This may possibly be one of my all time favorites. It is nothing too crazy just some vegetables and tofu, and sour cream of course!
When Moes closed down near my house last year, I was heartbroken. Not only was it conveniently located five minutes from where I lived, it was a great go-to. Not too expensive, and it comes with homemade chips.
It has taken me awhile to perfect my Moes burrito. I don't add rice or beans, just simply sauteed mushrooms, onions, and peppers. Along with cheese, sour cream and shredded lettuce not to forget about the tofu. Chicken is too dry for my liking.
When I realized that Moes was in Penn Station, I couldn't contain my excitement. For $6.00, I get to have my burrito, chips and a drink. I don't usually get the beverage since all I stick to is water and decaffeinated tea. But hey, you don't hear me complaining!

This is perfection right here. Sweet potato rolls and a side of spicy mayo. Not only are sweet potatoes one of the most nutritious vegetables in the produce department, they make a great healthy alternative to fish! The spicy mayo adds a creamy kick that every sushi needs. Fresh from the Japanese restaurant, I couldn't be more excited about this lunch.

I was so excited when I walked into the office at work today and found these. One of the girls went away to Tokyo for a week (How cool is that!?) and brought back some goodies. She described the one on top as a twinkie fill with banana cream (yum!) The bottom one is a green tea Kit Kat. I was super excited to try the bottom one since green tea is one of my favorite drinks. The Kit Kat reminded me of white chocolate, but it was delicious. I haven't tried the top yet and I can't wait to see what's in store!

Throughout all my years in cooking, I have never owned a spatula. Crazy I know! When I read about the GIR spatula, I knew that I had to jump on board.
One thing I love about kitchen gadgets is that they are available in a multitude of colors. I like vibrant, colorful items to make the cooking experience that much more enjoyable.
I love the GIR spatula not just because the many different colors that are offered, but because it is great to cook with, heat resistant, and eco-friendly!

Literally all I drink nowadays is tea. No more coffee, juice, or milk (not that I drink much of that anyway), even though I do miss the jolt of energy I get from coffee. And not just any tea, but herbal (for the most part). I love the taste of all the different flavors and how it soothes my throat.

 My tea of choice has been Celestial tea. They are 100% natural and come in a variety of flavors. My favorite is the tangerine orange, but they are all vibrant in flavor. The tea I drink is always decaf. Something that I have learned recently is that herbal tea is fully decaffeinated while other decaf teas leave traces of caffeine. What is different about Celestial tea is that they have no string and no tags.
 
Although this may seem strange, Celestial tea is doing their part in helping the environment. This saves over 3 1/2 million pounds of waste from filling landfills each year! Just be careful of burning your fingers!
