~Tools of the Trade~

Today began with lots of snuggles early in the morning with Ruby running back and forth giving out kisses only for MOM! Unfortunately after way too much time lounging in bed it was a race to get breakfast and girls ready for school and me on time for my gym class! We did it! Still haven't made it to the grocery store and will be going right after this! Made the girls some PB&J Roll ups with granola and a sprinkle of chocolate chips inside! No time for a photo but here's my breakfast and lunch...

Breakfast: Toasted Whole Wheat English Muffin with PB&J and a sprinkle of flax seeds.



Lunch: Toasted Wheat Tortilla topped with half an avocado some bitchin sauce, white beans, yellow bell, cilantro, and broccoli leaves from our garden! Some parm cheese and TJ's Everyday seasoning


when i went to pinch some cilantro, i couldn't believe how big and beautiful the broccoli leaves were so I just had to pinch some of them too!



Now I'm having some yogurt and walnuts with hot tea and about to go to Trader Joe's!

yum, Yum, YUM!! that all looks so good!! i didn't know you could eat broccoli leaves? i'm assuming they're really good for you? i've also heard that you don't get all the benefits of the flax seeds unless they're ground up, like into meal. have you ever heard anything like that?

No i don't know anything about flax seeds versus ground...better do some research.

I didn't know about the broccoli leaves until another favorite bloggers post: http://www.girlsgonechild.net/
