Monday was a good day for eats. I love that. Good food usually means happy me!

I tried out a new recipe – individual egg bake – and it was a success! I’ll be sharing the recipe soon.

And for another recipe success – a Meatless Monday lunch entree – whole wheat spaghetti with chick peas and tomatoes. Nom!

I whipped up some steel cut oats for an afternoon snack.

The cinnamon whipped honey made it a real treat and since I added a little…lightly sweet.

Plus, I now have a few servings for later!

Post-work, I went to Zumba and enjoyed a fun-filled workout.

And then I came home to a taco bar a la hubby – spelt tortillas (props to him for picking that out on his own!), tomatoes, lettuce, and grated cheddar.

Have I mentioned I love spelt? Oh yes, numerous times, right? ;) Well, spelt just seems more tender than whole wheat while still enjoying all the whole grain wonderfulness. I find most WW tortillas to be dry and brittle but these were smooth and didn’t crack a bit when I rolled them into soft tacos. Whole grain tortilla WIN!

Oh and Bailey says HIIIIIII!!!!!!!!

And check out the new nail polish I painted my nails. It’s The Chic Life blue! Ok, it’s actually called “Royal Mint”, and it’s by Aldo, but TCL blue sounds more fun. ;)

What nail polish color are you currently rocking?

And which of the meals posted in this post would you most like to eat? Nommmmm!

Everything looks delicious! I haven’t tried spelt anything yet because I can’t find it, but those tortillas look great! Lovin’ the nail color. I’m painting mine gold tonight!

no NP for me, but my favorite is ballet slippers from OPI. Or was it Essie? I don’t remember anymore.

I’ve never heard of spelt tortillas. Where do you get them?

We got ours at Earthfare, but most health food stores should have them – Whole Foods or your local health food store. They’re fab! :)

The nail polish I am currently rocking is very similar to that one! It’s Mint Candy Apple by Essie. I love it for spring!

Hey Girl!!
Those individual egg bakes look amazing!!! Can’t wait for the recipe :)

Right now I’m rocking Dim Sum Plum by OPI. I love OPI nail polish and my cousin gets me 40% off from her work discount! I’m obsessed with nail polish and have a huge Victoria Secret bagful.

Here’s the recipe! http://thechiclife.com/2011/04/individual-spinach-cheddar-egg-bake-recipe.html

That Dim Sum OPI color sounds fun…probably b/c I am slightly infatuated with dim sum…the food. hehe

All your eats look so fresh and delicious!

I just bought a new shirt the exact color of your nail polish! LOVE this color!

I very rarely paint my finger nails – mostly just my toes!

Love the idea of chickpeas and tomatoes on pasta – sounds delicious!

I love my Annie’s spelt pretzels, but I hadn’t seen the spelt tortillas! They sound like the perfect substitute – I rarely eat tacos or fajitas unless I have corn tortillas! Great find!

I LOVE that nail polish color! My go-to color is always pink, but I also love grays right now!
How do you like zumba? I haven’t tried it yet…but I’m curious!

I adore Zumba! It’s exercise in disguise. ;) Seriously…I feel like I’m having fun instead of feeling like I’m working out! You should try it sometime!

I’m wearing a similar polish myself right now except for Essie. It reminds me of an Easter egg. =)
