On Friday for dinner I picked up a Wegmans tofu burrito bowl from their hot bar. For $6 it's packed with rice, black beans, tofu, veggies, corn, salsa, queso, guacamole, and lettuce. It is such a good deal and so delicious.
Josh and I stopped by our new favorite restaurant, Pita Cabana, again on Saturday and ordered falafel sandwiches. Stuffed with hummus, tabouleh, tomatoes, feta, spinach, soumac, tzatziki, and babaganoush it is perfection in a wrap. I literally crave these sandwiches, and the prices are so reasonable we can afford to get them rather often. We just split them!
We also picked up some of the owner's homemade lavender and vinegar tea. It tastes like a sweet, mild kombucha and is so refreshing. It was the perfect accompaniment to lunch.
For dessert I had a treat from my childhood. Luigi's Italian Ice used to be one of my favorite treats. I ate one snuggled up on the couch with Josh while we watched The Notebook. I have wanted to watch it with him for forever, it is such a great love story. He was doubtful he would like it but was such a good sport and agreed to watch it with me the next time I brought the movie to his place. I was so excited when I finally remembered to bring the movie, although I feel so bad because I ended up sobbing throughout the entire movie. I was so emotional thinking how happy I am that I found my great love story and how magical our wedding and our lives are going to be. Thankfully he loved the movie (and was okay with me crying after I explained they were happy tears) but I am so nervous for how I am going to hold myself together at our ceremony. I am going to need heavy-duty waterproof makeup and to try and keep myself together. I'm pretty sure it ruins the mood if the bride bawls her entire wedding day. Is anyone else a crier?
After a good nights sleep and a leisurely morning Josh and I headed over to Wegmans for another yummy lunch. This time I got another six dollar meal, but one with eggplant roulettes, pesto potato salad, and asparagus salad. This was only half the meal, I kept the other half for a snack later in the day. It was so fresh and delicious and so incredibly tasty.
Then it was Pilates time! My Nike Shox make me SO tall! haha
Afterwards Josh cooled down with a big berry smoothie. We picked up some stuff for his blender, including hemp protein powder, and I'm so glad he enjoys it all. My VitaMix has definitely spoiled me though, seeing another blender in action is a sad thing. ;p
I had a plate of mozzarella, basil, balsamic vinegar, and tomatoes grown fresh from Josh's porch garden. It was so good!
After being good and working out we decided to be bad and head to Cold Stone. We met up with Pierce and had a good time hanging out over ice cream.
My baby sized cake batter ice cream with cookie dough. It's my favorite Cold Stone combo. I was attempting to have some self control on a splurge.
And then there was this. Pierce got a chocolate cake and vanilla ice cream sundae. It was ginormous and he was so nice to share a few bites with us. It was pretty tasty!
The splurges further continued because after ice cream we got on the subject of junk food cravings and I thought of Taco Bell. I haven't been to Taco Bell in nearly a year, and before that over three years. It's definitely an infrequent trip but man do I enjoy it every time I go. We decided to head over and I ordered a bean burrito. It was warm and ooey and gooey. Definitely worth the trip and the splurge. :D
Oh and I just created a Facebook Fan Page for Girl Gone Veggie. It would mean so much if you could LIKE it. Thanks!
Question of the Day: Are you okay justifying food splurges? What are some of your favorite ones?
