Last night I….was…so…tired.
I have NOT been getting enough sleep. And per usual, I got extra snacky to cope with the tiredness.
I had a quick snack when I got home to tame the hunger monster: spelt bread topped with organic Muir Glen tomato sauce, and the last of my buffalo mozzarella. BUT, the hunger monster could not be tamed. I also had several crackers, Laughing Cow, and also found my hand in the bag of tortilla chips a few times. I was so super snacky!
Brad and I went on a three mile walk and I wasn’t even sure if I could make it three miles because of feeling so tired. When we returned home I was actually a little hungry still (or maybe just still craving carbs) and ended up having a sweet potato biscuit. So needless to say a lot of that managed to evade the camera, but who wants to see a bunch of uninteresting eating right?
I turned in at 9 pm last night, but being the super-light sleeper that I am, I woke up at every sound, resulting in less than stellar sleep.
This morning I was in a super duper rush to get out the door. How is it possible that some mornings I’m right on schedule, and other mornings time just seems to slip between my fingers?
This was the quickest thing I could throw together.
Usually my breakfast is a combination of a lot of things, but this morning my was several separate things.
I had an egg that looks perfect but would have been more perfect had it been over-easy and not well done, a sweet potato biscuit smothered with organic strawberry jam, strawberries, and veggie yogurt cheese.
I’ve come to notice that the more tired and rushed I get, the more boring my food is.
I promise to cook something more interesting for dinner tonight. Pinky swear.
Food in the News: I mentioned recently that the new GMO salmon is particularly scary for me because we have no idea if the FDA is going to require labeling that distinguishes this salmon from conventionally farmed salmon. Well what if high fructose corn syrup also gets a new label to confuse consumers as well? If the Corn Refiners Association has their say, HFCS will get a name change to “corn sugar”. Sounds wholesome and natural, no? Click here for the full article.
I would love to hear your thoughts on this.
Is HFCS just sugar? Do you think changing the name will fool the American public and get rid of the “stigma” surrounding it?
