This morning, I did something I haven’t done in a LOOOOONNNGGG time…
Updated my ipod!
Check out the sweet new playlist:
This made my 3 mile treadmill jaunt AMAZING! I wanted to keep going but had to leave to get ready for class!
New music always gets me excited about a work out. My current obsession is Jay Sean’s “Do You Remember”
What’s your favorite work out song(s)??
As promised… Here is the Best Salad Ever!
That’s it!! Just kidding….
Chop up some romaine. If you’re eating at home, put it in a large bowl. If you’re taking it to go, cool whip containers work… great conversation starter too!
Add your desired veggie toppings: cucumbers, carrot ribbons and artichoke hearts (ideally this would have tomatoes and bell peppers but I’m out of those)
Add your protein: 1 chopped up string cheese and 1 chopped up veggie patty
And finally… the best part… Barley!!
Remember my obsession with Annie’s Buttermilk Dressing?? I found a homemade replacement! Prepare to be amazed…
Creamy Lemon Tahini Dressing
adapted from Culinate’s Lemon-Tahini Dressing
2 tbsp tahini
2 tbsp water
juice of 1 lemon
1 clove of garlic, minced
3/4 cup greek yogurt (any fat should work, I used nonfat)
dash of cumin
few shakes of paprika
few shakes of cayenne
sea salt to taste
Combine all the ingredients and be prepared for deliciousness! Play around with the spices til you find what tastes best to you!
I pack mine in an old garlic container. No need for fancy tupperware here!
I almost wouldn’t call this a salad! It’s just intense and delicious!
Well I’m off to class! Have a fantastic day! Eat a salad! They’re delicious! What’s the best salad you’ve ever had?

Yummmm that looks so delicious!!! I don’t know if I could pick the best salad I’ve ever had, I’ve had some pretty amazing ones. My perfect salad always must have avocado, dried fruit, some sort of nut, sprouts, and a sweet and spicy dressing (maple dijon perhaps).
I love new songs on my ipod! I need to update soon!
That playlist looks like a good one! Isn’t it funny how a new playlist can totally amp up a run and make it so much more fun?
Yay for new playlists!! I love Bonnie and Clyde and Boom Boom Pow. Some of my favorites are Miss New Booty, Shake That, Shake it Like a Salt Shaker, Life Your Life, Hot In Here, Bust a Move and Cant Touch This (can’t leave out my old schol stuff!!)
Haha I love how Miley Cyrus is on your playlist 🙂 But your salad looks so good! I totally reuse my tupperware. College makes you thrifty! I still use old take out containers because they’re reheatable!
that salad dressing sounds great! I’m really into tahini lately, I’ll try that definitely!!! 😀 And so funny that you use the garlic jar for the sauce, great idea!
I love great fancy salads! Yours looks great and that sauce sounds amazing. I love adding a mixture of pine nuts, sesame seeds and nutritional yeast to my salads.
I’m always excited to see playlists on blogs. Hehe, Britney Spear’s “Circus” is also a guilty pleasure of mine.
I LOVE grains on salad…helps them actually keep me full!
