All About the Cheese

January 6, 2011 by Julie 40 Comments

Lunch today was all about the cheese.

Spinach Artichoke Cream Cheese

Cream cheese!

I nabbed this little tub of Philadelphia spinach artichoke cream cheese at the grocery store yesterday. It was a total impulse buy, but one I’m glad I made because it is so flippin’ tasty!

The taste reminds me of spinach artichoke dip and was the perfect addition to my roasted eggplant sandwich.

Eggplant + Cream Cheese

On the side of my sandwich, I sliced up a green pepper and enjoyed a stick of Sargento Colby jack cheese.

Thursday Lunch

Peppahhh

Meet the Sandwich

Not too shabby!

Time to work, work, work. I hope this day goes by quickly because I have a hot date with my friend Laurel to attend a hip hop dance class this evening. (I dream of being able to shake mah tailfeather.)  This should be interesting!

    true story.. I have a sort of hip hop obsession. I can’t take my eyes away from the so you think you can dance screen when a hip hop/krump/cool jazz dance is performed!

    unfortunately, this girl chose to tap dance for 5 years. my skillz are a little different.

    ah, hell. we can be hip hop thugz in our dreams, right? 🙂

    Spinach and Artichoke Cream Cheese? That seems perfect/amazing/incredible! I’m going meat-free in 2011, so I bet that it would be tasty stuffed in mushrooms or something. Thanks for sharing!

    Ryan and I went to the gym on a Tuesday night a few weeks back thinking we were going to a Body Attack class only to find out we looked at the schedule wrong and were actuall at Body Jam. I thought for sure Ryan would duck and run but we stuck it out and had a blast! I love dancing for exercise! Have fun!

    I absolutely love Zumba myself – a chance to shake my butt around and have fun without worrying about difficult choreography!

    I love your article on HollabackHealth! I’m curious: what made you decide to start a blog? And now that you’ve been doing it for a while, what are your favorite parts about it?

    I love cardio-dance type classes! The Y I work at has one that I used to attend alllll the time, but now that I work late hours, I can’t make it to the class anymore 🙁

    Question for you…I know you’ve probably answered this a bajillion times and it’s probably posted somewhere, but what kind of camera do you use? Is it the one that was broken a little bit ago and you had to get all of the moisture out of? I ask because it takes GREAT pictures… I love the depth in the last picture of your sandwhich. I am wanting to look into a new camera this year I think, esp. now that I’ve started my new blog!

    i took a hip hop yoga class in 7th grade and only 5 people came so we got to make up our own dance to “Shoulder Lean” and a bunch of other hip-hop/ghetto rap beats. It was pretty much the highlight of my middle school career.
