Happy Friday everyone! Today is even more special because it is 9/11.
So far I have had 2 out of my 4 classes and I already feel as if I’m not going to have enough time to do all of the reading that is required. It is actually quite ridiculous. I probably won’t have a life. But I do enjoy the subject matter so it won’t be TOO terrible!
After class, I came home & made dinner for my sister and I. Tonight I made us Turkey Burgers, Corn on the Cob, Sauteed string beans, carrots, & garlic.
It looks like there are hardly any string beans and carrots because I was eating them as I was cooking the rest of the food. So when it was time to put them on my plate, there was a little problem! Also, this corn was SO good! It is either from NY or NJ and I bought it from Whole Foods. Thankfully, I have 3 more pieces in the fridge!
Really good Turkey Burger. I ended up topping some of it with Ketchup and some of it with Tex-Mex Hummus. Loved it!
After dinner, I had some more Newman’s Own Organics Dark Chocolate & I also tried out ANOTHER Newman’s Own Organics product…Cinnamon Hermits made with Newman’s Own Organics Raisins and Organic Molasses. I had very high expectations for these.
They lived up to their expectations. The only thing that I wish would be that they were a TAD bit bigger. But I’m not complaining because they were still veryyyy tasty! I had the Cinnamon flavor but they also come in Original and Ginger. If you have never tried these out before, I would definitely give them a try. The ingredients list is nice and short too: Organic Unbleached Wheat Flour, Organic Raisins, Organic Molasses, Organic Sugar, Organic Palm Fruit Oil, Oats, Organic Figs, Raisin Paste, Cinnamon and other Spices, Leavening (Baking Soda, Monocalcium Phosphate), Salt, Rice Bran Extract.
So you can feel pretty good about eating these!
I spent a lot of time last night trying to keep up with some reading and other assignments & I decided to call it a night around midnight.
This morning I woke up to very dreary, cold, and wet weather. It would have been a perfect day for hot oatmeal, but I already had a bowl of overnight oats waiting for me. Oh well!
This concoction was of course, my favorite one… Banana-Date Overnight Oats with Flax!
It was so creamy and delicious! Along with the overnight oats, I had a cup of Green Tea and a Gala Apple with Cinnamon.
Now I am just relaxing, catching up on the blog, & watching Regis & Kelly. When I’m finished here, I’m going to clean up the kitchen and get down to work with reading if I don’t fall asleep!
Later on I plan to make some split pea soup, veggie black bean chili, and maybe some black bean burgers that I can freeze for some quick dinners! I also plan to go to the gym at some point today to run 4 miles. But first I must get a good chunk of reading done. That just reminded me…yesterday when I was running, some lady was running while reading the newspaper. Yes, you read it correctly. Weird huh? Real safe too.
I will catch ya all later! 😛
