It was soo yummy, I only left a few bites on my plate. <img src='\/images\/biggrin.gif' alt=':D' \/>  It had:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Romaine<\/li>\n<li>Spinach<\/li>\n<li>Cabbage<\/li>\n<li>Cucumbers<\/li>\n<li>Tomatoes<\/li>\n<li>Red onion<\/li>\n<li>Banana Peppers<\/li>\n<li>Pumpkin Seeds<\/li>\n<li>Sunflower Seeds<\/li>\n<li>2 TBSP of some small pasta<\/li>\n<li>And some roasted chickpeas<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Mmmmm!  I topped it with a wee bit of Ranch dressing.  I made the chickpeas by draining and rinsing a can of them and put them in a baggie.  Then I added some olive oil, garlic powder, S&amp;P, and chili powder and shook it up.  Tossed them on a cookie sheet and roasted them at 350 for about 20minutes.  Yummy!  I prefer this method as opposed to heating them via a skillet as the seasonings seemed to stick better roasted.  I would have roasted them longer to get crispier but we were both hungry and Scott had a conference call so I needed to bust out lunch.  If you like chickpeas give this a try!<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately as with most salads, if I don&#8217;t get protein with it, the salad doesn&#8217;t hold me over very long.  I needed some sort of snacky and opted for an apple.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_665\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/10\/ohc-09-30-08_afternoon_snack.jpg\" data-rel=\"attachment-image-1\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-665\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-665\" title=\"ohc-09-30-08_afternoon_snack\" src=\"http:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/10\/ohc-09-30-08_afternoon_snack-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Fall\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/10\/ohc-09-30-08_afternoon_snack-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/10\/ohc-09-30-08_afternoon_snack.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-665\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fall<\/p><\/div>\n<p>I think this was a gala apple but am not positive.

I don&#8217;t know what happened but somehow I bruised up my left shin by my ankle.  It&#8217;s got to be from kicking but I can&#8217;t think of when I would have done that.  We worked on throwing elbows at a different angle and it took me a while to get the hang of it.  It shouldn&#8217;t have but for some reason my brain just wasn&#8217;t making that connection. :p<\/p>\n<p>I was looking forward to dinner all. day. long.

Dinner was fantastic and I ate all of my burger first and fries second as we watched last week&#8217;s epi of Fringe.  I would have eaten all my fries but saved a few for Rocks.<\/p>\n<p>After dinner and Fringe I headed up to bed.  I laid there for about 10 minutes talking to Scott and then decided I needed some sleep.  I was wiped out!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi guys!
