Fraises et fromage

It’s been a heck of a long, stressful day. And to be honest, my eating was quite mediocre. Lunch was a large whole wheat roll, a banana, and chickpea salad (chickpeas, cucumbers, feta cheese, tomatoes, olive oil, and assorted herbs). Afternoon snack was chocolate covered pretzels and some pita chips. Talk about hearty and nutritious eating [...]

Bellissimo

There’s nothing better than a good eggplant parmesan (Catie, you were right!). And while my eggplant parmesan wasn’t exactly tradition, it sure was tasty…especially considering it was cooked in a microwave. And it was super easy to make with very few ingredients: just an eggplant, marinara sauce, ricotta cheese, and 2 tbsp. of wheat germ [...]

Confessions

I confess…I spent the entire day in my pajamas and I was not about to get all dressed up just to go grab some dinner (I’m not one of those students that feels comfortable wandering around campus in my pajamas). So instead of trying to be at least a little creative, I had a melange [...]

Feeling snacky

It’s been quite a snacky afternoon; because I got into the groove of studying I didn’t want to take a big long break for lunch and I ended up having a series of smaller snack-meals instead. I probably should have stopped and taken a break but I knew that if I had gotten out of [...]

Smells like a turkey dinner

That’s what the girls in my hall said after I had microwave-baked my sweet potato. It’s amazing that something as simple as sweet potato smells can conjure up thoughts of Thanksgiving. I felt like I definitely would have the best dinner on the floor But, sadly, I think I let my sweet potato [...]

Homework is taking over!

As I mentioned yesterday, this is going to be another homework filled weekend. The homeworking has already started…I’ve been working on chemistry since climbing out of bed this morning. Thankfully I find electron configuration somewhat interesting and much more bearable than thermochemistry. But since I have a chem exam on Wednesday I am going to [...]

Good Eats

Although this title was inspired by Alton Brown’s show Good Eats (which I am watching as I type), this evening’s eats were most definitely good. Mr. Brown probably would not have approved of my extremely basic meal but my appetite still isn’t back full force. Thankfully it is coming back. Because I haven’t had much [...]

Perfect day for some soup

Although it’s not cold or damp out, it sure is rainy. And rainy weather puts me in the mood for soup…which is guess is perfect considering I’m still trying to be gentle on my stomach. The only soup I had in my room was Amy’s Butternut Squash and I was a bit nervous about it [...]

Snacky night

I just wanted to pop in and say that it’s been quite the snacky night so there won’t be a formal dinner post tonight…I didn’t take pictures of every little snack I ate and there was no actual meal, per se, just lots of different things that my body was telling me I needed.
 Hooray for [...]

Aaaah……

I had the most divine Sunday ever. Usually I’m not a fan of Sundays because Sunday brings Monday and the back-to-the-grind routine but today made up for every single bad Sunday I’ve ever had. About 10 times over. Today was not productive in the traditional sense; if you measure productivity by the amount of work done, [...]
