I decided to get my groceries at Trader Joe's this week. I needed maca powder and they have the best price I've ever seen. I also kind of started craving tofu again and I've never had an issue with their tofu. I was only going to buy the high protein because it's vacuum sealed, but I made myself buy one water packed container just to face my fears!

I know I always get the same things pretty much everywhere I go. But these are two new two me items I tried and they are definitely the standouts. The popcorn is almost gone because I couldn't stop snacking on it yesterday! It has an amazing pickle flavor, and isn't super oily or messy. Seriously if you like pickles you need this popcorn in your life! I also decided to try the South African smoke seasoning blend. I used it last night on some potatoes and tofu and it was AHMAZING! The ingredients are paprika flakes, sea salt, garlic and basil. So it isn't spicy but it is very smoky. I took a bath while the potatoes and tofu were baking, and when I came out of the bathroom my apartment smelled so incredible!! I feel like this would be great on grilled veggies and corn on the cob for all you brave grill masters out there!

I also ran into Natural Grocers for some Epsom salts and booch. They have Kevita booch and probiotic drinks on sale for $1.99 so stock up if you live near one! 

This was my delicious and healthy dinner last night. Tofu and potatoes roasted with a little coconut oil and the smoke seasoning, quinoa and butter lettuce all in a bowl drizzled with a lemon sriracha tahini sauce. Yesterday was the anniversary of losing everything in Seattle so it was obviously not an easy day. I requested yesterday and today off because pain and customer service don't mix. The jerks can smell frazzled nerves and will be the worst. Honestly I also thought I was maybe going to drink and I wanted to have today off to nurse the hangover. I'm very proud of myself for getting groceries, and taking a soothing bath and having this healthy dinner instead. I also let myself feel and cry. I'm glad I just woke up sad, not sad and hungover.

My little bird/squirrel watchers! All the girls love to watch, but Kiki and Joan will spend hours running from my bedroom window to the spare room window and so on an so forth. It's pretty hilarious. Not to mention great cardio for them!
