Is it any shocker that today’s lunch included carrot slices?
Carrot + Cuc + Tomato
Since I had a carrot the size of a toddler chillin’ in my fridge, I knew I better start eating that bad boy since it will likely take me five years to get through the whole thing.
I enjoyed the sliced carrot with cucumber and grape tomatoes alongside a fakie-bacon and cheese sandwich, made with two Morningstar Farms veggie bacon strips.

For a lil’ sweetness, I also included a cup o’ Motts natural apple sauce which brought me back to childhood.

The Full Spread
Speaking of childhood, I was am a huge fan of Saved by the Bell and read in a magazine this morning that today is Jessie Spano‘s birthday and she is now 38 years old.
Jessie Spano
This clearly must be false. She is only 28. Time does not fly that fast!
Anyway, happy birthday Jessie! I’m so excited, I’m so excited, I’m so… scared for you. 😉 (Seriously, who gets that loony on caffeine pills?)

Gourmet Nutrition Book Giveaway
A giveaway two days in a row? What is this?
When Jessica, the wonderful woman behind the new blog Give Away One Thing A Day, contacted me about hosting a giveaway on my blog I was immediately intrigued by the unique concept behind her blog. Jessica started her blog in an effort to bring more positivity into her life and focus on doing something good for others.
When someone wins a giveaway offered through Jessica, they are asked to “pay it forward” by giving away an item of their own and sharing their story with Jessica. (Just FYI, you do not have to have a blog to enter this giveaway. If you win, you may giveaway something to someone you know and simply tell Jessica about it.)
Jessica is offering one reader a copy of Gourmet Nutrition, a cookbook for “the Fit Food Lover.”
Gourmet Nutrition Cookbook
According to the book’s website, “We’ve taken the healthiest ingredients and whipped them into nearly 300 pages of delicious culinary creations that you can serve with confidence to the most discerning foodie – or the most nitpicky nutritionist. We’ve included detailed cooking instructions and ideas for improvisation. And we’ve even photographed every recipe in beautiful color to show you just how appetizing healthy food can be.”
To enter this giveaway, simply comment on this post below.
Jessica will randomly select a winner tomorrow, so be sure to check her blog to see if you won! I will also post a link to Jessica’s announcement of the winner once Jessica has randomly selected someone.
Good luck you foodie lovers, you!

Awesome Giveaway!
Something sports and food related in one book? Count me in!
I loved Saved by the Bell too! But really, who didn’t? 🙂
What a neat idea for a site!
I love the concept of her blog!
I remember being so excited for my Dad to pick us up from school….because that meant that I could watch Saved by the Bell!
I’m still in denial that Jessie Spano is 38 years old! Good grief.
I would love to win that book! I cook healthy things I see on blogs but I don’t have a cookbook!
that book looks great! I would be so exciiiiited to win! (and not at all scared 🙂 !!)
this book sounds awesome!
this is such a neat concept!
i’m getting married in two weeks and we’ve asked for tons of cookbooks. this would be a perfect addition!!!
So fun…pick me! 🙂 That looks like an awesome cookbook! Great giveaway!
Healthy recipes?! Count me in! 😀
It’s my Mom’s birthday soon. I would love to win for her.
ash – wow. time really does fly. i remember watching that as a kid. as for healthy recipes? yum! i could use some new ones for when i go back to college. it’s easy to eat healthy at home but hard when you’re in a little town that doesn’t do farmer markets and only one type of grocery store (i miss having a variety!)
I love your blog! It inspires me so much to begin one myself. My main passion in life is clean eating and daily fitness, challenging myself everyday. I’ve been struggling with gastritis and IBS and I’m finally getting to a good place. All I do at work all day long is read all these amazing blogs!
I’d love this book!
I’m in “need” of a new cookbook- would perfectly fulfill me :0)
I never watched Saved by the Bell–Id much rather spend my time cooking up delicious healthy recipes like the ones in that cookbook! ;).
veggie bacon is so yum! try the sausage patties too! they’re my favorite for making breakfast sandwiches!
I would love to win that cook book. What a great giveaway!
The book sounds amazing! I would love to win it!!!
