These aren’t the healthiest snacks, but I figured that getting one mini pork pie wouldn’t be too bad for me. They’re actually really tasty, and the pastry shell is definitely buttery and rich.

Crab cake – Whole Foods

Project 365: Day 34

Woke up and got ready for the gym early today since I had to stop by Whole Foods for lunch and dinner food and cook it before leaving for work. Got in a very good workout and I tried to buy healthier options at the grocery store.

I ended up roasting some vegetables (broccoli, brussels sprouts, eggplant, garlic) and baking some homemade chicken strips.  I used some organic bread crumbs, flour, cornmeal, and threw in a bunch of herbs and spices that I thought would taste good. I used very little salt and oil for both items.  I also bought a couple of crab cakes at the seafood counter because they were on sale.

Codes is also flying back home today. It was great seeing him but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t also happy to be getting my bed back, lol!

I was surprised by the amount of crab inside! Most grocery store crab cakes usually skimp of the actual crab. These were also super moist!

Random grocery store dinner – Safeway

Sometimes I’m so tired from a full day of work followed by a gym workout, that I really don’t want to cook or even go to a restaurant for food. That’s when I swing by Safeway on my way home and grab some cheap and “somewhat” tasty food items. It’s not the best, but it hits the spot and doesn’t break the bank!

Rock 'n roll sushi Safeway

Rock ‘n roll sushi. The sushi at Safeway isn’t of very good quality, but it’s passable. Just douse it in more soy sauce and it’ll go down fairly easily, lol!
