Linbre

Linbre is my way of saying lunch, dinner and breakfast.  Get it?  So creative.  I know.

I hope everyone had a fabulous Halloween!  We had a lot of fun over here; it was a low key night, but we had quite a few trick-or-treaters so I got to see all sorts of cute costumes.  The best costume, though, goes to Lola:

That’s actually a repeat costume from last year, but she still looks stunning in it.  The hat was her favorite part.

So, backing up…yesterday’s lunch was pretty much the bomb.  Actually, everything I ate yesterday was amazing…but maybe that’s because everything that enters my mouth seems amazing.  Ugh.  Anyway, I had a vegetarian sandwich, a pickle and some sunchips.

That sandwich was seriously sooo good; there was so much stuff on it:  spinach, romaine, cheese, sundried tomatoes, regular tomatoes, cucumbers, spicy pickles, green peppers, banana peppers, corn relish (which is basically a mixture of corn and some spices) and avocado.  I think I could eat this sandwich everyday for the rest of my life and never get bored.  And the chips…sigh…chips are going to be the end of me!  No, not really.  If there is anything I’m craving constantly though, it’s chips.  I ate chips before I got pregnant, just not very often…and I’m trying not to eat them often now, but it’s hard when it’s all I want. 

Today, I decided, will be a chip-free day.

Dinner wasn’t any healthier than lunch unfortunately, but it too was incred.  We barbecued and I had a bratwurst and some roasted Brussels sprouts.  When was the last time you had a bratwurst?  For me, I can’t tell you the last time…I can think of a time I had a bite of one here and there, but to enjoy my own, well, that was pretty much a divine moment in my life.

Needless to say, today my eats need a bit of an overhaul; it’s healthy eating all day (hopefully all week) for me.  Breakfast was a success:

Similar to yesterday’s breakfast, today was 1/2 cup oats, a tablespoon of raisins and a tablespoon of crushed walnuts.  I’m also drinking some coffee right now because I have a headache I just can’t shake…I’m hoping the caffeine helps me…

I’ll be back tonight and my posts will actually have a purpose!  By that I mean I won’t just be posting pictures of food…I’ll be posting a recipe because we’re having some REALLY good chili for dinner.  It’s the perfect day for it, too!

    Love Lola’s costume!! That’s great.

    And, I love that you said, “incred” for “incredible” that’s something that I would do, I love shortening words!

    The last time I had a bratwurst was this summer, and I probably had them about three different nights this summer. My family is BIG on bratwursts! They are just so good!

    Your dog looks so cute, and happier to be in a costume than my dog was. I love that flavor of sun chips. Are they easy to find where you live? I could never find them except in a campus vending machine in Vegas.

    Awww, what a cute puppy! And it has been YEARS since I had a bratwurst… my dad just loves them, but I tend to go for the turkey hotdogs instead. ;)

    I totally don’t want to push anything on you, but we were learning in my biology class how caffeine should be reduced or cut out during pregnancy. Here’s an article that explains it… http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/21/health/21caffeine.html
    Feel free to totally ignore this part of my comment, but I just care too much about you (and the little one!) to not say anything. :)

    xxoo
