Gahhhh sorry for disappearing! It was one of those randomly crazy nights and I didn’t get home till late, late. GREAT food though!
Trying to figure out where I left off yesterday…..ah, lunch. I met the cute boy for Japanese after working at the studio for a few hours. 😉
Pink sushi? Obviously. I ordered the lunch special that came with two rolls, miso soup and salad. I’m honestly not quite sure what these rolls were exactly, but they were tasty. I especially liked the one on the left—spicy salmon I think?
I REALLY was not feeling the workout yesterday. The weather was being bizarre and I just felt a little run down with my migraine and all (I can still feel it behind my eye right now…it looooooms!) so I took a break. It’s important to be kind to your body, especially when training for athletic events! Sometimes I get so caught up in what I should be doing and lose sight of how my body feels. Because I’m going home tomorrow for a week I’m taking a break from cycling and even though I hate to admit it, that stresses me out a little bit because I know I should be training harder for the Fondo. However, I plan to keep up with my running while I’m out of town and go to my old yoga studio in Charleston and that makes me happy. Maybe a little break will do me good. 🙂
Anyways, for snack yesterday I had another slice of banana bread with almond butter and raspberry jam:
And then I went with said cute boy to a business dinner……of course “business dinners” around here entail drinking a lot of pretty amazing wine and food so there are no complaints at all! We met some great people at the Arrowood house out in Sonoma and tasted a few awesome wines there before heading to Saffron for dinner. Appetizers included these tiny ahi tuna tacos, mussels and sardines (ehh wasn’t a fan so no photo..haha).
There was some bubbly, Arrowood cabernet and another delicious cab passed around the table…
For my entree, I ordered the king salmon with spinach and asparagus. It was delicious but not very photogenic because it was served wrapped up in parchment!
I slept in a little late this morning and then had my newest obsession for breakfast:
Oh Starbucks spinach feta wrap…..how I adore you. I could eat these every day and be so happy. 🙂
I need to pack today, do a short run and run some errands….remember, y’all have until TONIGHT to purchase a raffle ticket for the Avocate giveaway!
See you in a bit!

March 31, 2010 at 10:04 amWow good looking eats!! I am craving sushi lately and haven’t had it in a while. Must fix that! I’ve never seen a pink roll before!
Anne
March 31, 2010 at 10:06 amThose wraps are insanely good! I get them all the time for something filling and healthy on road trips! I want to learn to recreate it so bad!
Keri
March 31, 2010 at 10:08 amSo much fun. Enjoy your well deserved vacation in Charleston! I have always wanted to go there!
Evan Thomas
March 31, 2010 at 10:08 amMmmm I love a good crusty bread for a snack

Ali @ Food, Fitness, Fashion
March 31, 2010 at 10:15 amUm…pink sushi looks interesting! I looove miso soup, delicious!
Sarah
March 31, 2010 at 10:17 amCute! Pink sushi!? Did it still seem like seaweed? Or was it some kind of rice paper? Your miso looks good too.
Sushi restaurants where I am only have bento boxes for lunch specials and they’re always served with deep fried tempura or teriyaki, not good. Oh I miss California sushi restaurants… hahaha.
Kathleen
March 31, 2010 at 10:18 amokay the spinach feta is good but have you had the huevos rancheros one? soooo good!
katherine
March 31, 2010 at 10:21 amI could never pass up pink sushi! My favorite roll is wrapped in white seaweed. I wonder is there’s a big difference in taste!
Heather (Heather's Dish)

Anna @ Newlywed, Newly Veg
March 31, 2010 at 10:33 amThat sushi looks so good– the pink makes it extra cute 🙂 Did you ever go to Blue Turtle yoga in Charleston? I loved that studio 🙂
Shannon (The Daily Balance)
March 31, 2010 at 10:34 amPINK sushi! I’ve never seen it – looks interesting!

March 31, 2010 at 10:34 amKeep us updated on how things progress with the “cute boy!”
Allie (Live Laugh Eat)
March 31, 2010 at 10:35 amYou’re tempting us with this speak of a cute boy 🙂 That being said, I totally respect your privacy and just hearing about him is enough. It’s nice to hear you are enjoying some great food together!
Sarah @ THE FOODIE DIARIES
March 31, 2010 at 10:39 amdo you know starbs took those off the menu for like a month? i think people protested bc it came back so quickly haha. it’s AMAZING–and really easy to re-create at home
Tracey @ I'm Not Superhuman
March 31, 2010 at 10:44 amTwo dates with Cute Boy? Yippee. I think any food that’s pink is extra fun. Except for milk. I learned when I was 6 that pink milk is really not cool.
Freya @ Brit Chick Runs
March 31, 2010 at 10:44 amThat wrap looks so good!
And the sushi…I’ve never had it before but I really badly want to try!! Imust add it to my list 🙂
Have a good day!
Lizz (Leading the Good Life)
March 31, 2010 at 10:44 amThose tiny tacos are adorable!!
Mama Pea
March 31, 2010 at 10:46 amSo many little clues as to who cute boy is…I have my guesses 🙂

March 31, 2010 at 10:50 amI love those Starbucks wraps!
And it is SO important to give yourself a break every once in a while. Hope your head feels better soon!

