Snacky Find
Hi friends 😀 How’s your Sunday been? Hope you’ve had a beautiful and relaxing day.
(The Pilot got that expression from her by saying “Are you a chicken girl? You want chicken??” and then of course had to give her some chicken)
We’ve been laying low today, it only seemed right after 11 hours of sleep last night (!!) haha.
In between doing blog work and cleaning up the casa, we made a trip to the mall (holler to Aldo for exchanging my sandals!) and to Beyond Bread for lunch.
I had some vinegar slaw:
along with a half order of Kalid’s Curry with no bread, since I brought my own slices of brown rice bread from home 🙂
It was the ONLY thing that sounded good on the menu (chicken, mayo, curry and seasonings, jicama, raisins and almonds) and it was ahhhhmazing.
New snacky find:
As we ate our lunch, we drove to see my great grandmother and had the best visit with her. <3 I love Sundays.
We’re off to see Viesa (!) and then to Bridesmaids. The Pilot hasn’t seen it yet and I want to welcome him to the world of hilarity that is that movie 😉
See ya in the morning!
xoxo

Bridesmaids is too funny! Good idea to get that growing baby of yours smiling and laughing as soon as possible!! 🙂
I love Beanitos- sooo good!
Do you usually bring GF bread around with you?
I think I may have to start doing that as the only options in restaurants are salads!
Even the corn tortillas in mexican restaurants are fried in the same oil as wheat usually . .. Sad story 🙁
Your puppy is so cute!!! I love Sunday’s
Oh man. I am *so* addicted to Beanitos. The black bean ones are my favorite!
That salad looks amazing–I’m glad it tasted as good as it looks!
I LOVED Bridesmaids–I hope the Pilot likes it!
aw viesa!
11 hours of sleep is so necessary sometimes
Beanitos are my FAVORITE!
Yay for Bridesmaids viewing #2!! <3 that movie!
Bella looks EXTRA adorable in that photo!
I always love simple, fresh berries in the summer. 🙂 Maybe topped with some real, vanilla flavored, whipped cream?
Enjoy the rest of your weekend! I'm sipping on your honorary glass of shiraz right now, ha!
Yes! I just made a REALLY REALLY GOOD almond joy bar, the recipe is from http://www.elanaspantry.com, but I made my own modifications. Its a great recipe, can’t screw it up, Nobody will know its grain-free (unless you tell them!)
that sounds incredible!!! thank you for the recipe 🙂
I’m not well-versed in GF, but I love peanut-butter cookies!
I’m so jealous of your 11 hours of sleep. Sounds glorious!
bridesmaids is one of the most hilarious movies i’ve seen in a while…i loved it! so quotable 🙂
Little Miss Bella’s expression definitely put a smile on my face. 🙂
Bahaha, I hope the Pilot can handle the crudeness of Bridemaid’s! Even my madre, who’s into those kind of movies, cinched after watching 🙂 I thought it was a crack- up though!
Question…. do you still think gluten is affecting your stomach? I remember you said you tried eating it and it didn’t hurt you? I’d love to know your thoughts!
it doesn’t bother me if i have a small amount, but i can’t have it more than one day in a row or my stomach hates me
I’m curious to hear if The Pilot liked Bridesmaids. I want to see it and I want to take Jason with me but it is going to take some convincing!
he thought it was really funny 🙂 [and he’s a tough critic]
Gluten free black bean brownies! So yummy and nobody will know what’s in them 🙂
I’m so glad others relax hard on their Sunday’s. And beanitos… yum!
How about my GF and vegan almond butter & dark chocolate rice crispy treats? http://www.nutritionnutontherun.com/2011/06/03/almond-butter-dark-chocolate-crispy-rice-treats/
You’re seeing Bridesmaids again? Lucky girl! That sounds like a good idea, can’t get enough of Kristen Wiig!
http://glutenfreegoddess.blogspot.com/2005/12/peanut-butter-chocolate-chip-bars.html
I frequent this website to oogle over her yummy looking gluten desserts! 🙂 But, I love PB&Chocolate so this would be the perfect BBQ dessert for me, haha
those look amazing! thank you 🙂
Beanitos. Those sound sooo good. In theory. In reality, I should probably never eat those and go out in public. Sorry about the TMI, just being honest 🙂 lol
No Bake Coconut & Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bites
http://www.loveveggiesandyoga.com/2011/06/no-bake-coconut-chocolate-chip-cookie-dough-bites.html
Vegan, GF, no bake, Vitamix, 5 mins. <—That's as much time as a pregnant lady should spend on her feet in the kitch anyway 🙂
Bring a gluten free cheesecake! Or blondies..
Check out the “Pea Worthy Fig Bars” that Gena at choosingraw posted a couple weeks ago. I took them to a beach bbq with the FRG and they got more raves and recipe requests than peanut butter cookies. Very good!
Elanaspantry.com has great GF recipes too.
Pavlova with passion fruit!! Check it out on Nigella. It’s our all-time fave summer dessert. x
Hi Gina! This doesn’t have anything to do with your post today, but I was just wondering what you ever thought about the Tracy Anderson Mat DVD? I’d love to hear your opinion about it! I love your blog, btw 🙂
i loved it! will get a review post up soon 🙂
That slaw looks delicious!!
We give our dogs chicken too.. and would get the same type of look if the word is mentioned. There are actually a number of words that we have to spell (chicken being one of them) to keep the sanity!
Quinoa salad with fresh baby tomatoes, avocado & mandarin oranges – had this at a church party and it was awesome.
And congratulations on the pregnancy, just got caught up on your blog after the honeymoon!
I love those Beanito thangs! I had them in an airport next year and they were fabulous! Love the flavor!
Inside-out chocolate dipped strawberries! Just hull a bunch of strawbs, stuff them with chocolate chips (white, dark, or milk), and bake at 350* for a few minutes, until chocolate has melted. So easy, and so so so good.
that is such a great idea!!
I had the most amazing strawberry rhubarb crisp at a restaurant on Saturday. I can’t stop thinking about it! Strawberries and rhubarb are in season in the northeast now, not sure about Arizona! You’d probably have to heat the crisp up in their oven before serving, which may be inconvenience…
Those Beanitos sound so good! I love crunchy chips with flax in them!
It stinks there was only one good thing on the menu, but when it’s a winner, all you need is one, right? Happy Monday!
I cannot believe I haven’t seen Bridesmaids yet! I need to get with the program, I’ve only heard good things.
it’s HILARIOUS 🙂
your dog is so pretty and looks so cuddly 🙂 bridesmaid is not yet shown here but i guess i would watch it if it finally does 🙂
I’m loving your leopard nails! Thanks to you posting about them, I went searching the grocery store and found them. For my first time though I went with sparkly pink. I love them and will definitely have to try the leopard next!
i seriously need to get myself a bag of those Beanitos! they look soo good
