Texas P-rideee

Wow, thank you all so much for the bbq sauce recommendations. Let’s just say i’m officially addicted to Amy’s Texas Burgers (go….buy….now if you’re into that smoky, bbq-sauce flavor), and i’m seriously dissapointed that there are only 4 servings per box. Those Amy’s burgers may cost a pretty penny, but I find them completely worth it. I did not even KNOW that I was into this type of thing. Vegetarians don’t typically eat ribs and chicken smothered in bbq sauce, so i’ve never really needed to use it! I never learned how to “cut” foods till I was older either, since I never needed to hack open a chicken breast or stack of ribs! Ya feel me?? 

Anyway, take a look at last night’s mouthgasmic dinner. 

started with a salad, topped with Goddess Dressing

pre- rollage

main course...with more sauce for dipping

 I just threw some Sabra Roasted Garlic hummus, lettuce, tomatoes and an Amy’s Texas Burger into the wrap, drizzled it with bbq sauce (spicy, organic & no suga-added!), and called it complete. I was eating this alone, but kid you not……just kept telling myself how amazing it was, over and over again…..such a weirdo. 

Here are some of my other eats:

quesadilla (w/ pepperjack cheese), sauteed veggies, blue corn tortilla chips, salsa

 Had the quesadilla platter w/ some internship-inspired Lentil Soup! Mmm, home-made soup is good. 

lentil soup (internship pic) ! is this appetizing??

home-made trail mix....TO GO

Brought this trail mix (carob chips, shredded spoonfuls, pb puffins, tj’s sesame almonds + an apple) to Andrea’s for the Real Housewives NJ Reunion. Enough with Danielle and THE BOOK. I’m over it. But still loved this episode, and can’t wait for round dos, tonight! After the show, we headed over to our friend Sean’s house for a little Beer Pong. It was like, 11 guyes….and us 3 girls? Apparently they love the added estrogen. It was the perfect night in my book….lazinggg around + tv, AND going out, socializing with friends. 

blueberry oats! Made with water, blubes, WCW, tj's blueberry ground flax & oatmeal

+ tangerine juice, toast w/ ab & agave

lunch: GM, sandwich, Bbq rice chips

In the GM: 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, handful of spinach, 5-6 ice cubes, 1/2 a banana, handful of strawberries, & vanilla protein powder. 

And in the sandwich: melted pepperjack cheese, dijon and tomato in a toasty lil’ english muffin. 

I work, work, worked at Jamba after this meal…and snacked on a Cashew Cookie larabar (fave) while maaa girls visited me on my 10 minute break. They’re so sweet (and feelin’ the summer boredom!).

After work I had that amazingness of a dinner posted above, then headed over to Andrea’s for some Real World: Cancun action. Does this not remind you of the Las Vegas season? I’d only watch it when my parent’s were gone, since this girl was not aloud to watch such scandalous, profanity-filled shows back in the day (!!). Haha…..We did our girl thing, watched tv, snacked on cereal (cheerios + milk!), then headed back to Sean’s for more BP. Let’s just say I was serious entertainment for the night. 

I killed it in some “table tennis” (made the partner drink for me, again…they love it) and put on quite the show when the boys tried to teach me the “jerk dance” . But I was sober (by the way!!), since this girl had to eventually drive home. If only you could see the vids the boys took on their cell phones. You’d love it. We called my version the “Jessica Jerk”….hahahahaha.

And this morning’s breakfast: 

yogurt oats!

Oats, 1/2 a wallaby blueberry yogurt, Maranthana peanut butter, tj’s blueberry ground flax, 1/2 a banana

+ the usual sides, note the pretty cup reflection

So last night was really fun, to say the least….but we were a tad rebellious (haha….) and got home a little too late for our parent’s liking. Our 1 o’ clock curfew is now strictly enforced. Great. 

And so (moral of this post is….) if you’re bored and needing something to do today, learn the “jerk dance”……  

I’m off to shop (till’ I drop….) for clothes, and food. Of course. 

Hope you’re all having lovely Thursdays! It’s almost Friday, get exciteddd…. not that I have any mayyjuh plans or anything….

Much love, Jess
