I had grapes for my afternoon snack.
I went and got a latte for lunch, because I wanted to meet up with my husband for a little bit and my lunch seemed to be lacking in the protein department. The milk in the latte sounded like a nice addition.
I packed a nice salad and a serving of soy crisps for lunch. I added dried cherries and almonds to all the veggies in the salad. I really love the flavor and the texture.
Close up...
Around 3pm I ate my fuji apple.
My husband wanted to go to the gym before going to his MBA class, so around 4pm I took a break and ran 20 minutes on the treadmill.
On the way back to the office I grabbed Pita Pit with Steve, because he needed a grab and go dinner before class. I had the falafel with almost every veggie they offer on a whole wheat pita with honey mustard. We bought a ton of gift certificates during a 1/2 price promotion a radio station here was doing for Pita Pit, so we may need to eat Pita Pit at least once every 2 weeks to use these up.
I got home around 6:30 and decided I had time before my 8pm Pilates class to make Tina's Chocolate Pumpkin Loaf. I made a few minor alterations. I used 1/2 cup brown sugar instead of 3/4, I used 1 1/4 cup of whole wheat pastry flour instead of the flour combo that Tina used, I also only used 1/2 cup of chocolate chips. Also both my cocoa powder and chocolate chips were dark chocolate, so this Loaf was very rich, but so wonderful. My husband couldn't believe I cut back on the chocolate chips. If I bake something when he is home he takes care of adding the chocolate chips or m&m's and basically adds double what is called for! He still loved the bread!
I had a slice when I got home from Pilates, and it was such a great recipe. I really love all of the creative baked goods that Tina comes up with. I was so happy that I had all the ingredients for this loaf and was able to make it last night!

Question for you:
Can you find Chobani yogurt anywhere in Pgh?? We have it everywhere in Virginia and my mom is DYING for some, but can't seem to find it.
Jess - I randomly found some at Penn Mac in the strip! I don't remember if they had every kind, but I bought a few to try. That is the only place I have seen it so far.
What fabulously healthy food you eat! Even the chocolate cake is a chocolate and pumpkin cake :o It looks so darkly gorgeous, I should really try that recipe :)
