I’ve gotta say, I really liked reading all of the words and phrases from this morning that drive you guys nuts. I’m in agreement with quite a few of you on some of ’em, including (and also adding):
- “om nom nom”
- “cray cray”
- moist (yup, sorry Jordan, I’m one of them!)
- “sorry I’m not sorry” (Alyssa, I feel ya on this one – I loved the phrase, but it just got wayyyy overused)
Too funny!
Lunch
Thankfully, I got my act together this morning and found some time to add veggies back into my life. After yesterday’s carb-tastic lunch and dinner, followed by this morning’s breakfast, some veggies were definitely necessary…and boy were they yummy today!
Remember when I was on a bit of a crabmeat kick a couple months ago? Well my friends, it’s back, and it’s just as delicious as I remembered. This salad may have been a bit random on the combos, but I loved every bite of it.
- romaine
- cukes
- grape tomatoes
- baby carrots
- roasted broccoli and cauliflower
- sweet pickle relish
- The Laughing Cow Light Swiss Cheese wedge
- ~1 serving (1/2 cup) crabmeat
I warned you it was random, but it was super tasty!
On the side, I also packed up another golden delicious apple and a chocolate chip brownie Larabar.
In addition to that, guess what else I’ll be sipping on this afternoon?
Oh yes, that would be a Starbucks Caramel Brulée Latte, but I will be attempting to make mine a teensy-weensy bit healthier by going with non-fat milk and no whip (which saves 150 calories and 15g of fat)
**FYI: From now until November 20th, from 2-5pm, Starbucks is offering BOGO holiday drinks, so take advantage if you can!
I’ll tell ya…it definitely helps to have thirsty friends around! ;)
Questions for the Afternoon:
What’s the most random salad combination you’ve ever tried?
Do you find you’re more tempted to buy something (such as a Starbucks beverage) when there’s a deal involved?
Claire @ Live and Love to Eat says
Grabbing a co-worker and heading for the nearest Sbux… definitely need an afternoon pick me up!
Lindsey says
Oh I will be hitting up a Starbucks for that deal for sure! And yes, I love deals :)
Brittany @ GOtheXtraMile says
Heck yes, I’m a sucker for a good deal. Especially if it involves something like coffee or froyo. Sign me up! I always make random salad combos. I usually just throw everything into a huge bowl, mix it together, and call it a day. I always add fruit!
Mandee @ Mandeelicious says
i am so over “sorry i’m not sorry” too! drives me nuts!
i LOVE caramel brulee frapps! soooo good. that’s my fav flavor!
Laura @ Unchartered 20s says
That salad looks good! Veggieful. I hope you unwrapped the cheese before eating ;)
Paige @ Running Around Normal says
Omg I HATE cray cray. It needs to die a fiery death!
I definitely am a sucker for deals. Shane’s always said, “we spend more money on free gifts…” LOL!
Tracy @ Tracy's Treats says
That salad looks great! You got me craving crab now!
Rosa - Fitness, Food, Fulfilled says
Deals always tempt me! If I can get anything for “free” or severly discounted, I’ll go for it if the original thing I’m buying is something I actually use or want.
Chelcie of Chelcie's Food Files says
I love the starbucks holiday lattes! I haven’t tried that kind yet but next time I get my starbucks fix I’m going to!
Gina @ Running to the Kitchen says
I know I’m a post behind here but can we PLEASE add “totes” as in totally not as in a tote to carry something in. Omg, I can’t stand that one! haha
Lena @Fit on the Rocks says
I feel really slow, but I JUST realized that cukes=cucumbers lol.
Courtney says
LOL! :)
Kelly says
I am not a fan when bloggers write out “m, kay?”
Shannon says
I HATE when others use the phrase ‘cray cray’. I wonder who came up with that.
I can’t answer your first question because I’m not a big salad eater. For your second question, I think I’m more tempted to get something that I like when it’s on sale- for instance, a pack of double dutch muffins at PC are 2 for $3, I’m so there!
Erica says
i am a HUGE SUCKER for deals like that! (or deals in general for that matter!)
Hope says
I am definitely more tempted to buy something when there is a deal like that! I’m really wanting to try the Skinny Peppermint Mocha although I might make mine have soy milk because I’m lactose intolerant. It sounds delicious :)
Nancy says
The words epic and legit drive me mental. In almost every tweet I see, people improperly use the word legit. It angers me lol
Khushboo says
OHh how could i forget- bloobs…that word cringes me out!! Love your salad- the more random the better!
Crystal Coppel says
Yesterday i went to Starbucks to take advantage of the buy one get one free deal and I tried the caramel brulee latte for the first time and it was awesome!!! I’m in love with it now! I got soy milk in mine (i always get soy in my drinks) and no whip also. I can’t wait to get anothe one tonight! :)
Alyssa @ Life of bLyss says
it’s so sad. I’m still mourning the loss of “sorry I’m not sorry”‘s dignity.
and let me add a “haaayyyuul yeeeah!” to the laughing cow light + starbies love. ;)
Minda says
Hi, I am one of Julie’s friends from college, I stumbled onto your blog via PBF. You and your hubby are adorbs! If you like the crab you should try “lobster chunks” they are even yummier :) They are made by the same company I believe.
Courtney says
Hi Minda!
Thanks so much for stopping by and for the sweet compliments :)
I will definitely keep the lobster chunks in mind for next time!
Julie @ Peanut Butter Fingers says
HIIIII MINDA! I feel so creepy for seeing your comment on this post but it made me smile. :) I MISS YOU!
Courtney says
Haha, I love seeing you guys chat on here! That’s too funny :)
Minda says
Hiiii JUL!!! I miss you too! Hope you and Ryan are doing well…I need to make a little roadtrip to Ocala to visit :)
