Think Inside The Box

Well, I am quite impressed with Near East! The Mediterranean Curry was fantastic and couldn’t have been quicker or easier.

IMG_0356

Topped with a piece of seared cod – yum!

IMG_0365

We mixed sauteed celery, mustard greens, hydrated raisins and toasted sunflower seeds into the couscous. Great combo of textures.

 IMG_0359 IMG_0361  

Plus a dollop of Fage and some red pepper flakes and cayenne sprinkled on top –

IMG_0364

Can’t wait to try more of these boxes 🙂

IMG_0363

For dessert I had a VeggieGirl muffin heated and topped with PB. Dee-licious! There are only two left 😥

IMG_0368

Somehow I managed to get my to-do list complete (with the exception of bumping a few items to Tuesday 🙂 ) I’m all set for tomorrow with my notebook cleaned out and empty of last semester’s stuff, my bookbag packed, a good lunch.

For those of you wondering, here’s my class schedule for this semester. It’s gonna be a hard one, but note that there’s NOTHING on T/TH!! I am psyched about that!!

Monday Tues Wednesday Thurs Friday
        9:00-11:30
Food Sci. Lab
9:30-10:45 Biochem   9:30-10:45 Biochem    
11:00-12:15
Food Science
  11:00-12:15
Food Science
   
         
3:30-4:45 Foodservice   3:30-4:45 Foodservice    
    5:00-7:45 Clinical Nutrition   **Developmental Psych: ONLINE**

 

Bath, read, bed!

    Oh wow that is great about Tuesday & Thursdays being off!! I had that schedule a few times in university and it was amazing. One semester I actually worked it so I only had class Tues and Thurs! Sweet. 🙂 I also took Developmental Psychology online too.

    What class are you looking forward to most?

    Angela,
    I’m not sure. I’m stoked not to have any boring chemical chemistry this semester (OR LAB!!!). I think I’m most excited about Biochem. I’m a science person and want to learn more about all the nutritional processes.

    I use to plan my classes for either m/w/f or t/th. It helped so much when trying to maintain some kind of a school/part-time work/life balance. If you can keep on top of everything it’s actually a quasi-relaxing schedule. Good luck. P.S. Keep up the good work on your site. I come to it daily. I really enjoy it.

    I agree, the schedule looks fun! I think I would be most excited about food sciences. Are you planning on trying to get in some sort of clinical practice this semester, or just leaving t/r as study days?

    I wish I could plan my schedule, but the classes I have to take are decided for me and thus so is the schedule. That’s why I’m SUPER excited!!

    Emmy,
    Between school, blogging and another project I’m starting soon, I’m keeping my T/TH open for studying. But I hope to get some experience this summer, which as of now, is wide open.

    Awesome about having T/Th off, no 8 am classes, and only one class on Fridays! Hopefully this semester won’t be as stressful. Plus, it looks like you’re taking some interesting classes!
    Good luck with the first day tomorrow! 🙂

    Kath, where did you find the veggiegirl muffin recipe? I looked on her site but didn’t find any quick way of finding it.

    Thanks! 🙂

    That is my favorite couscous by far, but I always add a few mix-ins as well…usually toasted almonds and raisins or dates…plus extra cinnamon. Yum.

    Good luck back at school tomorrow. Tuesday and Thursdays look sweet – I’m sure you’ll need them for studying…Biochem. Have a good night Kath!

    Since your husband likes Alton Brown, he is going to love the knowledge you gain in Food Sci. That was one of my favorite classes in undergrad. It also helps in cooking. Good luck this semester!

    i looooove near east couscous, but i never get it because i’d end up inhaling the whole box. smart thinking to bulk it up with raisins and sunflower seeds! that should give it some more staying power …

    Good luck with your classes this semester! I’m also taking Clinical this spring. Biochem is really interesting. Unlike organic I found it easy to understand, just a lot of memorization. I can give you some good mnemonics for some of the cycles if you need!

    Hi Kath,
    I’m Lainie – I emailed you awhile back (we have a mutual friend you went to Davidson with, and I’m studying to become an RD, too). I just wanted to let you know that I’ve taken both Food Science and Foodservice already…..foodservice was okay – interesting, but not my favorite – but food science was pretty cool. I think you will absolutely love that class – especially the lab (assuming it was similiar to my class). We learned all about different food interactions, and why things do what they do when they are cooked. Good luck with the biochem! You’ll have to let me know how that goes. I’m in microbiology this semester, and them next I’m probably going to take biochem. Not looking too forward to that class….

    Good luck this semester!

    We love the Near East Whole Grain Roasted Garlic Couscous. I actually prepare it by subing a can of roasted garlic or fire roasted tomatoes for the water and adding a can of chickpeas. Top with fresh grated parm or feta. It’s super tasty and quick.

    Meredith ,
    Glad to hear it – that’s what I’m hoping!

    I am excited about Food Science. I do love anything with food 🙂

    Kath- A couple of quick questions when you have time:
    1) the microwave poached egg technique – do you grease the ramekin a little? I’m thinking the egg would stick.
    2) Can you recommend a somewhat healthy treat from GH?
    Good luck with your busy schedule this semester.

    cindy ,
    1) No need to grease b/c there’s water in the cup.

    2) From Matt: Well, most of the muffins are made with whole wheat flour and fruits/veggies, but the amount of sugar in them is a little bit detractive from their healthy benefits. That’s why they call ’em sweets! Still, everything is okay in moderation. I just recommend treating every non-bread item at Great Harvest as a dessert.
