Well, let me tell ya; this afternoon’s lunchtime soup was onnnnn point.
To be perfectly honest with you, I’m actually enjoying this Spinach Lentil Soup a whole lot more than I ever thought I would have. I mean, I guess lentils have never really called out to me all that much, but they are seriously rock stars in that soup. If it wasn’t for the yummy dinner I packed with me for tonight, I probably would have eaten another cup of soup.
When Jay and I had our yummy chicken dinner on Monday night, we he cooked up a little extra to have for during the week. This morning, I incorporated half of a breast (because, again, it was pretty large…and I’m jealous) on top of a nice veggie salad, including romaine, cukes, tomato, red bell pepper, carrots, and goat cheese.
I also ended up finishing off the rest of a bag of Kashi crackers, a fun-size bag of Skittles, some cinnamon roasted almonds (YUM!) and an amazing, much-needed Caramel-Mocha iced coffee from Dunkin Donuts, courtesy of mi madre.
Have I mentioned before how much working with my mom makes Wednesdays that much better? Well, in case I didn’t…it does. A lot.
I was really needing some mom-time tonight, and she definitely delivered on more than just the coffee front. Thanks again, Mom!

I’m saving the pear you see above for when I get home, because I’m totally envisioning it to look a little something like this…
Paired with a vanilla Chobani and a crap-load of granola. Ohhhh yes.
Now let’s hope I get home soon so I can enjoy my snack and watch my favorite Wednesday night shows! ;)

Bethany @Bethany's Befuddled Brain says
I love soups! They are my favorite go to meal. I ended up making MamaPea’s Creamy Broccoli soup tonight and it was delicious!
However, I’m not a fan of Wednesday today. I was stuck at my college campus for 3 hours because we were on lockdown. So fun.
Courtney says
Oh gosh! I hope everything is ok?!

Colleen @ Jimmy Choos on the Treadmill says
I like Wednesdays because I start work later in the day than usual! When I was in high school, Wednesdays were my favorite because I got out of school 45 minutes early. It was always such a midweek treat!
Katelyn @ Chef Katelyn says
ahhhh GOAT CHEESE. I have some in my dorm fridge and holy shit I put it on everything. Also I live on chobani and dunkin. Addicted.
Laura@mypurposefullife says
I like Wednesdays because they are the start of the downhill slide for the week. :) As an aside, every time you mention your mom and/or family it makes really happy for you, mine are so far away! I am so glad you get to spend Wednesdays with your mom. :)
Khushboo says

I like Wednesdays because it means I am halfway through the work week. It feels good to know that I have only 2 full days left of work :)
chelsey @ clean eating chelsey says
I love Wednesdays because it means we’re almost through the week! And It means the next day I don’t have to get up at the buttcrack of dawn to work out.
Shannon says
I like Wednesdays because…
a) it’s the middle of the school week
and
b) ABC Comedy Night is on w/ The Middle & Modern Family. I love those shows. :)
