What a great afternoon I’ve had! This morning not too long after I ate my breakfast, I went on a lovely 45 minute power walk/run near a local park while listening to music, and taking in all of this beautiful scenery and glorious weather. It definitely got my day off to a great start. I felt so revitalized and refreshed upon returning home.

Not too long after, I decided to go into the city to pick up a quick bite at my favorite restaurant (I don’t even have to mention the name anymore!) I ordered the Smoked Tempeh & Grilled Vegetable Sandwich which is described on the menu as grilled tempeh, zucchini, roasted red pepper, arugula, and sundried tomato pesto on mixed grain bread with basil aioli and a potato salad. I had ordered this sandwich about a month ago, but at the time, I had subbed the tempeh for tofu. I tried the sandwich in it’s true form today, and absolutely loved it! And the potato salad is seriously out of this world.. so, so addictive.

I couldn’t resist but get another Tasti D-Lite after my lunch today. I had a very difficult time choosing just one flavor, so instead I decided to get a “half and half” cone.. 1/2 Banana and 1/2 Dutch Chocolate. For starters, I couldn’t believe how HUGE my cone was! If this is the small, I can’t even begin to imagine how the large must look like! Flavorwise, this combo was most definitely a hit! I couldn’t believe how intense the banana flavor was. It really packed a punch! It paired perfectly with the chocolate, which needless to say, was terrific as well. Tasti D-Lite has officially stolen my heart (and my wallet!)

Tonight I was invited to yet another party, and this time I can’t turn it down. Therefore, I wont be able to post for the remainder of the day, unfortunately! I’ll probably just pick up something fast for dinner like a slice of veggie pizza, an avocado roll, or a subway sandwich. Enjoy the rest of the day everybody.. see you all bright and early!

Update on the NE Bloggers’ Dinner: How does Saturday, September 6th sound? For all who are still interested in joining Kristin and I, leave me a shout to say if it’s a convenient date for you.. I’d like to finalize things asap. I’m really looking forward to meeting you all!
