It was a good day! I met up with a friend for dinner tonight, too…good food + great company = an awesome night…I’m so thankful Brianna listens to me vent and gives me good advice. That’s what friends are for, right? :)
meal #1
7:00a.m.
overnight oats!
last night I mixed together: 1/3 cup oats, 1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder, chia seeds, hemp seeds, cinnamon, and unsweetened vanilla almond milk
this morning I added: (more) unsweetened vanilla almond milk and cinnamon, pomegranate arils, a banana, raw sliced almonds, pecans, and a big scoop of peanut butter
This one the best bowl of oats I’ve had in a long time.
meal #2
11:45a.m.
a mixed bowl of things in the fridge that turned out to be super good:
wild rice, sweet potato fries, lentils, black beans, EVOO, cumin, and black pepper
with an apple on the side
meal #3
3:30p.m.
raspberry coconut milk yogurt and some cocoa goodness Love Grown Foods granola…this combo was good.
I was having the hardest time warming up today too so when I got home I enjoyed a mug of hot lemon water.
meal #4
6:30p.m.
*sorry the pictures from the restaurant are terrible, but that was just the lighting in there and I wasn’t about to embarrass my friend (more) by turning on my camera flash ;)
By the time we met up at the restaurant my stomach was seriously growling. So before deciding on what my meal would be, I helped myself to one of the dinner rolls the waiter brought out. I’m not usually a fan of those restaurant free rolls, but this one was really good.
For my meal I had the plate of Butternut Ravioli.
and then there was dessert.
Chocolate Enchantment.
It’s a shame you can’t really see it in the picture, but the name in itself sounds amazing, right? I didn’t care for the whipped topping, which I slid off first thing, but the chocolate….it was a brownie with coconut and pecans yet not overly sweet…amazing.

What’s your favorite dessert?*
*there’s no possible way I can choose just one.

I’m always there for you!! :D
and don’t worry… the pictures were not an embarrassment, it was more what happened after we were done eating that was ;) haha
:)
Did you call the number back?! It could be him! haha
My favorite dessert is ICE CREAM! I am in loveeeee. :) Is that coconut milk yogurt good? I’m slightly lactose intolerant, I still eat yogurt but if that’s a good alternative I’d love to try it.
Yeah it’s good! There’s a little added sugar in it, but nothing crazy, and each of the SO Delicious flavors contains the cultures/good bacteria that are good for the gut! (just like dairy yogurts)
Butternut Ravioli? Um, yes please!
it was delicious!
Yummy eats Danica! Ahhh, restaurants need better lighting don’t they!? :). My favorite dessert will always be anything that has chocolate and cheesecake ;).
Have a great day!
I’m always sold at “chocolate” :)
Chocolate Enchantment sounds FANTASTIC, I’m sure you loved it! I can’t even decide what my favorite dessert is, I love ANYTHING sweet. So, um, I think my favorite would be….ice cream, cupcakes, frosting, cookies, cake, cookie cake, brownies, bars…need I go on?
haha that sounds just like me when I try to choose a favorite dessert :)
Chocolate, coconut, and pecan? Yes, PLEASE! And for some reason I am drooling over that blob of peanut butter in the first picture. It’s just peanut butter, but now that is all I want. :)
I was craving peanut butter like CRAZY tonight…I’m about to publish today’s eats and I definitely fulfilled that craving with dessert :)
