bottled water

On my way to the gym today stopped by Trader Joes no time for dinner before my spin class and not wanting to ruin the momentum with having a late dinner after a good sweat, I picked up my new favorite Cliff bar in mint flavor and feeling a little guilty as I also picked up some bottled water. I usually carry my water to go in a large pink Starbucks coffee tumbler that I have converted to my reusable,washable, water decanter by my station to keep my hydrated throughout the day and a reminder to drink up. Today I realized I forgot my water mug and drank from a pretty wine glass at work ( I do this at home too, just feels better). Now to the class, As I listened to the music and started to follow the cadence of the instructor, through my asthma inflicted short deep breathes, I noticed every person in the class had some sort of water tumbler, no plastic bottles (except for me). Ok, yes it was a rather small class but still that is way cool, don't you think? Some designer bottles with a worthy mission here, my earth day pledge here.

I love Trader Joes

I am looking forward to this butternut squash recipe as seen here when the weather cools off. Looking for a light and tasty menu Trader Joes was calling my name. Planning to do a little shopping on an empty stomache is never a good idea. As I was gathering some ingredients for a recipe from this wonderful book that a client recommended to me, I Love Trader Joes I passed by the food sampler and as I poured myself a little coffee, I notice the lavash wrap that was being rolled and had to take a taste test. I ended up buying all the ingredients for a light, delicious, quick, and healthy, veggie, inspired meal. I will share the ingredients and hopefully the pics will help you to wrap up a pretty meal!

Ingredients:

Lavash Bread
Wild Arrugula
Whipped Cream Cheese
Sun Dried Tomato Bruschetta
Crumbled Feta with Mediterranean Herbs

Roll out your Lavash bread. Mix Bruschetta and Feta to a paste. With a Spatula spread on bread evenly
Sprinkle Arrugula on top
Roll Lavash Bread up with a dollop of Whipped Cream Cheese spread to seal.
Cut up in quarters and enjoy!

I love the ritual of my morning coffe or cafecito as I call it. I am especially happy to not only have found a coffee that is equally as delicious as my morning Caffè Verona, rich aroma and the taste is dark and smoky.at half the price. My new favorite, Joe from Trader Joes with 100% Arabica beans from Colombia, Brazil and Peru that are medium roasted. I love to share good news on great things. Another morning ritual is a daily blog read, I love to find a little bit of pleasure in the time and effort it takes to share our soul through writing. Here is a blogger that I have come across with a name that complements todays post, have a great morning!
