Yes, I love traditional chickpea hummus, but I wasn't sure if this had a different base :) I love the garlic ones. I would love to make it but it never turns out as well as store bought.
I forgot it was Monday!! DH doesn't work Sunday-Monday so it causes me weekend confusion lol.
We have been working hard to get the gardens going. The onions are sad. I might try planting seeds between the seedlings to see if something will grow. I have runner beans sprouting and ready to plant somewhere. This was a nostalgic purchase for me... My mom had them when I was younger and I remember spending way too much time collecting the beans and drying them - they are really pretty, black and purple.
QOTD: do you have any gardening or plant nostalgia? My parents owned a garden centre for a few years when I was growing up and I remember running around and checking on the plants, watering, weeding, etc. I enjoy having some of my own plants now, but it has been a slow-growing hobby for the most part.

Way too much processed stuff today. We are getting a grocery pickup tomorrow so we will have more fresh stuff.
All water and vits. Reminder to wash your water bottles lol. I use a shaker cup and it really needs to be scrubbed more often :)
Hummus is made from chick peas which are a legume. They have one that is roasted red pepper that I really like with veggies as a dip too.
Is it bean based? That's very interesting. I will have to look for it next time I'm there.
Late start today!!
LN2 has been waking up a lot through the night -- I think it must be a growth spurt. She is super long -- she keeps growing out of her clothes just as I get them organized lol.
QOTD: what is your least favourite vegetable. I would have to say brussel sprouts. I know it's what a lot of movies would portray, but I really dislike the smell of them cooking too. Most things I don't like but the smell is okay. Except coffee -- CC should disown me ;) I really dislike the smell of coffee too.

I bought it at Costco... it's a 2 pack and is near the prepared salads, dips, fruit and veggies. I wouldn't say it is super sweet,,,, it is more along the dark chocolate line but is great for dipping fruit and at least it's healthy ingredients.
What is this chocolate hummus? I love everything chocolate and I'm always looking for things to sub in :)
Yes today is Thursday,,, c'mon Friday!
You are becoming a busy bee doing all this gardening. I'm sure you will have success with all of those veggies,,, root veggies are pretty self-sufficient. Pass some beets and parsnips my way if you have an abundance ;) You can keep the onions though,,, I have not liked them since I was a kid. (flavor is ok but the texture gets me)
QOTD: Yes I like parsnips ,,,, roasted is my favorite but I tend to throw them in when I make stew or soup too.
B- greek yogurt, berries
S - turkey pepperettes
L - sliced turkey, leftover cauliflower
S - a few pretzels with chocolate hummus (yes it was a weak moment where i was craving chocolate)
D - protein shake while I do a few errands after work
S - cheese string, 1/2 apple
YAY I'm at 2.5L of water already!
Good morning :)
Is it really Thursday already? I took five minutes this morning and planted some parsnip seeds. We are doing square foot gardening in boxes so I did about 60 seeds. Hopefully most of them will sprout :) Most things we started indoors. Last night I transplanted onions, radishes, and beets. This is really not my cup of tea so I hope they survive.
QOTD: do you like parsnips? I pretty much only like them roasted with potatoes and carrots. I don't know why we are growing so many but I expect we will end up giving some away lol.

Good afternoon!
Whew,, I was running all morning. I've had some issues with my left shoulder for the last few weeks and today I finally got in for an xray and ultrasound so let's hope they figure out what's happening. I've been on pain killers for 2 weeks just in order to sleep which is NOTHING like me... I have a very high pain tolerance and only rarely even take Tylenol. This is the same shoulder that I had broken in 3 spots and dislocated a few years ago, so I'm guessing it will likely be associated to that injury. This was the first day that retail stores are open in our area so I managed to sneak in to a local shoe store and buy some super comfy supportive shoes for my long walks. $$$ but they are quality and I don't mind the investment when I'm going to use them everyday.
QOTD: I would say that I actually enjoy sharing my food.... I'm constantly telling people to "try this" if I think something is yummy. I am a bit territorial about my protein staples though,,,, I try to make sure I have turkey pepperettes and sliced turkey breast and occasionally my kids go overboard on helping themselves. If they were young I'd get it but they are 21 and 23! lol
B - sliced turkey (on the way out the door)
S - non existant
L - chicken chop suey
S - low-fat SF bran muffin
D - Haddock, asparagus, cauliflower
S - greek yogurt
Still need to push my water since I was out of schedule today. I'm likely at 1.75 again but working on another Contigo bottle as I'm typing.
