Love Whole Foods

Okay so busy busy days this week! Sorry for the sporadic posting! Yesterday I had a Think Organic apricot coconut bar on may to tutoring. It was pretty good! And then I had my last day of tutoring! Monday is our last day out at the school and we have our tutoring celebration!
Then for lunch I made a tuna salad wrap. I mixed up some tuna with a little mayo and mustard. Wrapped it up in a spinach wrap and put the last of my goat brie in with it and zapped it in the microwave for about 20 seconds so the cheese would get all melty. It was pretty delicious.
Then for the rest of the day I worked on my "final" for my tutoring class, we are putting together a packet of info and stuff for the parents to continue to work with their kids. Once I have everything maybe I'll take a picture- or at least of my awesome game that I spent entirely too long on yesterday. Then for dinner I had an Annie Chun's teriyaki noodle bowl. I have to say I was a little disappointed with this!!! I guess because I'm use to the pad thai ones, but I feel like all the other noodle bowls had peanuts or some kind of topping for it. So yeah it was okay but definitely not my favorite kind and I probably won't buy this kind again. I will stick to the pad thai and other kinds!
Then we went and saw He's Just Not That Into You at the Byrd. Talk about a depressing movie- basically the message was like some people have happy endings and find their true love but not everyone! ahhhhh who makes a movie like that!!!

So this morning I slept in until 11 but then stayed in bed on my computer until around noon! It was wonderful. Then I finally dragged myself up out of bed because I had tons of stuff to do! I quickly ate some unpictured, unhealthy beefaronis lol. Then I made a grocery list and went out and about to run errands!

First I went to Kroger where I mostly got cookie making stuff! I think some Monster Cookies and White Chocolate Macadamia cookies are in the future! I also got some Annie's Mac and Cheese and cleaning stuff because my grandparents are coming down this weekend and I need to clean the house!
Then I went to the dollar store in search of a leveled book to give to my kid for our tutoring celebration! I found a pretty cute book that I'll think he will be able to read even though its a Level F and he's only really reading on a Level D. Then I also got some fake windex to clean the mirrors and maybe my car windows hahaha. And bubble mailers since the semester is almost over and its textbook selling time!! And I also got some car cleaner/ uv protectant stuff that I left in my car so I would remember to use it haha!Then I went to Whole Foods!
I got spinach, tomatoes, mushrooms, onions, portabella burgers, So Delicious coconut milk ice cream sandwiches with banana split ice cream inside, eggs, milk, some raw revolution bars to try, a raw organic food bar, and a greens bar. And I got some goat cheddar which was definitely a splurge at $7 and I couldn't resist trying it right away and it was so good. Worth every penny of that $7!! And I got two free things! I had a coupon for a free Kashi frozen dinner so I picked up the Lemongrass Coconut Chicken and we will see how that is. I'm not really a chicken fan but everything else about this sounded so good so I figured I can always just pick the chicken out! And I also got this awesome Whole Foods reusable lunch size bag!So anyways I put all my food away and then walked up to my room only to look out the window and see this

Apparently they are like shooting a movie or something. I'm not sure but I watched them drive up and put on these weird costumes! They totally distracted me from doing homework!

Anyways while I attempted to work on homework I snacked on a Think Thin Brownie Crunch. yuckkk this was not good! I should have learned my lesson from the Chocolate Fudge kind. I love the Think Organic and Think Green bars but these chocolate Think Thin ones are really disgusting.

So there were all sorts of fun Earth Day freebies yesterday and there are still a couple more for the rest of the week!

Head over to Your Mama Reviews where they are giving away a free spotted box! You can read about it there but basically its this awesome box filled with all sorts of fun eco-friendly things!

If you want to get a way cool free reusable lunch size bag from Whole Foods just print out this coupon.

And finally if you live near a Wegmans they are doing a super awesome Earth day thing on Saturday. They have all sorts of cool stuff going on in the stores and if you bring in a plastic grocery bag stuffed with lots of other plastic grocery bags they will give you a free reusable bag. Unfortunately I am not at home this weekend and there is no Wegmans in Richmond! I'm a little sad that I'm missing out but I told my mom to go get me a bag but she probably won't because she doesn't like Wegmans for whatever crazy reason.

So I'm off to hopefully finish up some more homework and then maybe head over to Maggie's for Grey's tonight!

Richmond Whole Foods

So yesterday Maggie and I went to Whole Foods in Short Pump! It was my first time visiting this one and I have to say I was very impressed! The hot bar was much much better than the one in Fairfax! I definitely overloaded on stuff from there and a couple things from the cold bars too. I got a mushroom quesadilla, tabouli, moussaka, some sort of dumpling thing, and some sort of artichoke thing hahaha. It was all really good but the mushroom quesadilla was probably the start of the entire thing. It was so good! I ended up eating only half of it though because my eyes were bigger than my stomach, so I brought the rest home to eat later!



And I got a strawberry koombucha to drink! It was really good I like the strawberry one better than the raspberry one.When I got home I made some egg salad so I could make a sandwich to bring to eat in between my 2 night classes.
However I ended up not eating this because I went Erica, Jamie, and Danielle to Bodillaz in between classes. What is Bodillaz you might ask, well as Erica says it is like subway for quesadillas! hahha and it was! You order your basic quesadilla and then you tell them what kind of cheese and vegetables you want. I got a steak one with the mix of their cheese and with tomatoes and onions. It was really good but also huge. So I didn't take a picture then but I have the leftovers to eat tonight and I will take a picture of them for you!

When I got back from classes I busted out one of my new Whole Food purchases to try! So Delicious mini ice cream sandwiches made with coconut milk ice cream. Umm this was probably the most amazing ice cream sandwich I have ever had. I can't get enough of this So Delicious coconut milk ice cream, it never disappoints me.
Then I also had to try a tiny piece of these chocolate. It is dark chocolate with crystallized ginger in it which sounded absolutely delicious and I just had to see what it tasted like. It was really good but I wish it had a little bit more ginger in it.
So this morning I went and tutored and then we had our midterm during the second half of class, even though the middle of the semester was like a month ago. Next week is Henrico's spring break so that means no tutoring class since there will be no kids there to tutor! yay I love how I get 1 and a half spring breaks this semester. So next week I can sleep in every day and I only have to go to class Monday and Tuesday night! Then I can head home Tuesday night for a nice long Easter weekend!

Anyways when I got back from class I ate my leftovers from Whole Foods and then snacked on one of these cookies that I bought yesterday. umm Double Fudge Brownie?!?! They were so good hahaha.
So now it is my weekend! And I really need to work on this paper that is due Tuesday. So I guess now that I have blogged as a form of procrastination I should probably get started on that.

Oh and I almost forgot to tell you about two contests going on in the food blog world!
Graduate Meghann is hosting a contest for Erin Baker's Wholesome Baked Goods Website. They make these breakfast cookies that look really yummy and they are giving the winner the chance to pick out whichever product from their website that they want.

ok now I'm really going to work on my paper
