A Very Busy Mind

Hello, hello!

Busy day, my friends, busy day.  Knockin’ out job application stuff like crazy, and I’m about to run some errands before gymming, so I gotta make this snappy.

*******

Somehow I totally spaced on snapping a photo of lunch yesterday.  Woopsies.  You don’t mind starting with

Dessert

do you?

soooooo-ho-ho random.  Randomness has actually been a common theme lately.  Groceries are running on the low side.

^That’s pumpkin, cottage cheese, honey, cinnamon, Multigrain Cheerios, and some m&m knock-offs that I picked out of some trail mix.

Snackage

apple-pear hybrid wedgies, cottage chez + cinnamon

I decided to forgo my planned gym trip yesterday in favor of a walk outdoors with my other doggie, Buck.  Keep forgetting to take pics of him, but he’s a German Shepherd mix. 

When I got home, I decided I had better use up some fresh veg I had in the fridge, or it was going to go bad.

asparagus, zucchini, and squash

and cauliflower.  everything was sprayed with olive oil cooking spray and sprinkled with salt and pepper, then tossed around a bit before being popped into the oven at 450* for 20 minutes (thank you, Danielle, for explaining veggie-roasting to me ).

Post-roast (<—poet and didn’t know it)

gloriousness

I woke up excited about these, I shit you not. (<—weird saying)

While dem veggies were doin their thang in the oven, I whipped up something else.

Dinner

was freakin’ good

 

steamed italian blend veggies + split pea soup, topped with melty cheddar cheese and rosemary & olive oil crackas

For whatever reason, all these flavors blended together so well.

seriously good stuff

Dessert

Apparently, my go-to substitute for greek yogurt (I’m out!  Wah!) is cottage cheese…

^that’s drizzled with honey

then I topping-ed the shit out of it

cereals + granola

It was no yogurt mess, but still pretty dang good.

Breakfast

the usual fruit shot in peanut butter oats

predictable, I know

it’s plum & berries

again, toppings out the yin-yang

cereals + ground flaxseed

***topped the oats with milk this morning and really liked it!  Actually, I’ve done it the past three days, but I really noticed the creaminess this morning for some reason.***

really good batch of oats this morning!

Lunch

I could not wait for some roasted veg in my life today!  (there’s hummus under there, and that’s southwest mustard)

forgot to snap a pic before I wrapped up the tortilla, but I added pumpkin seed to the asparagus

and (obviously) added a side salad

the salad had a homemade dressing on it, but it was entirely too runny (see that pool of it near the bottom of the wrap?), so I added straight-up honey mustard to it after about 3 bites

Dessert

I made some almond butter sauce (almond butter + milk) a la Kath to start.  Again, too runny, but it was my first try.

cottage cheese, honey, cinnamon, almond butter sauce…I’m not even gonna try to defend this.  It really was good, but it admittedly looks disgusting.

Wait, I’m not even done showing you the whole creation yet.

Better?

Multigrain Cheerios and Kashi Go Lean Almond Crunch (that may or may not be exact name…can’t remember and too lazy to go look) were the toppings

Gotta jet, but before I go…
