Sushi and Trader Joes

Dinner

FacebookTweetPin
28 Jan

After my massage I went to Trader Joes and came out with two new finds. I think this first one is going to make you jealous… Crunchy Salted Almond Butter with Flax Seed. This may change my life.

I had half of one of these muffins on the way home. 🙂

I was craving sushi and Ben thought it was a good idea so we met for dinner. I started with miso soup. Why are Japanese restuarants always so hard to take pics in?

This is how I roll…

I forgot what the rolls are called. What do you expect? I’m not some rollologist.

Ben loves green tea ice cream and I never turn down ice cream so we shared this.

I capped off the night with a piece of dark chocolate, but I’m feeling a little snacky. I might have some fruit.

Tomorrow I have an assessment with a trainer at the gym. I guess it’s a free thing new members get. I just want to know how to use all the weird machines. I might ask her to cut to the chase…

Thanks for all the great comments on my last post! There is plenty more where that came from, you guys have sent me so many great questions!

    Japanese food is delicious. And not heavy on the stomach.

    I bought that almond butter at TJ’s too. I love the PB version of it so much so I’m super excited to try the AB!!!!

    A little too excited perhaps?

    AHHH! Almond Butter with Flax! I have the PB with Flax and I love it! I only have a Tbsp of PB with flax left (so sad) and no TJ’s for hundreds of miles 🙁
    Oh well… Have a great day!

    ahah, you definitely need to have her cut to the chase. also, beware of TJ’s goodies–they mold sooo quickly.I’ve often bought pies and muffins from there but don’t anymore. No baked good lasts long enough at my house to show signs of mold but these transform SO quickly. Scarf em up fast and definitely keep them in the fridge or they’ll be blue and furry before you know it.

    Trader Joe’s is the thing I miss most living outside the US and my number one concern while apartment-hunting is proximity to one. Strangely, the one I go to now is in the WORST part of town. So strange…
