Happy Wednesday! I’m finally done with 2 of my finals, so my schedule has opened up a bit so I have time to blog! I’ve been so far behind on sharing food pics with you guys! Good thing it’s What I Ate Wednesday!
I promise I’ve actually been eating things besides chocolate chip cookies lately!
A burrito bowl with salmon.
A whole wheat pancake with Greek yogurt and fruit.
Giant containers of vegetable soup.
On Friday, I baked Hamentaschen, a traditional Jewish cookie made on Purim, to sell and donate the proceeds to charities my sorority supports. They’re basically jam cookies, and they came out really well!
I definitely bought a couple on Sunday! So delicious! And they revived my Bio-slaughtered brain in the middle of my studying marathon.
Cottage cheese with sunflower seed butter and berries.
x2.
Since Friday was Pi day (3.14), I made my own contribution to the cause in the form of a mini-sort of pie.
The “crust” was sunflower seed butter, banana, oats, and vanilla. Which is a delicious combo!
Topped with berry compote:
I actually wasn’t a fan of the combo, and opted to separate the berries and the “crust.”
Friday night I went a bit overboard at the Whole Foods hot/salad bar and made a massive plate. At least I thought to get a box to take some home!
This salad was insanely epic. It included all kinds of delicious veggies-shredded beets, cauliflower, marinated mushrooms, a bit of guacamole. I topped it with some apple cider vinegar and olive oil. And on the very top is Chicken Masala and a lentil dish. SO delicious.
Another study snack.
Brunch-a salad with beans, rice, and salsa plus a biscuit.
Lunch from the Grad school cafeteria while studying. I decided to go somewhere different to study for a change! This salad had an apple cider vinaigrette, and included egg, artichoke hearts, cauliflower, roasted sweet potatoes, and golden raisins.
Another burrito bowl dinner tonight, plus brussels sprouts and mushroom gratin on the side. The bowl was beans, fresh salsa, mango salsa, cheese, corn, and TONS of salmon. I think there were like 2 fishes worth of salmon in there! The gratin was SO good. I may need to recreate this sometime at home!
And now we’re all caught up!
What’s your favorite way to eat brussels sprouts?
I am offended you get to eat such amazing food on campus. ASU literally has a fryo shop, subway, and bunch of other random mini restaurants INSIDE the cafeteria. Random right? No other campus I’ve been to does that instead of a proper servery. My favorite way to eat brussels is roasting the beegebus out of them, until they are nicely browned and super crispy 😀
I REALLY want roasted Brussels sprouts right now! Wow, that must get boring…at least there is froyo though!
Wow!! It looks like you’ve been having some great options! I love those salads! They all look so delicious!! As does that smoothie!! I’ve been on a bit of a smoothie kick myself lately!! And 14 miles!! Props to you!! 🙂
It’s something about the warming weather that brings out the smoothie cravings!
Brussels are best roasted with bacon, olive oil, salt, pepper, and balsamic!
Yumm
It’s finals week and your food looks better than my regular week, haha!! 🙂 Seriously, those salads look AMAZING!! That’s what I call a perfect variety. Yum.
I’m also digging chocolate as a snack. That flavor looks delicious. I’ve been eating a bit of 85% dark right now, actually, haha 🙂 Yes, I’m eating chocolate after breakfast for no reason 🙂
Haha there’s nothing wrong with that! I’ve been known to eat dark chocolate in the morning to help wake me up…85% is the best too!
