and apps...my grandma even has an iphone..not to mention a facebook, her own website, AND a promotional youtube for her art. Had to throw that out there, I'm thankful my family is able to keep in touch with me...all ways possible.

But let's get back to my time zone shall we, it's Wednesday here and yep, time for another WIAW. I love seeing what others have for lunch, it's interesting who doesn't? Not sure what WIAW is all about? I remember when I first discovered the fitness, food blogging world everyone was talking about WIAW and I was so confused....well be confused no more people, check out my intro post to get in on the WIAW action here. And be sure to check out Jenn's blog over at Peas and Crayons to check out the link up. There is soooo much variety in the linkup parties.

M1: Toast w/almond butter & honey, celery and yes, more almond butter, and peanut butter. 2 hard-boiled eggs not pictured aaand a confession:: I am a nut-butter addict.

Could be worse...

That should be an MTV True Life edition, 'I'm a nut-butteroholic?' 

Remember that show? 

M2: 12 raw almonds (no way did I count them out, its a guess!) and a banana

M3: Salad, wasn't too stoked on it, but I added some kale in it this time and it really added some good new flavor, put some Italian rice bran oil and those two really spiced it up nicely! Also had some leftover black beans, and corn from my breakfast burrito over the weekend::

Weekend burrito heaven

M4: protein powder w/water

M5: This is last night's dinner:: eggs are so my "go-to" quick meal. I had 2 slices of dark rye toast with 3 hard-boiled eggs, some tomatoes and avocado left over from last night's dinner. We hosted a BBQ tonight so I decided to feature last nights din....so would that technically be today for you?

Ahhh time zones!!

weird. 

Get resourceful when it comes to food making! DO what works for you....get creative:: use left-overs, combine things...go nuts!

I Had some left overs, (see resourceful) that I wanted to use up but didn't really want to eat them separately and I needed something for my pre-workout snack sooooo I went for it, put on my white lab coat and went to town. (got creative)
