Cheers for Healthy Bites!

Tough decisions! Jacob and I were getting ready to go to Boot Camp yesterday morning, and he asked me what our lunch plans were. I mentioned the Brunch and Bowling at Lucky Strike with friends. For $15, you get bottomless mimosas, game and shoes, and one entrée. Yay! But, the wise boyfriend told me that we would be totally negating our workout. Boo! So as I was grunting, sweating, and suffering through my burpees, the thought of fried chicken and french toast just didn't sound so appetizing.

I kept thinking about the prospect of a tasty Morningstar black bean burger with some baked sweet potato fries. Have you ever tried those black bean burgers? Damn! They are so good. They taste nothing like hamburgers, but they are spicy and dee-licious. You can have the patties and the fries baking in the oven while you take care of other business. Jacob steamed some cauliflower, and I sautéed them with canola oil and sprinkled a little bit of sea salt and parmasean cheese. The lunch meal ended up being quite lovely.

After our meal, I did end up meeting my friends. And, it was definitely more guilt-free. I had a couple mimosas and bowled a couple of games. Balancing out the little demons is a good thing. And it was much much more enjoyable.
