Red wine and some vegan chocolate pudding (Scott and I split the bowl)!\u00a0 YUMMY!\u00a0 I’m still fiddling around with the recipe so give me just a few more times. 
<\/p>\nHi guys!\u00a0 Sorry for disappearing yesterday but I didn’t get a chance to start on my post at all and then by the time we were done with dinner it was 8:30.\u00a0 I was very close to going to bed so I decided to wait until today to catch you up!<\/p>\n
Thursday night wine and dessert!<\/p>\n
Red wine and some vegan chocolate pudding (Scott and I split the bowl)!\u00a0 YUMMY!\u00a0 I’m still fiddling around with the recipe so give me just a few more times. <\/p>\n
Friday started off with some coffee and very lame oats.<\/p>\n

Okay, well I guess they weren’t that lame but no banana and our WF<\/abbr> grocery items are getting desperate.\u00a0 I made pumpkin oats with blueberries.\u00a0 Veggies and fruit in one breakfast, bam!\u00a0 It was a gross color because the blue from the blueberries turned the orange pumpkin into some sludge looking stuff.\u00a0 And the coffee was just so-so.<\/p>\n After breakfast it was time to run my little man to the doctor for his yearly check-up.\u00a0 He’s a senior now *sniffsniff* and that means he gets more testing done to him.\u00a0 He was a champ!\u00a0 And he came away with a clean bill of health.\u00a0 After the visit I was going to take him for a walk and all that but he said, “No way mom!”\u00a0 And went to bed to crash out for the rest of the day. :p\u00a0 He gets stressed really easily but doesn’t freak out, which is good.\u00a0 And then once it’s over, he’s zonked.<\/p>\n I cleaned the house and then made us some lunch.\u00a0 A little different.\u00a0 I was in the mood for a nice salad with a twist, so that’s what I made!<\/p>\n A sort of Asian inspired shrimp salad<\/p>\n The dressing was:<\/p>\n And no smoothie!\u00a0 I honestly didn’t feel like dragging my blender out.\u00a0 I did have some juice though, OJ+Cranberry+Seltzer.\u00a0 And some kashi crackers with hummus.<\/p>\n Once the kitchen was cleaned up, I had a bowl of frozen grapes and headed into the office.\u00a0 For a work project that’s coming up, I have to go through this “training” program required by a University.\u00a0 It actually is very silly as it has nothing to do with me and transcription.\u00a0 But in order for me to transcribe these documents, I have to take the same training the researchers did.\u00a0 Weird right?\u00a0 It’s taking forever!\u00a0 I’m just about half way through.<\/p>\n Then I stopped for the day and whined about what to do for dinner.\u00a0 Part of me wanted to go out only because I was tired and lazy and didn’t feel like doing anything.\u00a0 And the other part of my wanted to stay home and just make something easy.<\/p>\n I snacked on some baked chips while Scott and I discussed it.\u00a0 After much dramatic decision making on my part, I finally decided to make some soup.\u00a0 Comforting, easy, and we haven’t had any for a while.<\/p>\n Kale and white bean soup with onions and carrots.\u00a0 YUM!\u00a0 So flipping delish and I love kale.\u00a0 Since I didn’t have any in my smoothie, this was perfect. I think a lot of people have this misconception that soup takes all day long to make.\u00a0 It doesn’t! Soups are so easy and quick, they are perfect for fast meals.\u00a0 And you can toss anything in them!\u00a0 Whatever you have on hand can go in.<\/p>\n![\"Salad](\"http:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/OHC-09-04-09_salad.jpg\" "\\"Salad")
