I laid in bed awake for over 4 hours this morning. My dog too:

For a few nights I was getting back to 7-8 hours of sleep, but lately it’s been 5.5 again. I think both Julius and I aren’t used to not having Abe around. Or, I could be getting excited about the upcoming shoot – when I was filming “White on Rice” (still available on demand!) I had major insomnia, but that might have been because I was alone in a different city too.
When I did finally roll out of bed, this was consumed:
Toasted sprouted Hemp bagel spread with a Laughing Cow Light wedge

A small orange, sliced


What have I done all day?! I cleaned a little, took a walk with my friend Katie, and that’s about it….how in the world is it 3pm already?!?!?
Cracked open a can of Sardines for lunch.

I really am not grossed out by how these look/smell, but I guess some people are. They’re so good for you, though – and I personally think they taste really delicious…especially with this mix -

- 1 tin Sardines
- Blob of Yellow Mustard
- Heaping teaspoon Vegenaise
- Palmful Curry Powder, few shakes of Onion Powder
- Pinch Salt, Couple Grinds of Black pepper
I put half of this mixture on toasted TJ’s Sprouted Multi Grain Bread with a handful of baby spinach

Cut into quarters (I always liked eating my tuna sandwiches this way) with an organic peach

Just realized I’ve already had two servings of sprouted grains today! Guess I know the title of this post….

I’ve never been a fan of sardines, but then again I’ve never had them. They just kind of weird me out, but you did make it look yummy!
I have never tasted sardines before. They’ve always scared me a little too much!
we buy those sardines all the time. im the only one that wont eat them but they definitely look good.. its just the taste and smell that get to me hehe.
awee nap with the doggie <3
Okay, I think you’ve sold me! I’m gonna buy some sardines next grocery shop!
ugh, i could NEVER manage to get those down. Not sure what they look like but I imagine a bunch of dead fish in the can. Is that right? EWWWW. I have mental issues when it comes to that stuff though so don’t mind me.
ha ha – yes they DO look like dead fish (without heads, thankfully) in a can. maybe someone else can fix them for you!!!
Been eating sardines since I was a kid…like 7 or 8 yrs old. Love them. Used to gross out my classmates in school when I would bring them for lunch. They are such a mild flavor…not the strong fishy taste I thing people expect.
Lynn…I adore sprouted wheat bagels…and those little wedges of cheese? So good! You and I need to live closer, I would love to spend an afternoon on a walk with you!
yes! please move to los angeles and open a bakery!
I just bought my first can of sardines. Not gonna lie, I’m a little nervous to try them, but I keep telling myself I HAVE to love them. I love salty fish, this is a sure thing for me!
I get that way too when there are changes (re: not sleeping well at all). I recommend warm milk or sleepy tea before bed.
I haven’t come around to sardines yet…but you are so right..
I am sitting in Tax law…dying…haha
I realized I never mentioned this, but HAPPY BLOGIVERSARY:)
I have yet to try sardines!
I really need to try sardines. Are they similar to tuna? I can’t force tuna down.
i’ve a feeling sardines are not for you. they’re pretty similar to tuna – a little mushier and milder tasting.
girlfriend!!! why haven’t we met before? Thanks for comin’ over to the blog. So great to meet another Asian female food blogger. love your story ‘n honesty, proud of ya
I need to suck it up and try sardines. I know they’re good used as seasoning too.
I have heard of the healthy benefits of sardines (fatty fish) but I do get grossed out by canned fish. I probably just need to get over it and try it.
Sardines give me the heebie jeebies!
sardines are DELICIOUS and your pup is ADORABLE
Yum, sardines! I had tuna today haha
so similar but not really haha
ugh- I always sleep less when Josh isn’t home! Isn’t it great to have the puppers there though? I’d be so lonely without Frank
Great breakfast. LC cheese is amazing
Julius is so adorable! I’m a mess without Nick, too.
I’ve been wanting to eat more sardines lately after hearing about how healthy they are. I’ll have to try your recipe!
I love laughing cow cheese. that stuff is awesome!
I still haven’t been able to bring myself to try sardines, but you make ‘em look gooooood!
Thank to your blog that inspired me!
Finally, I got my first blog and first page.
Next, I’m waiting for the first person to read and comment…..lol
Your Sardines for lunch look so yummy
congrats on your food blog! best of luck to you!
I’m starting to find that a lot of stinky food taste so yummy. Fish sauce, shrimp paste, durian, all yummers in my book. Can we still be friends? Teehee.
love love love sardines, especially with avacados on toast!
