Lunch today included roasted asparagus and a chicken quesadilla… but my cup of hot chocolate stole the show. The perfect beverage for the cold weather!
Thursday Lunch
(Yes, I stole Ryan’s tervis tumbler cup. I told you we love ’em!)
I drank the whole cup of hot cocoa while trying to prevent myself from saying mmmm or yuuuum after every sip. Kinda like the yum, yum kitty. (<– If you haven’t watched this adorable video on YouTube yet, you have to check it out. So cute!)
Though my hot ‘n’ sweet drink was the highlight of my meal, the asparagus and ‘dilla held their own.
Asparagus
Eat Da Cheez!
Gotta love a hot lunch on a cold day.
Back to work I go. Less than two hours ’til 5!

Einstein’s is my favorite! I LOVE their coffee! I agree drinks can make a meal. My tea is really warming me up
Ok, this is so nerdy of me, but I could notice in that 1st photo were your dual monitors! I am so jealous! 🙂
And, yes! Usually for lunch [when I’m not snowed-in my house], I go to Starbucks for lunch to blog. And then I eat soup or something back at the office. But MAN, that hot, sweet beverage sure makes my day! I will be sad when the gingerbread syrup runs out for the season. 🙁
i LOVE my two monitors. i just wish i had them at home, too!
Oh how neat! What do you use them for (since I’m assuming you use them both at the same time…) Editing photos and stuff?
editing… but not photos. i use them for writing and editing. i’ll have my sources on one screen & my word doc open on the other. it’s so, so helpful!
Ooo Einstein’s! Good choice.
2 monitors = a very important job to do. go julie!
Hot chocolate sounds amazing right now!
That video is sooo cute!
i knooooow! i think i’ve watched it like 20x. i want that lil’ kitty!
There is no way there is anything in that “quesadilla”. You can tell in the picture that it’s flat is a board!! Fess up – were you eating a plain tortilla???
nope… 2 pieces of cheese & a few slices of deli chicken meat.
Stay warm! It’s been in the 30s and 40s here, so I’ve been sporting my extra sweet parka. You make “bundling” look so cute and fashionable! 🙂
I haven’t found a hot cocoa brand that I’m in love with yet, but I often enjoy a hot mug of almond milk mixed with unsweetened cocoa powder and a little stevia. It is the perfect treat for a cool night!
Im totally counting down til 5 right now too. lol.
I love your hair in that picture! Looks lovely! 🙂
Hot chocolate is never a bad decision. yum!
I have a question – does Ryan bring leftovers to work every day too? If not, what does he eat for lunch every day? Can we have “A Day in the Life of Ryan” post??
it’s in the works!!! and no, he typically doesn’t bring leftovers to work. he eats the exact same lunch nearly every day! more to come, i promise!
Looks delish!
I see that you have a tervis full of water on your desk. How much water do you drink a day? Do you make an effort to drink a certain amount?
i really need to drink more. i make an effort to drink 3 of those tervis tumblers full of water while i’m at work + water at the gym + water with dinner. it doesn’t always happen though.
love worktime countdowns! And I love that you are eating asparagus in the middle of the day-I feel like people neglect it as a dinner time veggie!
HAHAH.
thanks to that (precious) video, I now have a goofy mental picture of you and your ‘dilla and hot chocolate at your desk doing the high-pitched “yuuhmyumyumyum!”
mm quesdillas are always so satisfying- I havnt made one in far too long!
Where’s the cheese?!? Hahaaha.
Hot chocolate makes any meal delicious 😀
I want a tervis tumbler! They look so cute!
Yumm! Now I’m craving a hot chocolate. 🙂
I’ve been a lurker for awhile…finally wanted to say hi! Thanks for a great blog:)
Hot chocolate is the perfect winter warmer!
Mmmm hot chocolate sounds good! 😀
Love hot chocolate!! I wonder how hot carob would taste?
you have no idea how good a chicken quesadilla sounds right now…i wasn’t even hungry and now my tummy’s grumbling!
Hot chocolate alwayss makes my day!
Love hot chocolate and love the fact that you steal Ryan’s monogrammed cup 🙂
I loooove warm food on a cold day [[probably like anybody else]]. I was going to have a salad for lunch, but I just couldn’t resist a warm pad thai today 🙂
I just watched that kitty YouTube video for the first time and ohmigoshhhh that is the cutest little thing!!! Thanks for sharing that 🙂
This is totally off topic, but your hair is so cute! If I tried to curl mine, it would be flat before my morning snack! 🙂
Ughhh! I am so jealous of your Einstein’s! I used to be obsessed with that place when I lived in Florida, but sadly there aren’t any where I live now. Enjoy it for me! haha
I’m sure I’m a freak, but I don’t like hot chocolate. I like every other form of chocolate there is but not the drinkable hot kind.
I have had lots of kitties and that is actually a “Don’t mess with my food” sound. I think the kitty didn’t want his yummy food taken away.
I checked out the yum, yum kitty and my cat at home totally freaked out just listening to it!
I adore my tervis tumbler too! We even got a set with our last name monogram on them for our wedding! I love them!
Love the tervis tumbler – I gotta get me one of those.
Hi hi! I know you say you eat small meals throughout the day, but it seems like as much as your workout you really don’t eat all that much!
dillas rock my world! usually drinks dont make the meal for me.. but this sure sounds like it did!
MMm hot chocolate. Now that sounds yummy – esp. on these cold, blistery days. I might have to stop at the store and grab some on the way home.
A gf of mine told me that Dunken Donuts HC is pretty good. I tasted it but it’s not as tasty as she was making it out to be. =/
Those tumblers are really cute. You’ve said before that you were able to nab your’s at Bed, Bath & Beyond, right?
yep!
oh cool! I’ll have to check out our local store! Thanks! 🙂
Is your hair curled with your straightener in this photo?
