La vie est belle

Happy Friday everyone :)  What do you have planned for the weekend? Me, other than my morning run and spending a couple of hours at the office tomorrow, I don’t have any major plans yet.

Part of dinner was this.

Minty cucumber salad in tangy honey mustard sauce.

Two egg whites topped with a tablespoon of nutritional yeas, spinach jalapeno hummus and bread slices. I recently discovered nutritional yeast via food blogs and I’ve wondered what it tasted like. So the other day I bought a packet from carrefour Suntec (organic section) — 100g packet for $3.30. What can I say? It is awesome! It has this nutty cheesy flavour, it is a good source of protein and B-complex vitamins. I am seriously loving it because of its flavour :)