March 31, 2010 at 10:50 amCute boy, huh?? Could my dream have been a premonition of sorts? 😉 We MUST talk, love!
Hillary [Nutrition Nut on the Run]
March 31, 2010 at 10:51 amAwww, aren’t you going to be sad when you have to leave ‘said cute boy’?
Anne @ Food Loving Polar Beara
March 31, 2010 at 10:52 amThat pink sushi looks so cute 😀 I love miso soup, I order it 99% of all the times I go to eat japanese.
Corinne
March 31, 2010 at 10:52 amsushi, cute boys, wine and starbucks wraps!? girl, you are in heaven 🙂 hehe
Christie {Honoring Health}
March 31, 2010 at 10:54 amHoooray for pink sushi and more dates with “cute boy”! Is this the same cute boy from a couple months ago??
Laura Georgina
March 31, 2010 at 10:59 amI would be all over that wrap too. Anything with spinach and feta is a me-pleaser (spanakopita, wraps, even pasta with spinach and feta.. )
Cynthia (It All Changes)
March 31, 2010 at 11:01 amI had sushi for lunch on Monday and really want some more now 🙂
Lindsay @ The Ketchup Diaries
March 31, 2010 at 11:05 amSeriously – Starbucks spinach and feta wraps are DI-VINE.
Angharad
March 31, 2010 at 11:07 amI went home to England for two weeks recently and didn’t do a jot of running: I’m training for my first ever half marathon and I felt exactly the same as you! Kind of annoyed at myself for being worried, but nonetheless felt like I should be doing more…
Anyway, you’ll have an AMAZING time at home so no worries there!
Jil
March 31, 2010 at 11:07 amIt looks like Easter sushi! haha
Jessica @ The Process of Healing
March 31, 2010 at 11:20 amThat sushi looks delicious, yum!!!!
Sloan
March 31, 2010 at 11:24 amYou’ve got to try Jivamukti Yoga while you’re back in Charleston (it’s technically just over the bridge in Mt. Pleasant). It is the most incredible yoga studio I’ve ever experienced. Also, they have a killer RockAsana class on Thursdays where they blast the music. Have fun!
Ameena
March 31, 2010 at 11:24 amCan’t say I’ve seen pink sushi before!!

March 31, 2010 at 11:25 amDoes the “Cutie” read your blog?!
I have to try that Starbucks wrap…
eatdrinkandbemerrynyc
March 31, 2010 at 11:27 amAh looks delish! I adore sushi!

