Work today was so super busy. I didn’t barely even think about lunch until 12 pm, which is unheard of for me. I sometimes wait until 12 to have lunch, but that doesn’t mean I’m not counting down the seconds.
You know how some people say, “Oh I just get so busy, I forget to eat.”
I can’t relate to those people at all. We’re practically from different planets.
Lunch today was one of the sweet potatoes I baked to perfection last week. I also had a salad of spinach, pea shoots, cherry tomatoes, cukes, and a bit of goat cheese.
Have you ever tried pea shoots before? I picked these up at TJ’s on Sunday because I was interested to try them. They taste very fresh and green, if that makes sense. I think I like them better than sprouts, which always seem to go bad after spending one day in my fridge. Plus pea shoots have waaaay more Vitamin C and Vitamin A than sprouts.
Here’s their stats.

My little glass pot contained Earth Balance today for my sweet pot, instead of salad dressing. I decided to do double apples today since I have so many and they’re the size of plums. Look how tiny the one on the left is. It’s practically the size of a clementine.
I didn’t have any dressing made up at home, but luckily I found this dressing I stashed in the back of the mini fridge in the storage closet…the storage closet that is twice the size of my office.
I’m not bitter.
