Holy Green!

My paperwhites are blooming!

IMG_1522 (1024x768)

Studying was a success today. I sat in an armchair for over an hour studying Food Science and then I wanted to take a walk and decided to just take my Clinical notes with me. I was gone for an hour! That’s how long it took to get through them. It was a really nice day though. Talk about NEAT!

I came home hungry at 5:00 and inevitably spoiled my appetite with this fun tasting plate. Half an apple (my other half ate the other half), apricot + fig, roasted garbanzos, ~1 tbsp trail mix with butterscotch, and some Trader Joe’s bunnies I had as a free samples from ages ago.

We started on dinner around 6:30 despite me not being that hungry because he needed to get in bed earlier tonight.

This one was a big green winner! Inspired by this recipe and this recipe, we came up with this recipe: Green Greens + Mac.

IMG_1527 (1024x768) 

I LOVED it. A one-bowl meal, a thick hearty sauce, all wholesome ingredients.

IMG_1534 (1024x768)

I didn’t need it, but I had a tiny end piece of rye bread on the side. With butta. I always have to have two components to my dinners. A palate cleanser between bites.

Tomorrow’s plans include yoga, oatmeal, major studying, a lunch out, more studying and soup for dinner 😎

I am debating taking my online Psych test tonight. I’ll decide as soon as I push Publish…

    I’m definitely with you on the one-bowl concept, but I’m also with you on the two-component meal concept as well! Infinitely more exciting, even though it was just toast. 🙂 Looks like the recipe was a serious success!

    Yay for pasta (minus the cheese though, no me gusta). My boyfriend doesn’t really like pasta(!) so we never have it, which is probably a good thing but I’ve been craving it like mad lately.

    I love one bowl meals! You’re snack looks great, but I am with you on spoiling your dinner appetite. It happens to me, too and it’s so annying because I always want whatever I planned to make for dinner.

    I thought about emailing you at the contest, when I saw your lunch post – but I knew it was too late since you’d be studying the rest of the afternoon – oh well!

    I’m loving the 70 degree weather – dreading the 50’s to come – though that won’t be THAT bad either.

    So, I clicked on the Neat link you posted (to muveit.com) Is their Gruve product supposed to be like the Bodybugg? I have a BodyBugg and I love it. It really helps me keep my exercise goals in focus.
