We Have A Visitor!

Mama’s here!

I picked Mom up from the airport yesterday and have never laughed so hard all day long.  This will be a fun 3 months. J  We ran around doing errands and getting her settled into her new abode.

Lobsta Truck was closed when we got there! 

So we improvised: 

Auntie’s Fry Bread.  Little rounds of fried dough topped with various deliciousness – we rolled with the veggie (so as to pretend we were being healthy).  Black beans, corn, squash, tomatoes and lettuce.  Don’t mind my dessert slider with honey and sugar haha.

I hopped back on the healthy wagon for breakfast this morning:  

Steel cut oatmeal with banana, walnuts, raisins and cinnamon + red raspberry leaf tea.   Lunch is packed and ready to go:

Leftover brussel sprouts and a wrap with lettuce/tomato/cucumber/avocado/veganaise/nutritional yeast + a lara bar, some trail mix and an orange for snackage.  I think I'll stop by the WF juice bar this morning too....I feel a scratchy throat coming on. 

I’m off to work for the day while Mom explores her surroundings.  I can’t believe this week is almost over already!

Pancake Tacos

Morning friends! It’s a little dreary over here and I actually didn't have to set an alarm this morning…so I slept in and did brunch instead of breakfast.  J My sleeping in *may* have had something to do with a certain baby keeping me up from 4-5am kicking and streeeeetching.  Weirdest. Feeling. Ever.  I could feel the baby’s feet on one side and head on the other and it just kept pushing out in both directions.  I'll be curious to see if this baby is equally as energetic on the outside!

Last night after work, I went out with two lovely ladies for a snack.  One of them, Frances, has a blog where she reviews food trucks here in LA.  She’s a total foodie and I love it.  Last night, she was talking about a particular truck called Egg Slut and their delicious Pancake Tacos.  You know when the syrup from your pancakes hits your scrambled eggs and it’s delicious?  Ummm, yes please.    I decided to make my own (slightly healthier) version this morning.  I used Fitnessista’s Protein Pancakes, whipped up 2 scrambled eggs, crisped some Morning Star vegan bacon (aka facon) and drizzled everything with a little maple syrup.  Consume in taco form.

UHmazing.  If you want the real version or any one of Egg Slut’s other delicious creations, you can find out where they’ll be here.

LA residents: do you have a favorite food truck?  They are becoming really popular.  Here are some good ones:

Lobsta Truck

Juice on the Loose

Great Balls on Tires

Green Truck

Non-LA Residents: what is your favorite brunch food?  This one might become a regular in the Anderson house.

Hope you guys have a terrific Tuesday!  My Mom flies in tomorrow and she’ll be here for 3 months!! J  <3 Shaina
