I Don’t Always Eat Steak…

But when I do, it’s in a delicious Korean Steak wrap like this one!

NOM.

I hardly ever eat steak anymore, and when I do it’s almost always at a nice steak house. Remember Bern’s? That’s probably the only steak I’ve ordered for myself while dining out in at least a year. If not two.

I’m just not a huge fan of red meat, but I guess that works out because lighter proteins like chicken and seafood is a lot better for you.

But before we get off subject here, can I go back to lunch for a second? I got all of the tastiness you see below at the bargain price of $5 in our arena’s cafe.

Just in case you’re curious as to why I became instantly obsessed with this spinach wrap, here’s what’s inside:

• Korean steak (but I’m sure any kind of thinly sliced steak would do)

• kale

• cabbage

• carrots

• tomato

• corn

• Asian dressing – not sure what that is, but I’m hoping there’s a less fatty substitute out there.

I fully plan on attempting to recreate a version of it someday, so I figured maybe some of you would like to know too!

It also came with a side salad, which I originally thought I didn’t need.

Joke’s on them though, because I ended up saving half of the wrap for later on. #doubledipping

I swear this isn’t a plug to come eat at The Palace arena, but I just have to share a fantastic and well-priced healthy meal when I see one.

As I mentioned this morning, my Wednesday started off on a fun note!

Much like a lot of my days this summer, I spent a good chunk of my day chasing this wacko around.

I’m sure you’ve seen me mention HOOPER before, and I have a feeling you’ll see his fury face pop up throughout the entirety of the summer. Sorry if you’re getting bored of the horse photos, but I feel like I can’t not include them.

I mean… it’s not every day you get to see an over-excited horse mascot dancing, dunking, and causing havoc around the city.

Following him around gives me access to a lifetime supply of silly string as well as a ton of free Pistons swag, so I can’t really complain. And trust me when I say keeping him out of trouble and under control IS work!

So there you have it… just another day in the life, ya’ll.

Since I was already at the arena today, I met Scott at work for lunch and am currently hijacking his computer while he’s in a meeting to chat with you all. (I do – in fact – moonlight as a ninja, just in case you were wondering.)

I feel like these summer days just keep going by faster and faster! Probably like most of you, I added a large amount of projects to my summer to-do list that includes a lot of cleaning and organizing in between the every day events and (what I wish was every day) travels.

We are leaving next week for a ten-day trip to Florida, and I have so much I would ideally like to finish before then. And then there’s that whole studying concept I’m way behind on. Sheesh. I just need to go…

Off to the post office and then to get onto all the nonsense I call to-do’s. See you back here in the morning!

Question of the Afternoon

• Are you a steak person? Or fan of meat in general?

If you are new or only take a glance at my blog, you might think I was a vegetarian. I rarely eat meat (I just don’t seem to crave it!) and when I do it’s almost always in a lighter version like turkey, chicken, seafood, or even veggie substitute.

I still try to keep up my protein intake by including a lot of beans, nuts and eggs into my diet and love, love, love turkey, black bean, veggie, and quinoa burgers. Also, protein bars and smoothies are lifesavers!
