For breakfast this morning I had one peanut butter ryvita and a coffee and figured because I was awake so early, I would have a gander at the royal wedding. Now folks, talk about your convert. I was so over hearing about it, and kept saying WHO CARES but watching it... I dunno, it was a piece of history, it was beautiful, and I really got into it, plus seeing Will and Haz hanging out as brothers gave me warm fuzzies. Especially after living in the UK for those years, and being away, it made me feel a bit sad and a bit happy at the same time.
I got to work very early, and took in some red velvet cupcakes which went down a treat at 9:30am. I washed it down with a chai tea bought from me by a girl at work I call the 'crazy lady', she has an awesome deadpan sense of humour and has me in stitches quite often.
For lunch I had a salad from the cafe (because I ate my lunch last night), and it was average. Mixed lettuce, broccoli, cauliflower, chickpeas, olives and sundried tomato. Oh and some ham (Random? Yes. Tasty? Not really).
When I got home I was starving so I had some left over lime and sea salt rice crackers. Was sad when the bag ended.
For dinner, well, I was totally disorganised this week and have had the hankering for a constant calorie fest. The shameful thing is I would have killed for pizza tonight, but had to talk myself out of it. Lee was working late and the fridge is empty so we got Thai instead, I had chicken & shrimp with 'purple' eggplant and basil. We stumbled across some dumplings also (not so Thai) :
Very tasty but couldn't finish it. Rice overload.
I am menu planning for the week. Lee has Monday off so we will do the grocery shopping for the week then. I am thinking healthy, I am thinking creative and I am thinking fun. Suggestions welcome before Monday!
Stay tuned tomorrow for my third cooking challenge, quinoa paella was the clear winner, thanks to the handful of people who voted. I will also be taking suggestions for the next challenge. Maybe desserts, or multi-appetizer central? Anything! So I throw it out to you guys. Go on, inspire me.... Or at least humor me?!

I came across this recipe the other day. I would normally go straight ahead and cook it, but am so time poor with Penny. Check it out. I think you should do a dessert challenge!

You know what Mez? I am going to have a crack at that! I am having some people over for dinner soon, so would be perfect to do it then, plus its before I start my new job so I have the time.
Awesome recommendation, thank you!!!
