I feel like Popeye today…

But first, my afternoon snack

Plus apple and craisins

Equals…

A delicious afternoon treat that took me almost an hour to eat.  Yea for cutting things up into small pieces!

Yesterday’s meal prep really paid off tonight – dinner was on the table in no time. 

Brown Rice Burritos!

This delicious burrito contains

• whole wheat tortilla
• spinach
• tomato
• Mexican Brown Rice
• black beans
• cheddar cheese
• Wholly Guacamole

I had two of these.

Now why do I feel like Popeye today….well all three of my meals today contained spinach!

Breakfast Smoothie

Sweet Potato Mac ‘n’ Cheese Salad

and Burritos!

Not containing spinach, but a delicious dessert nonetheless,

September 14, 2009:  Reduce usage of plastic sandwich bags or reuse them

I found this interesting article about plastic bags.  Although it primarily focuses on plastic shopping bags, I’m assuming that a lot of the same information applies.  Plastic sandwich bags are probably made from petroleum which has a whole host of environmental problems.  Furthermore, they are thrown away and take up space in a landfill or are carried by wind to the ocean where they kill aquatic life.  A bad story all around.  I don’t use plastic sandwich bags all that much, but when I do, I want to make every effort to reuse them a few times before throwing them out. 

I felt like MacGyver tonight as I created my own baggie drying rack.  Voila

That’s an old glass jar (reusing) with two chopsticks I found in my drawer.

Look how well it holds a sandwich bag.

Not only is this green, it saves me money too! 

Ok – I see an early night in my future.  I’m fighting a cold!
