Now that summertime is almost here and spring has most certainly sprung, I can’t stop eating them.  On everything.  Sweet mixes, savory omlettes, wrapped in Swiss chard or collard greens…I’m addicted and proud of it.  That is eggwhites on an Udi’s gluten-free bagel (which, I gotta be honest with you, might be just the best tasting bagel I’ve ever had.  When toasted, it’s got a crunch to it but it’s still thick.  I LOVE them.)

I’ve also been eating grapefruits like they’ll go out of style or become extinct or something.  That tang from the citrus is unbelievable.  Sometimes they can be a bit too tart, so I’ve been taking to topping them with just a sprinkle of stevia from a packet.

 That was the other part of my breakfast that day…I put some of the egg whites in another bowl and topped them with salsa.  I told you I’m addicted to eggs.

I’ve been taking to drizzling tahini on top of my sweet potatoes like HEAB, but sometimes just that alone can be a bit much for my taste buds.  I buy tahini made from roasted sesame seeds and the taste is VERY chalky if you just eat it by itself.  That is nothing, however, a little bit of agave and coconut oil can’t fix!

I’ve actually eaten sweet potatoes or potatoes 4 times this week.  Also I just went to Trader Joe’s yesterday and as well as stocked up on my favorite sunflower seed butter (which I’m currently enjoying slathered on top of half an Udi’s bagel!), I bought a bag of their small sweet potatoes.  One of those bad boys has 100 calories…so obviously I’ll be eating two tonight with my dinner.  Just sayin’.

I have issues.

But then again, you knew this.

PS.  Thanks for your advice on my lunchtime situation.  I’ve been just getting up a SMIDGE earlier and putting together a simple wrap and granola bar/yogurt lunch now, and it’s worked wonders.  My energy level is much better.  Although this Wednesday at work I got a Starbucks Strawberry Vivanno Smoothie and granola bar for my lunch, and the crash was so intense I swore I’d never do it again.  We shall see.
