Brekkie X 2, Mexican X 2

I woke up early this morning in Ojai and had a lemon zest Luna bar and a cup of coffee which was really gross. It was way too watered down; coffee done w/ a French press is so much richer. Afterwards I went to the hot springs which were really beautiful, I was disappointed to see though that people had littered a bunch there. I got a great picture, but it was accidently deleted : (

By the time I got back my family and I went to go and get breakfast at Eggs & Things. It's a cute little place w/ very traditional breakfast options. This is how I ended up eating breakfast twice, although a burrito w/ beans, avocado, & potatoes w/ a side of fruit really isn't breakfast.

I also had a few more cups of coffee (much better than my first on of the morning) & some OJ. I love this coffee cup
Pretty flower I saw, had to add it.
On my way home to Malibu, I went and stopped by this sketchy massage place in Thousands Oaks where my mom and aunt had gotten a massage before & they said it was great. I was a little hesitant, but an hour later & only after spending $40 I was super glad that I had went - they were really good. I was feeling so relaxed that I came home & passed out for a few hours.
The burrito from earlier sat in my stomach like a stone and I wasn't hungry until about 9 p.m. tonight. Weirdly enough I was craving Mexican again so I improvised.
Nacho's vegan style! I was going to go and buy tortilla chips but I decided to use some of the left over Terra root chips that I had left over from earlier in the week. On top I melted TJ's Mexican shredded soy cheese, black refried beans, homemade guac (1 small avo, diced onion, salt, & pepper), & diced tomatoes. I doused it in Tapatio before digging in.
It was delicious, I'm in a food comatose now. Perfect for staying in on a Saturday night & catching up on Lost.

Taco Tuesday in Ojai

The best part of my day is waking up and drinking coffee. I am not kidding, It is literally the last thing I think about as I go to sleep. I'll put a coffee tutorial on here soon, but for now this is generally what my coffee routine looks like...
I also had a Lemon Zest Luna Bar which is my favorite flavor of Luna Bar that I have tried yet.

Lunch included this yummy salad below which consisted of Trader Joe's herb salad, 1/4 cup canned corn, 1/4 black beans, 1/4 cup frozen peas, cherry tomatoes, a squirt of BBQ sauce, and a scoop of hummus

I also snacked on some pineapple and a sliced fuji apple throughout the day (sorry the pics are a little over exposed trying to work out my camera)

After I finished class I drove up to Ojai again and went out to dinner with my family at this little Mexican restaurant Antonio's for Taco Tuesday. We snacked on lots of unpictured chips, salsa, and guac, and then my mom and I split this enormous veggie burrito & some margaritas. Note the two bottles of hot sauce, the spicier the better : )
