I was so looking forward to this lunch since it was super-healthy. I’m not walking today due to leaving early so my lunch feels a little incomplete! I’m hoping to get a walk in this afternoon though.
Super salad:
- 1/2 a cup of mashed Navy beans
- Lettuce
- Avocado
- Pomegranate seeds
- Zucchini/squash
- Mushroom
- Cucumber
- Homemade lemon-walnut oil dressing
Grapes and sliced pear-apple. I found this thing in our fridge that my mother-in-law brought over. I saw almost the same thing at Harris Teeter last week listed as a “pear-apple” cross. It was HEAVENLY! Like a vanilla-vodka infused pear. It was seriously vanilla bean flavored, which I love, but I’m assuming it was just the natural fruit (although maybe it was partially fermented or something!?). Anyways, be on the lookout for pear-apples. They look like pears in the shape of apples.

I’m not particularly full and my mouth wants to keep eating. I’ll have to go brush my teeth and drink some more water.
We’re supposed to have homemade chili (= throw a bunch of canned things in a pot) tonight, but I’m not really in the mood. But we’ll probably end up doing it anyways. I’ve got 700+ calories left for snack and dinner. Maybe today I’ll try the Larabar.

Hi Kath, is it an Asian Pear? I just bought some and they look like an apple and have similar nutrition information.

Brenda – It could be, but I'm not sure since it just showed up in our fridge! But I saw these apple-pears at the grocery store and this one was the same apple shape. So you might be right. Do they taste like vanilla bean?

Yea, a little bit in the one I just had. Here is a pic:http://www.bouquetoffruits.com/admin/checkout.php?action=viewProduct&orderNumber=&CatalogID=10&viewProd=BF10000BF139&SearchKey=&Dynamic=1&user=
