Awww, I missed these guys! I was only away overnight, but seeing their smiling faces when I came home this afternoon made me so happy. 
I don’t know who was more excited to see me– my husband or my dog. Murphy almost wagged his tail right off his butt!
Breakfast
On my way to catch the BoltBus this morning, I made a couple of stops for breakfast: Fairway for fresh mixed berries and Starbucks for a turkey bacon egg sandwich on an English Muffin and an iced coffee with soymilk. This breakfast included so many of my favorite foods. It was a good way to start the day!
Lunch
My lunch was sort of pathetic today. I didn’t plan well, so I just sort of winged it. I wasn’t super hungry when I got onto the bus, so I didn’t think about buying more food for the ride to Boston.
I didn’t have many options being stuck on a bus, so I ended up snacking on some Food Should Taste Good Multigrain chips from last night’s swagbag. I liked ‘em a lot.
When I arrived at my apartment nearly 5 hours later, I went right for the leftover cupcakes from my birthday party. I ended up choosing the Boston Cream flavor. Mmm! It wasn’t the healthiest option for lunch, but I was hungry!
A little while later, I snacked on a kiwi.
Dinner
For dinner, I kept things simple with a Barney Butter + banana sandwich on whole wheat bread. (The Barney Butter was a special birthday treat from Sabrina! That girl knows how to pick good b-day presents!! 
)

Oooo a boston creme cupcake sounds so good! If you’re going to enjoy one, it really has to be from Boston
Welcome back to Boston! Your whirlwind trip to NYC looked busy but wonderful. I hope you have a nice relaxing week ahead of you!
I always miss my kitties. Even if it’s only one night away!!
I use my Foam Roller religiously. This Tiger Tail thing has my intrigued…
That cupcake looks like a great lunch addition! Enjoy the evening with your family:)
YUM boston creme! I’ve only ever tried the yoplait that comes in that flavor and boy was it good!
welcome home! enjoy your night back with your two men
Aww, how cute about Murph dog. The cupcake is a-okay for lunch in my book, I mean hey, you technically can be celebrating your bday all the way from your surprise party to your actual birthday!
Those cupcakes look mouth-watering at this very moment!
My husband thought I was crazy when I bought a friend nut butter for her birthday! But I know that my favorite gifts are edible gifts – especially good nut butter!
Mm, that cupcake looks out of this world good! Sometimes a little afternoon treat is just what you need, healthiness be darned
PB&B is my go to sammie combo too, nice and simple but delicious!
Those are my favorite cracker/chips ever!
P.S. I saw “Keep Calm & Carry On” pillows & art at Target today… made me think of you + I totally want them ; )
I can see Murphy wagging his tail right off his butt…..I seriously LOL at this!!
Glad you had fun on your short trip, I’m still envious though, of course. And Food Should Taste Good chips are my absolute favorite!!!
Hit a home run, Mal!! And cupcakes & chips is the lunch of champions.
Glad your back home and were able to enjoy one of your delicious cupcakes. :0
oooh I must say that that cupcake does look mighty fine!!!
I love those multigrain chips…they are so yummy!
Yay for being back in the comforts of home! And what’s more comforting than a welcome-home cupcake, really? Well done you
That cupcakes looks delicious!
Those chips are great, aren’t they?! Glad you had a good time and made it back to the boys! I hope you have a great evening!
Is Barney Butter not sold in Boston? I eat the skin of my kiwi too – people think that’s weird, but I enjoy the extra texture!
i love your random eats. sometimes that’s what your body wants!
I am so happy the Barney Butter made it safely!
i feel like you guys are the ultimate all american couple!! basketball games, high school sweethearts, foodies
How does Mal feel about all your traveling?
@diana(mymarblerye): He misses me, but he’d never tell me not to do what I love!
Fairway is the most AMAZING grocery store ever! I LOVE it there!
I have The Stick and I love it! Seems like the Tiger Tail is the same thing. I got it while training for my first marathon and it was a lifesaver after those 20+ mile long runs!
The comment about Murphy almost wagging his tail off his butt cracked me up haha
Enjoy your boys
Mmm, cupcakes… well, sometimes you just gotta wing it. At least it was tasty, right?
Welcome home! I’m glad you had a safe trip. 
Wei-Wei
Chips and cupcakes? Sounds like a great lunch.
Hope you have fun at the game. Welcome home.
FSTG chips are the best!! They are definitely going to be a part of my lunch tomorrow.
My cats get so clingy and needy whenever I vanish for a day or two.
Your eats look delish today! That cupcake looks amazing.
That event looked so fabulous, but coming home is always the best.
so glad you’re back with your boys…coming home always feels so good
oh god that boston cream cupcake looks amazing…i’m running to sweet as soon as i get back to boston.
Cupcakes for lunch is no bad thing! M and M are so happy to see you, I hope you had a good time at the softball game.
I’m really excited to get my hands on Food Should Taste Good chips tomorrow
Awwwww Murphy is SO CUTE as usual!!! Preciousness.
Oh man, I can’t decide between a Tiger Tail or a high density foam roller. Guess I have til the end of the week to decide!
There’s nothing better than coming home! Birthday cupcakes are acceptable for lunch when they are YOUR birthday cupcakes…especially because yours is still coming up!
That is such a great picture!! Murhpy makes me smile—he is just way too adorable for his own good.
Mmmm, peanut butter and banana sandwiches are the best! Last time I treated myself to one was last August, after I had hiked 3.1 miles up a mountain. I remember being in complete sweaty bliss while I sat on a rock getting sprayed by the waterfall and looking out across the Smoky Mountain range. Gorgeous memory!
wow…that cupcake looks so cute and delish!
