Umm…
Excuse me, sir, you know you’re not supposed to have that stuffed pug.
Murphy knew I was watching his every move, but he didn’t care. What a butthead.
Lunch
I had a few sushi rolls leftover from last night’s dinner, so I added them to a big salad for lunch today. I thought the rolls might taste funky sitting in the fridge overnight, but they didn’t at all.
Also in the mix: lettuce, celery, tomatoes, carrots, cucumbers, feta, and Goddess dressing.
After lunch, I whipped up a batch of chocolate “soft serve” using a frozen banana, 1/2 scoop of chocolate protein powder, and a splash of soy milk. Delish!
Coffee + Grinder Deal
Last month’s Caftea promo went so well, we decided to team up again. You know how I love all things pumpkin, so check what we came up with:
Carrots ‘N’ Cake Special Edition Pumpkin Spice Coffee!!! Cool, right!?
The coffee is whole bean, so to sweeten the deal, we’re throwing in a La Pavoni Mill Grinder, which you can get in black or white. (You can read more about the grinders here.)
So, for just $29, you get 8 ounces of special edition Pumpkin Spice Coffee and a La Pavoni Mill Grinder in black or white!! Sounds like a good deal to me!

STILL haven’t ever had sushi! Darnit I need to try so bad :/
Lol at Murphy – so cute!
Don’t ya’ just love it when they know they’re being bad, but choose to do it any way?! Mine does the same thing, he’ll grab my rolled up socks and toss them in the air then run away, as if he didn’t do it. But how can you be mad at them when they’re so darn cute!
Don’t you know it’s Murphy’s world, and you’re just allowed to live in it?
girl, my dogs do that stuff all.the.time. they’re seriously just like children!
OMG. Your dog is adorable! What kind of protein powder do you use? I can’t seem to find one that I like.
Dogs are too funny!!! Especially Murphy
I truly think Banana softserve is the perfect way to end every meal
That salad looks great. I love being creative with my leftovers!
That first photo is hilarious.
dogs are so funny. one time my 8 lb toy poodle tried to drag a piece of pizza off my plate!
Hey Tina, How do you make your soft serve? I’ve heard some people use a Vitamix, but I don’t have one. Will the blender work?
Haha such cute pictures of Murphy!! I looove sushi. Totally agree that it’s a little touch and go with it in the fridge overnight but glad to hear yours was good today too!
@thehipyogini: This one in mocha: http://carrotsncake.theopenskyproject.com/optimum-nutrition-gold-standard-100-whey.html
@Annie: A blender or food processor should work. Just make sure you slice up the frozen banana first.
Murphy is too cute. Reminds me of my daughter. She is almost 2 and will just look at me and do exactly what I said not to. But I still can’t help but laugh and think she is adorable.
The salad looks good, but dang…I need some of that soft serve about right now!
Haha Murphy really is a big butt head!
Yum. Me wantie that coffee! Maybe I’ll treat myself to some next month.
Murphy is hilarious! My 2 year old niece acts like that too — she knows she is doing something naughty but will do it anyway and then she’ll give you this smile and say with her eyes “what are you going to do about it? I’m too cute!”
OMG Murphy cracks me UP.
I’ve got to get on this protein ice cream trend!
I had the protein powder to my soft serve also, it makes it more FLUFFY.
Oh wow. The two best things in the world, combined. Balllller. I WILL be ordering this!!!
His little attitude kills me. Haha. Too cute!
Murphy is SMART…He knows you will take a picture BEFORE punishing him and taking the toy away. He has a few minutes to enjoy it. Ha Ha You go Murphy!!
I love that you called your dog a butthead. I haven’t heard that word in a long time
That coffee looks so awesome!
Dogs are too funny! They know right from wrong but just don’t care. Gotta love em.
Ha!!! I hate it when my dogs do that!! Our little terrier will just STARE at me when he does something that’s pissing me off. In the winter, he has been known to take a poop right in front of me, while looking at me with this look like, “What are you gonna do about it?”
Murphy is so freakin’ cute. My husband and I are getting a pug as soon as we move. Love!
Our cats always climb on the table while we’re eating. I mean, they know we’re just going to yell at them, right? Crazy pets!
I never take leftover sushi home because I’m afraid it will go bad, but I’m glad to know it stayed fresh!
Haha my dog does things like that all the time..hard to get mad when they’re so cute though!
Have you ever been to Genki Ya (http://genkiyabrookline.com/) in Brookline for sushi? It’s mostly organic and you can even get brown rice sushi! I would recommend trying it
Hey Tina,
I’ve never bought whole bean coffee before. Do you know about how many cups of coffee 8 ounces would make?
@Tina: awesome, thanks–and i love mocha anything!
awhhhhhhhh murph!!!! so cute! by the way, im hosting a chobani giveaway if you’re interested!! i know you love greek and it’s awesome!!
@Annie: yup, the blender works juuuust fine
Any way to get just the coffee? I already have a coffee bean grinder (because I have a coffee addiction) but I would LOVE to try some pumpkin spice coffee! Especially because the S’more was so good!
Cute doggie! mmm, coffee.
my husband used to work for aardman animation (the company that does “wallace and gromit”) and had one of the claymation artists do a sculpture of my dog. for some reason he is OBSESSED with it – i think he knows it’s his “baby!”
Hahaha ohh I love Murphy
Ummmm, Murphy is AMAZINGLY adorable! Your soft-serve looks so delicious, and I’ve been meaning to try it for a while but my food processor is broken. Can I use a blender, or will it not turn out the same?
Haha. Murphy is too cute.
That soft-serve looks so good.
@Emily: I have no idea! A lot!
Murphy…..so bad it’s good!
hahaha Murphy knows he’s way to cute for you to be mad at him!
I love the idea of sushi rolls in a salad. You could ever use Bragg’s liquid aminos for a dressing (I love it as a low sodium version of soy sauce)!
Haha, Murphy totally knows what he’s doing…he must be entering his adolescent years.
Your salad looks really delicious, but I’m not a big sushi fan so I’d probably sub with some beans or bean burgers. Your naughty little Murphy was enjoying himself, wasn’t he? BTW – I love the color of your walls…beautiful!
@Anna @ Newlywed, Newly Veg: Well, I guess we all know who the boss is in your house. But ya gotta love em.
That first photo is priceless. Isn’t Murphy well into his teen years now? If so, he’s probably just fulfilling his adolescent duty to be rebellious.
That is so funny……lol “um excuse me sir”……….lol when i read that and then seen the picture i almost spit water everywhere………..LOL!
haha naughty Murphy indeed!!!!
