Delicious Dinner, New Friend

by Heather on January 19, 2010

For dinner I met a fellow Boston area blogger at the Whole Foods in Dedham.  A food lover’s paradise, that Whole Foods is amazing – and has food available to meet both our dietary needs. 

Who did I meet?  Shannon from Lessons to Learn!  Sadly, I forgot to take a picture of my new friend but head over to her blog and learn more about her – she is a great person. 

For dinner, we both picked up some things from the salad bar.  Here is my container

January 19, 2010 002A little bit of eggplant parm, grapes, mandarin oranges, salad with roasted garlic!), and a few bites of Caesar salad.  

On the side, I got edamame

January 19, 2010 004I ate about 1/2 of these.

What a great dinner! 

Shannon and I spent close to 2 hours talking – we have so much in common – we even got married the same week!  I have been reading Shannon’s blog for a few months – it was so good to get to know some more.

After Shannon and I parted ways, I walked the aisles of Whole Foods and picked up a few things.  Whole Foods is a dangerous place.  I should not be allowed to meander up and down the aisles.

Today is Tuesday so you know what that means:  Think About It/Take Action Tuesday!  

I found this great article on How to Eat Less Meat.  There were some great suggestions – I really love the idea of using ground porcini mushrooms for flavor. 

Check out the ideas.  Do any sound appealing to you?

Good for you for going home to blog…I went home, and crashed on the couch. But guess what?! Desperate Housewives didn’t record! We got the last 2 minutes and nothing else. We are going to have to find it on-line!

I realized as I was leaving that I never took your picture to post!! Oh well, I will direct people here and they can see you here on your blog. I had a great time!

I LOVE getting the fresh food from Whole Foods – mine also always look like a big mix with as much as I can fit together :)

How exciting!! Definitely some great tips in that article! I want to try the one about adding peanut butter to things like chili (since I already have a love affair with pb anyway)!

Glad you and Shannon had a fun dinner. I haven’t been back to the Dedham Whole Foods, but I’d love any excuse to take a trip out there. Especially for that salad bar!
