Mexicali

Mexican food no bueno!!!  Restaurant: slight resemblance to Chipotle but definitely not as good.
I'm not sure if this classifies as authentic Mexican food ya'll.
I could probably make this....

I said probably. :P

I got the taco salad without the nacho chips and I substituted it with some rice. I also asked for a little bit of sour cream (I saw their heavy hand with the sour cream ladle!)
Check out their rice. It looks like Uncle Ben's spanish rice. I miss the herb fantastic rice they use at Chipotle and even at another burrito joint here in London called Chilango. O well!

Breakfast this morning:
I ran out of my usual granola topping so I used a new product, Alpen The Swiss Recipe. Pretty good stuff. It contained raisins, hazelnuts, almonds, rolled oats and wheat flakes. I also added in some fresh raspberries, blueberries, wheat germ, cacoa nibs, and a sprinkle of my own plain almonds. I tried a new yogurt as well. Yeo Valley organic plain yogurt. It was creamy and delicious.

Yogurt tip: When buying yogurt make sure you check the label. I was surprised at how many brands have added sugars and other funky ingredients. You also want to make sure it containts live probiotic cultures (Yogurt-Superfood alert!!). When I'm in doubt, I'll stick with Fage Greek fat free yogurt.

Gym time yo!