March 31, 2010 at 11:33 amJenna! Are you ever going to introduce the cute boy that we all know is Adam?!?!
Mary (Food Fit & Fun)
March 31, 2010 at 11:38 amyummy! All sorts of good food! I need to try that Starbucks wrap!
Sarah
March 31, 2010 at 11:43 amI love those wraps, too. Mmm…Starbucks!
Kelly @ Healthy Living With Kelly
March 31, 2010 at 11:49 amPink sushi…yes please!
Sarah-Mae
March 31, 2010 at 11:55 amThanks for reminder that sometimes taking a break IS okay, I actually really needed to hear that today: I was on the verge of skipping dinner to get a second yoga class in tonight. Sometimes I really need to learn how to shut up my inner nag!
Lauren
March 31, 2010 at 12:03 pmYou opened up the flood gates now that you mentioned “cute boy” more than once. Have fun on your trip
Adam
March 31, 2010 at 12:19 pmThose rolls look interesting… I wonder what makes them pink?
Lauren
March 31, 2010 at 12:34 pmI feel like you’re getting closer and closer to telling us who this cute boy is. 😉
Chelsea (Chelsea's Chew and Run Fun)
March 31, 2010 at 12:43 pmPink sushi looks delicious! Your photographs keep getting better and better.
Dying to know who this “cute boy” is! Also, have a great and safe trip to Charleston!
Erin (Travel, Eat, Repeat)
March 31, 2010 at 12:55 pmWe were just talking about sushi — there’s so much fresh seafood in NZ, the sushi must be great. Maybe for lunch… 😀
Brenda
March 31, 2010 at 1:07 pmI’m trying not to be a weird-stalker blog girl, but I was worried about you after your migraine. Glad to see you’re back! And I am very excited about your *cutie*. I know you said that Kevin is a “friend”, but I think he is one of the most amazing guys ever!
Allison K
March 31, 2010 at 1:16 pm“cute boy” haha love it~
Christie
March 31, 2010 at 1:19 pmJenna, I obviously like you. I read your blog daily. But do you not know how annoying it is when someone says “I have a seeeecret but I’m not going to tell”? You got annoyed when people hounded you about your boy situation, but you totally bring it on yourself and you must know you’re doing it. If you claim to want privacy on your blog, then leave references like these off of it.
Jenn @ Livewellfit
March 31, 2010 at 1:24 pmWhat a beautiful lesson honoring your body is! We are on the same wavelength today my friend…I was writing about that idea myself this morning.
Cute boy…SO FUN!
Kristie
March 31, 2010 at 2:09 pmThose rolls are so CUTE. I seriously don’t think I’ve ever seen pink rolls before. I wish, I’d order them in a second!
This is the second time I’ve heard wonderful things about that spinach wrap. I think I’m going to have to try it!
Staceyhttp://stacey-healthylife.blogspot.com/
March 31, 2010 at 2:34 pmI used to be addicted to the wraps.
Kelly
March 31, 2010 at 3:40 pmUgh, I sadly agree with number 57 (Christy). It really is super annoying for all of your readers! You need to introduce him asap!! I really love your blog, but these things annoy people!
Jess @ MTL Veggie
March 31, 2010 at 4:01 pmGlad to hear you took what sounds like a much needed break! I had to do the same today, sometimes your mind is saying ‘yes’ and your body just needs rest 🙂 Sushi looks delish by the way! Pink sushi- who’d have thought?
Diana (mymarblerye)
March 31, 2010 at 4:34 pmNo more teasing bout the boy till we get more details and pics! Sorry Jenna! You opened up pandoras box! 😉
amanda
March 31, 2010 at 4:38 pmI have had pink sushi before, I think it was called pink lady and was extremely delicious!
Mom
March 31, 2010 at 5:25 pmCUTE BOY ????
Katherine
March 31, 2010 at 5:35 pmWow, how do you get all this good food? Do you take yourself out to dinner or the hubby takes you out? do you work? I’m so impressed with all this!

March 31, 2010 at 6:58 pmI have to confess- I think your friend Adam B. is HOT and I really want him to be the “cute boy”, but in reality I know life doesn’t work like a movie usually so I am aware cute boy is prob someone else.
But…..tell that Adam friend he is gonna make one lucky lady very happy someday-he is a charmer!! Handsome!
Salah@myhealthiestlifestyle
March 31, 2010 at 7:09 pmI have been wanting to try that starbucks wrap!!! I will now have to go get that soon!

March 31, 2010 at 7:29 pmCute boy = Adam!
If you follow Jenna on twitter you’d know…
Mystery solved…ha ha :-p
Anon.
March 31, 2010 at 7:35 pmPS
Jenna hope I didn’t offend you, it’s none of our beeswax who you think is cute!
it’s just that I think one of your friends is awful cute and I would smile like at the end of a movie if you two ever clicked romantically.
There’s just something so sweet and lovely about friendship that blooms into something more.So just ignore my dream movie plot that’s in my head.I love to daydream !
Wishing you the happiest of times and life (with or without cute boys,but always with friendship !)
Candice
March 31, 2010 at 7:41 pmI haven’t tried one of those wraps, but it looks so good!
Jessica
March 31, 2010 at 8:20 pmHi Jenna, just wanted to let you know I left you something on my blog and can I just say your Banana bread pictures gave me a craving so now I think I’ve gotta make some!
L
March 31, 2010 at 8:21 pmJenna, I have been following your blog for almost a year and I love it! I read it everyday and look forward to when you update it and enjoy reading about your life. I’m also in the process of writing a nutrition book and LOVE the spinach feta wraps from Starbucks (although I have allergies to egg yolks, dairy and yeast, but hey, whatev.) 😉 However, my life doesn’t get put on hold or I don’t get annoyed when you don’t tell us things like who this cute boy is. I think it’s totally sweet you can say you’re going on dates or things on the blog, and whether you don’t want to jinx your relationship with this guy, aren’t that serious, want to respect his privacy or whatever your reason might be, THAT’S UP TO YOU. I can still enjoy reading your blog without knowing every single detail of your life. I know sometimes it’s hard to not get engrossed in the little details…… but it’s your blog. Be you. Don’t let what others think influence what YOU write on YOUR blog.
Sermon over. Have a great trip home!! 🙂

March 31, 2010 at 8:26 pmTime to take a break. It’s okay, really.

March 31, 2010 at 9:14 pmAll of Starbucks new breakfast items look so good, and they are surprisingly low cal. I have tried to make my own homemade version of their spinach feta wrap many times 🙂
