Today I'm A Vegetable


There's a funny commercial about this lady's kid playing soccer on a team, and he or she is running around in a french fry costume. Obviously slower than the rest and struggling. This other lady's kid was the MVP. It was a commercial about what you eat and your performance. I thought it a funny approach about you are what you eat.
I don't know if this is necessarily a post about "what I should be doing", but I certainly do feel good about this meal I'm having. Strawberry yogurt (with granola not shown), half an avocado with lemon pepper seasoning, half an orange bell pepper, trees (broccoli) with a bit of ranch, and a mini wheel of cheese- one of the greatest forms of cheese you can get aside from a regular sized wheel of cheese. Some might say that this isn't even a dinner, that these are the things "dinner" eat, but as it is the food being consumed around dinner time, I'm naming it so.
As for what inspired it, I have no idea. I just got back from the gym and had a protein shake and this was my immediate next craving. The only downside: I've already been hassled for being the Texan that doesn't love steak, I'm certain this isn't going to help my case any.



I'd like more meals of this nature, but could use some help. This really is an unheard of craving for me, so I'm not quite sure how to create more of these.
With that said: Comment! Whether I know you read these blogs or not, don't be shy! Let me know some ideas you have about more meals like this.

For the record: I don't hate steak by any means, it's just seldom my first choice. Yes, even "good steak". I've had many people tell me "you just haven't had a good steak", yes I have and I like them, they're fine. I'd just more than likely take chicken breast or fish as a hearty protein source or bulk of my meal.
