Today’s lunch included a little bit of this and a little bit of that. I had some crazy cravings for a bunch of different foods, so I just went with it. I had a fried egg, kiwi, apple & sweet potato yogurt, spinach with olive oil and Garlic Gold, and chocolate chip cookies. Random, right?
My lunch was definitely a random mix of foods, but it satisfied me on a number of levels.
A little while later, I enjoyed a Carrot Cake Larabar. Holy delicious! I can’t believe that forgot I had this flavor in the pantry!

Haha, I sometimes get random cravings too. Having 8 different things on one plate turns out surprisingly satisfying.

I love tasting plates! A little of everything is my favorite.
7 Hopes United looks like a great store!
I always get the most random cravings too! I totally gross people out with the combinations of food that I eat- recently it was tacos and cereal. The expression of disgust on my grandpa’s face was priceless. Love the cute little pumpkin on your placemat
Thanks for sharing about Seven Hopes United – they have so many cute things, and buying them supports an amazing cause- even better!
Hi Tina, Just saw the article in Marie Claire and I must say that I have to wonder if the author has ever even looked at your blog! The content was totally off base and I’m shocked to see a national magazine put down a bona fide, modern day source of communication.
I am a transplanted Bostonian living in Florida, 50+-advanced degree, earning well and I am very much into food and fitness. I love your blog and read it daily! I admire you and the many other young women who a blazing a path in this genre! Keep up the great work! And don’t sweat the haters. I predict blogs will far out line Marie Claire magazine.
That is a random combo! But whatever works
!
What cute things Seven Hopes United has. And I still can’t find the Carrot Cake Larabar anywhere.
Random lunches are so much fun
Sometimes random meals are the tastiest! I would have plopped that egg right on top of the spinach
Sometimes I love a huge spread of foods too.yours looks yummy!
