Bubba Gump

Evening! Hope you had a slam-dunk kind of day.  Mine was long and full, and I am more than ready to curl up and relax for the night!

This morning I took a break from oatmeal and made Sarah’s pumpkin cakes.  Instead of adding sweetener and spices, I used a scoop of pumpkin butter!

Pumpkin Cake

I topped the “cake” with a generous portion of plain Chobani and a scoop each of lemon curd and flaxy peanut butter.  Delicious combination! Just like Lemon Meringue Pumpkin Pie.

The subways were running smoothly and I got off the train with enough time to stop by my mom’s hair salon to say hello.  It was a nice way to start the day!

I worked all through the morning, breaking only to unwrap my Raisin Spice Heart Thrive cake.

I decided to take my lunch at my desk and catch up on some emails.  While it’s cold outside, I have a feeling I’ll do this a lot!

Lunch at the Desk

I had leftover tofu nabe and rice and a cup of Stonyfield Chocolate Underground yogurt.  Saved the apple for my afternoon snack ;-)  Last night, I put a handful of frozen shrimp into a Ziplock bag and refrigerated it.  By the time lunchtime rolled around, it was ready to eat!

Shrimp

It made a great addition to my soup!

Shrimp Soup

Remember my new trick of drinking coffee in the early afternoon?  Well, today we were out of cups!  I’d brought my coffee to work this morning as well, but couldn’t get the top of the thermos off.  So, this girl was running on ZERO caffeine!  Not ideal.

I had to stop by HR today, and while there took a Mary-Jane to spike my energy.  (That egg-shaped thing is my new Eos chapstick… isn’t it cute? It moisturizes pretty well, too!)

Mary Jane

There was a minor crisis as I was getting ready to leave the office, but we solved it and left by 5:30.  It was a rare night when Ari was free for dinner, so we went out for Thai.  We shared an order shrimp spring rolls as an appetizer… I don’t usually like fried spring rolls, but these were actually pretty good.

Shrimp Spring Rolls

For my entrée, I ordered the “Healthy Ginger”: vegetables and shrimp sautéed in a fresh ginger sauce.  I half with brown rice, and packed up the rest to take home.  This was my third time having shrimp in one day!  Wonder if I could get a job at Bubba Gump?

Ari was happy with his dinner, too… he usually gets Pad See Ew.

Yum :-)

I had a dessert plate (dried prunes, figs, almond butter and chocolate) while Ari did a little more work.  I missed these. They always hit the spot!

Dessert Plate

Off to bed!  There is a teensy chance I’ll get up and run in the morning, but it’s pretty unlikely.  I can’t wait until I’m a little more settled into work and can figure out how I’m going to manage my exercise routine… I need those endorphins!  Any tips?

Have a great night :-)

  • Aw, I love the seafood, especially shrimp. Oh, exciting to that your friend is a rockette. I’ve always wanted to see them Live. Honestly, i think really think I’m the only person excited besides my boss who picked this. I can’t wait tomorrow.

    what does your friend look like… though they will all be dressed the same.

  • Mmmmmmm! The spring rolls and the dessert plate are speaking to me.

    I looooove the new look of your page :D

  • Love the site redesign! So pretty :)
    And I can’t get over your breakfast! OMG it looks so delicious!!

    Sorry to hear you had to go without caffeine–have you tried those Starbucks Viva packs? I think I’m going to keep a few at work for those “in emergency” situations LOL

  • i love the new layout + colors! cute!

    the mix of yogurt + lemon curd sounds SO good. I’m going to need to get some.

  • K

    Thai food is way too delicious! Glad you guys were able to have dinner together!!

    Love the Bubba Gump – now I want to watch Forrest Gump!

  • Every time I see you use lemon curd I remember how much I used to love lemon meringue pie and get a huge craving for it, but I don’t eat eggs anymore so eating a big slice of it is out of the question. I guess I’m just going to have to find myself a big jar of lemon curd and come up with my own substitution. Thanks for the inspiration!

  • I read your post last night and thought “Wow, those pumpkin cakes look divine! I think I will make some tomorrow for bfast!” But I forgot :( darn haha. Maybe they will somehow become dessert

  • Yummy, Katie!!!
    These look so good. That pumpkin butter is amazing, isn’t it? I just love pumpkin things. Have you ever made the pumpkin soup recipe that is on the side of the pumpkin butter jar? It looks really sweet to me, but I’ve always wanted to try it…
    Hope you’re having a great week!
    XO,
    Erin

  • your breakfast looks so wonderful

    all of your eats do :)

    xo Take Care
