Food Time

All that hooplah for snow this weekend and we got a dusting.  As much as I’m disappointed, I’m not since well, that means no snow on the ground to keep me from work!  Bah!  Otherwise, current dusting that was gone within hours other than on the North facing slopes…no sun exposure!

Sunday was spent indoors and I finally made something different for breakfast: French Toast!  I know that I am trying to stay vegan, but I am trying to use up things in the fridge and well, how do you make French toast without eggs, right? I mixed an egg white with USVAB, cinnamon and vanilla over two pieces of bakery bread.  I sautéed up an apple afterwards with some extra vanilla and cinnamon.  Add in a layer of pb and a tiny bit of raspberry jelly and presto!  Awesome breakfast!

Unfortunately it made me sick…eggs maybe?  They hadn’t gone bad and there have been times before where I’ve gone without eggs for a bit so I’m a bit worried…I had always liked my eggs to help settle my stomach, not upset it!

The rest of Sunday was a blur and nothing worth noting, other than I missed an awesome blogger meetup in LA.  Sadness…next time!  I promise ladies!

This morning I woke up absolutely famished! I was smart enough to soak some mixed breakfast oats the night before with some cinnamon and vanilla and cooked them up, topped with diced apple before adding pb and the remaining apple slices on top. This upset my stomach too…weird?  Oats and Eggs?  Cut them out (not the oats intentionally) and my stomach is pissed?  Thoughts?

I then headed out to the field where I was presented with signs of spring…(see the ORANGE!?  YAY!!!)

And winter…so odd to be right next to each other!  At least spring is making face now!

By the time I returned home I was so hungry I could have eaten my arm.  And legs.  And everything in sight.  I made a leftover’s salad with the following:

• Roasted veggies
• Chickpeas
• Marinara
• Carrots
• Tomatoes
• Cucumber
• Spring Mix/Spinach

And finished with a sweet treat of a Banana Chocolate Chip Walnut Muffin.  Def put me a bit more overboard on the fullness scale than I would have liked.  But I needed chocolate.

Whit was coming back from up north so before leaving to see him and get some shopping done, I snacked on an orange, cashews and chocolate chips you can’t see…hehe.

I had the intention of finding a pair of jeans that I don’t’ have to use in the field, since all I have are field jeans, but no such luck, and I seriously tried on at least 20 pairs.  So frustrating, and the emotions didn’t hold over well either.  I was lucky enough to be texting Mara for some moral support.  It also helps to have a supportive boyfriend waiting for you after it all.  I did end up coming home with a bathing suit though…it looks like this, and totally NOT a bikini.  I felt so much more confident wearing this one!  The pants will have to wait..because I absolutely hate them.

By the time I got to Whit he was hungry and ready for dinner, so we headed out to Mimi’s where I got a veggie pesto sandwich with a side of fruit.  I ate all the fruit and half the sandwich.  Nothing to rave over, since it was drenched in butter and I forgot to ask them to omit it.  Boo.

I returned home a bit early since my poor boy was sick with a raging headache, enough to debilitate him and send him straight to bed…I’m sure I’ll see him this week sometime though.

I snacked on a few lots of dried kiwi slices and a few more cashews before getting ready to hit the hay before work tomorrow and a sweet tempo run I’ve got planned!  Yay!

I’ll have my HS Senior Year post up tomorrow! It was too late to get it up tonight!!!
