Whole Foods Haul and a Birthday Meal

Hey you guys! I'm sorry it has been a little while but last weekend was absolutely crazy. I actually meant to post this yesterday but by the time I finished running around I was exhausted and couldn't be bothered to get my computer out. I worked on Saturday and then directly after work I joined my mom to watch Delilah and the fur babies overnight. About an hour and a half after they came home we all met up at an AMAZING Turkish Restaurant for my Dad's birthday dinner. We have done every birthday at this restaurant this year… it is so good. I have a picture of that dinner I'll include for you at the end of the haul. Anyway, yesterday I went to Whole Foods at the crack of dawn and picked up a lot of great stuff which I can't wait to share! This was followed by a trip to the gym and a marathon meal prep session and then a collapse, ha!

Anyway, enough of my yapping here is the haul!!


First up we have some organic strawberries, spring mix salad and a 5 lb bag of potatoes because I've been obsessed with oil free oven fries lately.


Some more produce includes a head of romaine, a ton of organic loose carrots, a few heads of broccoli, some peaches and some frozen corn and peas.


I got a few grocery items including lentils, sprouted grain cereal, oil free vegan caesar and balsamic dressings, sprouted grain tortillas, That's It bars in strawberry, cherry and mango, long grain brown rice and some kamut puffs to mix with the sprouted grain flakes.


This was my AMAZING meal at the Turkish restaurant. This is the falafel appetizer which is basically the perfect meal to me. It had some greens in the top left corner which I added a little Shepherd's salad to, some of the best falafel I've ever eaten, really great tahini sauce and some hummus. This was amazing and I gave my leftovers to my mom to bring to work for lunch the next day and she agreed that it was delicious.


Finally I have my planner spread for this week. This may be my favorite week yet, it is so gorgeous! I love looking at it, ha! 

That's all for today! I have a bunch of meals photographed that I'll post later in the week and I'm hoping to do another full day of eating post later in the week as well. I hope you are all having a great week!

  1. Yum! It's been a few weeks since I've had a falafel & hummus fix! My favorite Middle Eastern place is right behind my house, and I don't get there often enough. I need to do that soon!

  3. Great haul! Potato fries are seriously addictive! No joke, if I go a couple of days without eating them, I get serious cravings. They're just so satisfying, and I just feel good after eating them.
    Your dinner looks so delicious, I'm seriously drooling. Falafel is seriously one of my favorite foods!
    Love the planner! Good job on the gym, I've been sticking to my fitness regime too! Woot Woot!
