Check out my progress on Just the Two of Us
This afternoon, my mom left for a trip to Chicago. Accordingly, it’s just the two of at home now–my dad and me. My dear dad is the only one in the family who appreciates who appreciates good food almost as much as I do: we frolic through Whole Foods together, exchange recipes via e-mail, and engage in other such foodie activities. Today, for example, he picked out a cornbread recipe for me to make (from the Birmingham News), and then we visited my favorite little health food store.
The olive cornbread:
fresh from the oven
ready for the photo shoot
The health food:
a load of entirely non-essential items
the newest additions to my bar stockpile; never before tried any of these
You KNOW these will be put to good use:)
At last, I have found unsweetened hemp milk and flavored agave nectar! Plus, a new Annie's dressing.
Have I mentioned my mild addiction to coconut?
All set for vegan baking.
A few items to sample
I am sure the weekend will bring even more father-daughter bonding:) What are you up to this weekend?
Onto the eats:
Wednesday
choco-straw-nana shake with soymilk, chocolate HempShake, Choco Cherry Treat granola, & chocolate syrup
Thursday
I’ve made this Better Bunny Salad from Rudi’s several times but never once used consumed it with a Rudi‘s product. Not so sure how they’d feel about that…it made for the perfect combo with this Ezekiel bread though! Gotta love those walnuts too.
Lunch: my old stand-by.
Tofu Scramble Wrap; salad with steamed veggies & Annie's Gingerly Vinaigrette; orange
the usual overflow
gettin' my color on with spinach and red onion
Snackage:
all jazzed up with flax & pumpkin
This variety did not have such a noticeable “protein” taste–it was quite delicious when mixed with the pumpkin.
After the health food store, my dad and I headed to my sister’s house on the other side of town. I got in some good pug lovin’ and Office-watching. By the time we returned home, I was more than ready for some fuel. What would I do without Annie‘s dressings?
Goddess Garbanzos atop a bed of greens; flax crackers; blackberries
I received my winnings from Dulcie‘s Holey Donuts giveaway today:
goods from the FedEx Fairy
From left: Coconut Creme Pie, Banana Cream Oreo, Raspberry Graham Cracker
From left: Vanilla Coconut, Toasted Coconut, Low Fat Cinnamon Streudel
more Cinnamon Streudel
Top: Fudge Crumb Boston Creme; Bottom: Vanilla Frosted Boston Creme (minus one--my mom made sure they weren't poisonous for me)
Which flavor should I try first??
Good night, all!

Corn bread and doughnuts… too good to be true.
ahhhhh this post is overflowing with goodness and deliciousness! i love that your dad is a foodie; my dad is the same way! my mom thinks cooking is looking at a take-out menu, haha!
enjoy those donuts, i’d probably drive over to durham and ask you for one if you were still in the area! haha xoxo!
Try the banana creme oreo! That just got my eyes boggling. How cool! But all those donuts sound amazing. Actually, I would be having little bites of every one of them! hee hee!

DONUTS!! they look sooo good!
OH my heavens! You said you love the coconut…TOASTED COCONUT!!!
It’s supposed to be in the 80′s here this weekend, so we are headed outdoors for sure. I hope you get great weather for your race!
The chocolate pretzel Kashi bar gets two MAJOR thumbs up from me!! My Holey Donuts came yesterday as well!! I’m so excited to crack into them! Did yours say what flavors they were because I couldn’t find a flavor list anywhere in my box so it’s a guessing game
Enjoy your daddy-daughter time!!
look at all those donuts! holy cow!!! tasty! excited to see your reviews!!!
i loved hearing about your close relationship with your father…..cuz I’m the same way with my Daddy!!! he isn’t so much a foodie……but we still love going to WF together!!!
HAPPY WEEKEND MISS C!
I received those donuts the other day too! I was so overwhelmed!!!
I find it a little bit too sweet for my taste though but loved it anyway, and knowing they’re so much healthy than standard one made me enjoy it more!
that cornbread looks delicious~~~ can i have some?
I LOVE quality Dad time!!
Yum, those donuts look incredible!! I’d be all over the cinnamon one
Great cornbread – YUM! I had Holey Donuts yesterday too! I think you should start with the lowfat cinnamon stredsel my favorite!
Love that Annie’s dressing too.
Wicked jealous of your donuts! They look amazing.
Just catching up with your posts and I was reading your review of Rachel’s cottage cheeses and thinking that I thought the exact same things when I tried them! I really liked the sweet ones for a filling snack, and the savory ones were great toppings for salads and baked sweet potatoes. I hope they go on sale often.
I recently got some holey doughnuts. They were pretty good. I haven’t tried all the flavors yet but my favorite so far was the coconut. I also liked the lemon filled one but it doesn’t look like you guys got that flavor. Enjoy! Give us a review when you try them!
