No rest for the weary. I was up early (ok, early for me, but not early for most) this morning.
I made a quick breakfast of Fresh Market Spring Blend coffee and quasi-Power Toast – Great Harvest Dakota bread with Barney Butter and chia seeds.
Then, I headed out for a super secret mission. I can’t talk about it. Not yet and possibly not ever. But I really hope I get to one day. 
Afterward, I hit up one of my fave local restaurants – Real Food Charlotte – for some great vegetarian eats.
I decided to get my food to go and headed home. I really wanted to eat my food on our patio. We don’t have any patio furniture, but I decided to eat outside anyways. This patio is one of the bigger reasons we bought the house we did and I hope to use it a lot when the weather is nice.
Hubby brought Bailey outside to join me.
I got something I’ve been eyeing on their menu for awhile – the veggie quinoa burger. It was even baked, not fried, so extra healthy.
The burger came with a side salad. I love the salads they make here – such a fun combination of flavors and textures with delicate greens, crunchy nuts, fresh veggies, and sweet fruits – all with a light vinaigrette. So fresh and yummy!
The veggie quinoa burger was really really good. I know I should have just eaten the spelt veggie burgers I made yesterday, but this place won’t be open tomorrow and my spelt burgers will be waiting for me in the fridge.
I had Bailey’s full attention since I was holding food.
The weather outside was amazing, which was great because I had a performance later! And yes, I have lots of photos to share! Post going up later today.
I have some php files to read!
Thanks to my secret project this morning, I’m not doing so hot on Project Hydrate today. 
I should have just taken a water bottle with me, but alas…I did not.
Have a workout today? Need a good snack idea? Try this (click). Yum!

the burger looks sooooo very good! you have great arm muscles
Thank you Andrea!
That burger looks amazing! Love the pics in the sunshine
Thanks Lauren
your hair looks so cute all curly
i hadn’t seen it like that before!
Wow – looks like your eats and your weather were pretty perfect this day! That burger looks heavenly, and I would love it if Barney Butter decided to ship to the UK (she says, feeling a little guilty for the environmental footprint that might entail!).
& I agree with Sarah above – your hair looks good curly too
Yes, they both seemed perfect!
I didn’t realize Barney Butter didn’t ship to the UK! What about some of the Amazon shippers? I know you can order some from there and I wonder if they would have different shipping policies?
Thanks for the compliment! Have a wonderful weekend!
