Best Clif bar!

 
I had to work from 3-9pm and had 2 snacks while I was there. The first was an apple:

The second was a spiced pumpkin pie clif bar. It was SO good!!!! I could taste the pumpkin spice, nuts, and raisins in it. There was also this really good icing type of stuff on the bottom. I am so going back to the store to get more!!
When I got done with work I was STARVING since I didn't eat any dinner. I steamed some broccoli and ate leftover chicken and rice from last night. It was basically a complete repeat. 
Now I am watching the hills and catching up on blogs......Good night!

Spaghetti

For lunch I made one of my favorites! SPAGHETTI SQUASH! I love spaghetti in general so I try to make it with squash during the autumn season as a healthier alternative. I had a glass of this new pomegranate lemonade. It was pretty good, but REALLY sweet. I didn't even drink the whole glass. It might be better diluted with some water.


I cut some red leaf lettuce for a salad with raspberry vinaigrette dressing.

Then I made spaghetti squash with some marinara over it. I cooked the squash at about 350 for almost an hour. I topped it with some sauce from an already open jar of prego and VIOLA!




And for dessert I had my FAVORITE bar :)



On the way to work I tried this new water I had bought. It was called metro mint and I got the spearmint flavor. It is VERY minty tasting and hard to really drink a lot of. I can only take small sips and haven't gotten very far. I thought this might be a nice alternative to water since it had 0 cals, 0 sugars and 0 sodium. I think it is a bit too minty for me. They also have a peppermint flavor which might be slightly better or just as minty! It sure does make my mouth feel fresh when I drink it!!





Good Morning!


I'm excited for this week because I don't have to work until 3pm today or tomorrow (I am going to a conference later this week so my hrs. are kind of messed up) That means I have plenty of time to relax and work on hw in the mornings. For breakfast I had a bowl of Crispix with a banana in it. 

I wanted to try making some of my new coffee I got yesterday at STAPLES of all places! It was on sale and looked really good. It wasn't very punpkiny tasting, but had a good amount of spice flavor and will be perfect for the rest of the holiday season! 
I had a nice big cup while working on LOADS of homework. I have a giant project due on Wednesday that I am trying to finish up. 
While working away I had one of my Ryvita crackers with some french onion light laughing cow cheese on it. I REALLY like these crackers. They are light, but filling at the same time.
