Late Dinner

MY MIRACLE NOODLES FINALLY CAME! After hearing Lara rave about these "zero calorie, zero carb, zero sodium... etc" noodles for weeks, I finally put in an order for my own. I came home from work around 6 pm yesterday, but I had no time for dinner quite yet. I already planned my night and the order was: online quiz, workout, shower, dinner. By the time I finished everything else on my list, I was famished.

I didn't want to wait around for my noodles to cook, but then I read the label and realized it only needs to boil for two minutes. What????? These noodles kept getting better and better. Lara warned me that the "zero calorie" also stood for "zero taste," so I pulled out minced garlic, pepper, and mushrooms to flavor the noodles when they finished boiling.

I didn't think the noodles would completely satisfy me in my state of starvation, so I went in the fridge for the salad I never got around to eating at work (I literally don't sit down for 8 hours at a time when I'm serving). In this particular salad was arugula, spinach, sliced mini bell peppers, some leftover grilled salmon, avocado, tomato, cucumbers, raw mushrooms, and I'm sure I'm leaving something out (my mom calls these "garbage" salads because you basically just throw everything in your fridge into them).

I eventually just tossed the noodles in with the salad, because it felt odd to be eating them plain--they're a little bit of a curious texture--and it was genius! The noodles soaked up the flavors of the salad and the combined bowl made for a substantial and guilt-free dinner (forgot to get a picture I was enjoying too much)
