I have been pretty worthless today. I slept really late, ate a lot of sweets and blew off working out. It was perfect…and needed! I had a really low-key weekend, highlights being subbing some yoga classes, cleaning and moving furniture and restocking on the food front. I showed you my farmers market finds yesterday. Today I stopped by the grocery and ended up with some impulse buys.
First up, grapefruit juice. I rarely keep juice in the house because it’s so high in sugar but I will occasionally buy orange or cranberry juice. Don’t ask me why grapefruit juice sounded so appealing but I brought it home and immediately poured a glass. So refreshing!
Next up, Ben & Jerry’s Greek Frozen Yogurt and Van’s Waffles. I just tried the frozen yogurt and it is so good. Tangy but really sweet. I got the banana peanut butter flavor (of course) and the peanut butter swirls are the best part! I can’t even tell you the last time I bought frozen waffles but I’m needing some different breakfast options and I’ve heard good things about the Van’s Waffles. I’m envisioning them with almond or peanut butter and bananas.
I’m such a creature of habit so I’m excited about today’s purchases. Do you impulse buy? Have you tried anything new and noteworthy lately?
While we are on the topic of impulses. I got a polish change yesterday and decided to finally embrace the one sparkly nail trend. Thanks Pinterest! I love it. 🙂
My one nutritious meal of the day was a salad for lunch. Spinach, broccoli slaw, farmers market tomatoes, cucumbers, avocado, carrots, nuts, feta and dried cranberries.
I baked these blueberry crumb bars yesterday and ate quite a few as I was photographing them. Recipe soon!
Sushi dinner.
Sullie wishes you a good week. May you play, love and be happy!
My most recent impulse buy was TJ’s frozen mango chunks. I love mango smoothies from Starbucks and Panera and decided to start making my own!
Love the nails!
i like that starbucks smoothie too!
Oh my gosh I need those blueberry bars STAT!! I’m definitely an impulse buyer but I try to keep it to a minimum 🙂
The sushi looks so good — its always plated so beautifully! The blueberry crumb bars look awesome — can’t wait for the recipe.
Do you remember the name of your polish? I’ve been looking for something about that shade. Thanks!
OPI French Quarter for Your Thoughts. I LOVE gray polish!
WANT that recipe! Actually, more like need 😉
Thos blueberry bars look AMAZING! I will be dreaming of them tonight as I sleep:)
My last impulse buy was a Kavu rope bag for my morning yoga classes. I’ve used it once.
I love Van’s Waffles, especially the GF blueberry ones and the french toast sticks are also really good.
i can’t wait to try them. didn’t see the french toast sticks. good to know!
First off, that workout from Saturday’s post looked pretty brutal, I may just have to try it! and second, I am very impressed that Sullie does not eat those toys, my golden (though still young) chews through EVERYTHING we buy so now I stick to rawhide… impulse buy today… pretty much everything I picked up at whole foods!
she’s so good with toys. she rarely destroys them. most of her toys she’s had for years and years (thus the number surrounding her…and that was a small few!). i LOVE whole foods!
OMG Sushi looks amazing! Was this out or did you make?! Your homemade dessert looks incredible as well. I cannot bake for the life of me and stay gluten free/dairy free due to intolerances…I have spent so much time on food gawker looking at recipes and I keep failing! Anyway, glad you got to laze, our adrenals need to restore when we have such “go go go” lifestyles. Getting back to your normal active week always feels as good as relaxing though too…hope you have a great monday!
the sushi was out – i’ve tried homemade a couple of times but it’s such a pain! i cannot gluten/dairy free bake but give me butter, milk and eggs and i’m good to go! 🙂
YUM! I lovee sushi!
Sullie is such a cutie. It’s good to have days like this…everything in moderation, even moderation. Love the nails, I love the glitter nail accent. I bought Martha Stewart’s glitter to mix and match it. Kind of silly, but true.
that’s a great idea. love it!
Do I do impulse buys? Almost always ! lol
Definitely a creature of habit when it comes to my shopping, but I’ll pick up something new now and then! Last week I bought pita bread for the first time in forever and it was amazing. I need to get it more often!
Love that salad, and those bars look so good!
i love pita bread! so good with hummus and for sandwiches.
Love the nails!!! I always tend to buy the same things when I grocery shop but just recently found Udi’s gluten free muffin tops and bought them! Not something I would normally get but I’m always excited when I find a new G free option to try!
yeah, i’ve been playing around with mixing in some gluten-free things and it’s fun to try new products. i’ve tried the udi’s bread but not the muffin tops. thanks for the suggestion!
Totally agree — that Ben & Jerry’s frozen greek yogurt is delicious!!! I’ve also had the blueberry and it is good, but banana and peanut butter is my fav.
i looked at the blueberry and strawberry flavors but pb wins every time! 🙂
It’s soo good I had to ban it from the house, just like the cookie butter. 🙂 lol. My sweet tooth is crazy.
love love love vans waffles! i always eat them with peanut butter and a banana on them!
i’m happy to hear good feedback on them. can’t wait to give them a try…definitely with pb &b!
Even your lazy days seem more chock full than my busy days, haha! Glad you had a great weekend!
haha – i didn’t leave my house from noon until 5:30. it was pretty lazy!
I recently started challenging myself to have a different breakfast each morning, Monday through Friday. Friday happens to be waffles for me…something to look forward to – the Van’s aren’t bad but I must tell you that the Trader Joe’s gluten-free waffles are fantastic!!!!
i love that challenge…and i love that friday is waffle day. thanks for the recommendation on the TJs waffles. i’ll check them out for sure!
You know, I have some waffles in the downstairs freezer that I need to get out so I can have something different. Even as a mid-day snack! I’m either eating Coach’s Oats in the morning, a yogurt concoction or eggs. And that Ben & Jerry’s sounds great! I have to check that out.
coach’s oats and yogurt concoctions are staples for me too! excited about my waffles! 🙂
I just tried that frozen yogurt lately and I love it! Have you tried Chobani’s vanilla chocolate chunk yogurt? Also a big fan of that 🙂
no! yummy! thanks for the recommendation!
My most recent impulse buy was ground bison meat from whole foods, its pretty $$ but I love a good bison burger!
Love your nails, so pretty!
I still haven’t found that frozen yogurt in stores, but the peanut butter flavour sounds totally awesome. I love your nails, I’m totally loving the sparkle trend now:) Sullie is so cute! Love.
And I can’t wait for your blueberry bar recipe, those look incredible!
Love the sparkly nail. I did a pale pink with one sparkly nail for Christmas and kept looking down at it and smiling, very proud of the lone sparkly nail. Love the look in gray! I randomly won a giveaway for those waffles/brand- haha! I haven’t used the vouchers yet but this reminds me! Were they any good?
Those bars look amazing! Can’t wait for the recipe.
I love your nails! And I need some of that B&J’s Greek Frozen yogurt. I haven’t had that in months. 🙂
