Not one to work on an empty stomach, I made sure to take a brief break to eat lunch.
Today’s mid day meal included a coconut curry tempeh sandwich on a whole wheat hot dog bun served with carrots and a cup of Greek yogurt sweetened with honey.
It was a satisfying combination and some great brain food.
Back to work…
Hoping to post my new playlist tonight!

Question of the Afternoon
What is your busiest day of the week?
Beth @ Beth's Journey to Thin says
Did you like that coconut curry tempeh??? I actually tried it a week or two ago and it almost made me throw up! i don’t know if maybe the package was bad or something bc I checked the date, and I’m not usually that picky!
peanutbutterfingers says
really? no, i loved it! my friend merri tried it too and is also a fan. i can see how it might not be for everyone though. the flavor is definitely strong!
Natalie @ Will Jog For Food says
The tempeh looks really good?! Did you buy the coconut curry type? I’ve never had tempeh but have wanted to try it for sure 🙂
My busiest day is probably Friday…people in my office decide they love to give projects on that day!
Gavi @ Gavi Gets Going! says
Coconut curry tempeh looks delicious! Mondays are usually a busy day for me, too, although this whole week will be one huge whirlwind of busyness at work. Good luck catching up and getting everything done! I can’t wait to check out your new rockin’ playlist–I need some new tunes!
Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat says
That tempeh sounds delicious! My busiest day over the last 3 weeks was EVERY DAY! But now things are a bit more quiet. I’m grateful because I can really feel that my body needs a break (mentally and physically!) I hope you have a great (and productive) afternoon! 🙂
Holly @ Couch Potato Athlete says
My busiest day is actually Tuesday and Friday — seems many people in my office take off Mondays (or work from home) so everything becomes urgent on Tuesdays when they are back to work. I don’t mind, it makes Mondays less stressful!
Shanna, Like Banana says
Mondays have the most meetings and I LOVE it. The busier the merrier 🙂
Coconut tempeh? Nom!
Averie (LoveVeggiesAndYoga) says
MONDAY!!! My email overflows, my blog traffic & questions overflow, my life’s errands, work, etc…today is my slammed day 🙂
micki says
Oh goodness that looks delicious. Have you tried Greek God’s yogurt, with honey??
I seriously don’t buy it anymore because I’m afraid of eating the ENTIRE thing. Especially paired with granola and raspberries. Disaster.
Alaina says
Fridays and Saturdays tend to be the most busy days at the hotel. Especially once the spring/summer hits.
Jenny @ loveeatrun says
Monday’s tend to be slow around here too but this one is especially busy! Must be something in the water today! Can’t complain though because it makes the day go by so fast!!!
Clare @ Fitting It All In says
My busy days totally depend on what we have going on!
Thanks for the St. Patricks’ recipes – I’d been looking for some for Thursday and that Colcannon is now on my list!
Alyssa @ Life of bLyss says
I’m so impressed by your ability to use up your whole wheat hot dog rolls from your cookout. 😉 I need to learn that skill!
Heather (Heather's dish) says
Its always random days for me but Monday’s always nuts!
Melissa says
Monday-Thursday! I guess maybe Mondays are a little busier than the rest, but it seems I am always going full speed until Friday. For whatever reason, things seem to wind down by then. Thank goodness!
Katy @ A Healthy Shot says
You’re lucky your Monday is flying by… mine is absolutely dragging! Can’t wait to see your playlist 🙂
Gen says
Mondays and Fridays are the busiest!!!!!!!!!!!
That tempeh sounds deelish! =D
Lindz @ Happy or Hungry? says
Welp, at least busy days are speedy days!
I am leisuring at home today (spring break, woo!) and I made those peanut butter protein bars this morning. They are SO, SO delicious! Thanks for posting that recipe! Easily a new fave of mine 😉
Annette @ EnjoyYourHealthyLife says
tempeh, eh??? I must try this…. 🙂 I love how Mondays are so great and busy!!
Stephanie @ LiveCookLove says
Definitely Mondays. I always have a ton of emails and things to catch up on here at work. But it’s good, because by the time I can look up and take a breather, it’s already half way through Tuesday!
Carrie says
TODAY HAS BEEN SO SO BUSY!! ihve had 1000 things to do and now its almost 9pm and i feel like a fail!..
mkr says
Just think – Bachelor finale tonight! It’s the little things in life :]
Parita @ myinnershakti says
Definitely Mondays! And I’m never as ready as I should be…LOL!
Ali @ Ali Runs says
My most busy day is always Mondays! After that it gets much more relaxed. 🙂
Alexa @ Simple Eats says
Ugh Mondays. Definitely have a case of them today! I feel like this is pretty unanimous. Thursdays are weirdly busy, too!
Christina says
Congrats on the tickets! sooooo jealous. That’s going to be so much fun!
Looks like you got the goods going on in your lunch- nothing perks me up quite like greek yog. and honey.
rebecca lustig says
i’ll be honest, I thought that was a pickle sandwich at first glance! haha
hope youre hanging in there 🙂
Chelsea J says
Your lunch looks so good! You alway find away to get in so many veggies. I always try to add more veggies in my lunch just like you! I’ve even started cutting up a bell pepper to eat with lunch! Its hard since I am such a sweet eater.
Colleen @ The Lunchbox Diaries says
My busiest days are Thursdays! I work all day and have class for six hours at night. YUCK! I usually like to be busy, but that’s a little much for me 😉
Briana (AuD Runner) says
Coconut Curry Tempeh??! How have I never heard of this until just now?! Thanks for sharing, your recipes page is great!
Sarah says
Monday is definitely my most busy day. I’m in class until 10 p.m. Monday nights 🙁
Kim says
What is tempeh? Is it like tofu?
Amber K says
I keep thinking about trying tempeh, but it looks so gross in the package. It looks too much like meat ewww.
