[125] Veggies all wrapped up

Since moving back home, my mom has been real helpful in making sure the refrigerator is stocked with fresh veggies knowing I don't particularly like to eat frozen or microwaved foods as much as I used to. She has me tag along for trips to the grocery store so I can pick out what I like to eat.

Every base I've lived at/near has always had a great selection of produce. I'm not huge fruit person, so I opt for more veggies than anything else, but I do enjoy an apple or orange from time to time. On one of our last trips I picked up a lot of veggies that are easy to prepare for wraps, as well as a jar of apple sauce to enjoy on the side. Beats eating french fries (my weakness!) with every meal.

Picture below: spinach, sauteed zucchini, tomatoes, red onions, and avocados topped with shredded cheddar and sour cream on a tomato and basil tortilla. It was so good, I actually ate this two days in a row, mostly because I prepared way too many veggies for one sitting.

The beverage pictured below is V8 Fusion pomegranate blueberry. Currently my favorite morning and mid-day beverage, although a little on the sugary side. Pretty delicious when watered down.

That bowl contains about 1 serving of Mott's Natural Apple Sauce. It is prepared unsweetened and contains only half the sugar in a serving of their original apple sauce.

[123] Oh my hashbrowns

Have you ever woken up and asked yourself, "Did that really happen?"

No? Well then... Me either... *cough*

During my last couple of weeks in MA, I made it a point to get in as much hangout time with my friends before I had to say my see-you-later's. After a couple of late nights at the bar, we ended up at this place called the Golden Greek Restaurant. Amazing eggs and potatoes! I made the mistake of (drunkenly) ordering two eggs and hash. My friends voice still echoes in my head, "Jasmine... that's meat. You don't eat meat!" No worries, everyone. I gave them to the guy sitting next to me. Haha! The next few times I dined there I ordered one egg which comes with a side of potatoes and toast. Yumm! Seriously some of the best potatoes I've had. So good, in fact, that I started eating the potatoes off my friends plates. Yes, I'm that girl.

Now to the point of my post. Have you seen IHOP's hashbrown stacks?! I tried their spinach and mushroom hashbrown stack while out at breakfast with my lady friends. Normally I stay clear of mushrooms, as a high amount of them can cause my eczema to go crazy. But for the sake of not altering the dish, I stuck with it. I'm glad I did. I forgot how much I enjoy mushrooms!

This is pretty much what mine looked like. Before I ordered, I had contemplated ordering an extra side of hash browns, but I went against it and ordered fresh fruit instead. Glad I did! They really piled on the hash browns when they served me my dish. I was very pleased! This girl loves her potatoes. The fresh fruit was a great way to end my meal. If you haven't tried this amazing dish, I suggest you do, and soon! If I read correctly, they're only serving this until February 19th. Get to IHOP!
