Lemon Pepper Tilapia + a night o’ rain
26 Sep
I hope I didn’t scare anyone off with my revised Call for Submissions. I know this is probably a bad time of year to ask – as school started up for most of us – but I’m really hoping you all will still want to participate! I’m really looking forward to your submissions, so please send away - seriously, even if it’s one word – that’s ok! (Beyond wanting to give two of you a copy of my book, I’m also doing this for a grade so… there’s that guilt factor in there too. Had to throw that in. Hope you understand!)
———————————————————————————
This evening was kind of blah due to the rain. I had a LONG commute home – took me almost an hour in the traffic. But I came home to a fantastic surprise in the mail!
How cute is this apron? And I love the spatula! I only have one like this for oatmeal, so this will certainly come in handy. Thanks, Foodbuzz! This paired with my latest issue of Cooking Light made that long commute all worth it.
I was starving when I got home, so we quickly made dinner – Lemon Pepper Tilapia with whole wheat pasta and asparagus.
Nice little quickie meal. Much enjoyed!
BACKTRACKING - welcome to my day o’ eats
Snack - around 11 a.m.
Lunch – around 12:30 p.m.
This was a whole wheat sandwich + turkey + spinach + a slice of munster cheese and some humus. Can I even begin to say how good this was? The only bad part was that I think Bill bought some spicy deli meat. It had some kick to it, and I really had to chug some H2O pronto.
Snack – around 4 p.m.
And you know why I thought I was going to starve? Because I went to the gym at work today and ended up running 3 miles on the indoor track! It was unbelievable! I had just planned on doing some walking, but I got bored and picked up the pace. I ended up doing 30 laps on the 1/10 mile per lap track. I was definitely a little sweaty when I got back to the office – good thing I only had an hour left of work! I have never been so happy with my workout routine. I love midday workouts!
But… it did leave me starving. I found a secret stash of Hullaballoo trail mix I forgot I had!
SLIGHT PAUSE TO SAY: OMG! JIM AND PAM! ON THE OFFICE RIGHT NOW! WON"T SPOIL THE SURPRISE BUT OMG!
Ok, so I am assuming that everyone else in the blogworld is either watching Grey’s Anatomy or The Office right now – my Google Reader is empty! I am watching through the bookcase while I type. I’m also eating this:
…about 6 ounces… of light ice cream… And I’m feeling stuffed… yowza! Time to relax 
Hola Rose!
I was watching that same exact Office part while posting, too!
Your post it about the yogurt made me laugh. I always think I am going to starve if I don’t have enough food with me. I get nervous and then realize I can go buy more or get more. So silly.
I will really try to think of something for your school project. Promise.
I love the post-it note facts!! Such a cute idea.
Question – are the clif peanut toffee buzz bars good? I REALLY want to try them, but they don’t sell them around here, so I was thinking about buying a box online… but I wanted someone else’s opinion first. 
Haha oh my, I can’t even WAIT until I get that package from Foodbuzz! I keep seeing them around and they are just so cute!
I had tilapia for dinner tonight, too! Yours looks way better though – mine was microwaveable
)
I definitely caught Grey’s Anatomy. I haven’t watched the Office but I bought Bobby the first four seasons for his birthday so we will catch up soon!
No worries, I will totally still participate in your call for submissions! I just need to find the right time to write it

Have a great night, Rose!!
I KNOW! I freaked out when I saw that part of the office. I was like jumping up and down on my couch. lol
Loving your sandwich. Look great!
ah, how nice of foodbuzz!!!
and what did you think of hte pb toffee bar? i saw it, but was afraid to try it because i know how sweet toffee is…:P
and seriously, i love your post its. such a great idea!
i haven’t had time to watch the office in forever. i used to watch every show when i came out. email me what happened! i’d still like to know even tho i’m not following the show anymore! i need to get back into it! haha
the light ice cream in the cup looks very good.. what kind do you buy!
I LOVE the Office! It was sooooo good last night!
SQUEE! who knew a gas station in the rain could be so romantic? …and so classically “JAM”
LOVED The Office last night! So glad it’s back! And that tilapia dinner looks great!
Yep, lovin The Office too!
