Mini Haul and Some Chatter

I have today and tomorrow off so I went to Trader Joe's yesterday before work. I'd rather be annoyed on a day that I work than stain a day off. I find it very difficult to go grocery shopping now that I work at a grocery store. My tolerance is below zero. It would be easier if I could go early in the morning which is what I used to do, but working until midnight kind of ruins that for me. I had a little bit of a stomach ache, was tired and Trader Joe's was pretty busy for a Tuesday afternoon so I really didn't get much because I spaced on what I needed and I just wanted to get out.

I also had a mishap as I was leaving Trader Joe's. I had stopped in Natural Grocers for a big booch before Trader Joe's, and when I was leaving Trader Joe's, the bag that contained my booch slipped off my shoulder and fell straight down and the bottle shattered. A seven dollar klutz move. My budget won't allow me to buy another so there you go. This is the second time that has happened to me actually. Super frustrating. The rest of my day pretty much was one big dropped booch to be honest.

This was my dinner. My day was so bad I didn't even have the energy to heat something up! They were going to toss this hummus at work because it expired today so I gladly took it off their hands. I have stopped buying packaged hummus in my attempt to live a less waste lifestyle, but this was going to get tossed which is extremely wasteful. And at least I reuse the container. Anyway, these gluten free crackers are AMAZING! They are very light and crispy like a saltine. Gluten free crackers are usually much harder and dense so these were a very pleasant surprise! This company also makes my favorite gluten free bread. Now I need to make some tomato or chickpea noodle soup to go with these crackers!

I saw Peeps flavored Oreos at work the other day and was wondering if I should try them. People on Instagram said yes, one even said it would be rude not to! So last night my coworker bought me a package! So sweet! As you can see they have a peep on them! They don't have red dye #40, but they do have blue and I think yellow dye and the typical scary ingredient list! I would say they taste mostly like a regular oreo with a faint hint of peep.

Although yesterday was kind of an unhealthy day food wise and emotionally, this smoothie got some nutrients in. It had cherries, strawberries, banana, half an avocado, peanut butter, and maca powder. I have definitely noticed an increase in my energy since I've started adding maca powder to my smoothies. Trader Joe's has the best price I've seen at $4.99 a bag. And a bag lasts well over a month, maybe even two months.

Hello, Kanye here. Mom had to go clean up the half pound of split peas that I knocked on the floor while running through the pantry shelves like a complete maniac. I'm going to just stay over here, maybe hide under the packing paper for awhile!
