Falafels + Mediterranean Yogurt Dip

February 26, 2013 - Author: Ashlee - 6 Comments

Good morning!

See anything different on the blog today? Someone please tell me how I didn’t notice that my header said “His-n-Hers Happy-n-Healthy” and my web address and blog name is “His-n-Hers Healthy-n-Happy”?! I’m sure that was a tad confusing for readers trying to find my site…Sorry about that!

This morning I reallllly wanted to get my workout in before work. I’m leaving town again tomorrow for a work trip and knew it would be nice to get my sweat session out of the way so I have extra time to pack and get things together tonight.

For the last month or so, the hubby has been going into work at 2:30 am (and getting home after 6pm!). Thankfully today is the last day of that, but after he left this morning I could NOT go back to sleep for the life of me. I laid there until about 4:30 when I finally drifted off. An hour later at 5:30, I decided there was no way I would get a good workout in and slept in instead. Sheesh. I’m pretty sure it was the red wine I had while watching The Bachelor. Does it disrupt anyone else’s sleep, or am I just weird? At least I know I will sleep good tonight!

LUNCH: Falafels + Pita & Mediterranean Yogurt Dip – 295 calories

About 2 years ago, I took a trip to Seattle for work, and we ate at this delicious little hole in the wall Mediterranean restaurant. Ever since then, I’ve been in love with falafel, but sadly, have never had them again! I decided over the weekend it was time to change that and prepped a bunch to freeze for lunches.

SO good!! They taste like something that Ican’t quite put my finger on… Either way, they’re totally delicious. I served 2 falafel patties open faced on a whole wheat pita with romaine, grape tomates & a Mediterranean inspired sauce.

  1. I LOVE falafel and that Mediterranean yogurt dip sounds fabulous. I will most definitely be trying that! :)

  2. I always wake up in the middle of the night and can’t get back to sleep when I drink like 2-3 glasses of wine! It’s the WORST feeling! Ps I just recently found your blog – it’s great! You are hysterical and you apparently live pretty close to where my boyfriend grew up (only know that because of how close you live to that casino you went to for v-day not bc I’m a stalker….). We live in Ohio now so I’m SOO jealous of your weather!!

    • It IS the worst feeling. Glad to know I’m not the only one!
      Thank you! And in my opinion it is perfectly acceptable to stalk blogs and facebook ;-) We live in Gainesville, Texas if either of you know where it is! Such a small world!

  3. Your falafel recipe sounds really good and so easy! :)
