Day of Eats and Dinner For One

Align Center

I think this is my first day of complete eats. Not completely sure, but anyways, this is everything I ate today.

I started with Starbucks Dark Roast something or other , brewed with love by the bf and added Hazelnut Coffeemate and sweetner.


And then took various pictures of it , rather than drinking it.



Lunch/breakfast, was this luscious bowl of oats.

In the Bowl:

1/2 cups Bob's Organic Old Fashioned Oats ( yey i got more. Steel Cut oats are NOT the same)
3/4 cup of water
1/2 a banana save a few slices for on top
pinch of salt
dash of vanilla

I was not lazy this time and cooked it on the stove top . I cooked most of the banana save for the slices on top, with the oats.
It made ALL the difference.
Stove top oats are so much better. I do hate washing the extra dish/pot though.

I topped these oats with a few fresh blueberries, some Blue Diamond Almond Butter and a couple slices of banana, and some PC Omega 3 Granola.


Blue Diamond Almond Butter is not my favorite but I am trying to eliminate nut butters before I purchase even more, and it's ok for oats. Definately not spreadable.
These oats were soooo creamy and delicious, yet chewy and not liquidy and such which i hate !

I purchased these items yesterday at the teensy health food store at the mall.

Vega Wholefood Smoothie packet, and a Berry Crush and Acai Energy drink packet . I love the berry one for after yoga or mid lecture. Even though I only have about 4 lectures left before I' m done school !
I also grabbed a Banana Larabar.



Loved it.

So far I love : Coconut Cream, Pb and J and Banana .
Hate : Cocoa Chew, Apple Pie, Cherry Pie




While making dinner I "made" Banana Soft Serve in my sad excuse for a blender.
It may be a ghetto blender but it crushes ice and it never lets me down.
Random Fact : No appliance in my house ever has near the correct time.
I missed the part where the banana is meant to be frozen?
So i blended for nothing and then when i realized it was far too easy , it was too late. Its in the freezer now but I am doubtful.
I even had frozen banana in the freezer but I guess my head was just not in it.


This was dinner.
2 tortillas , folded in half for sturdiness.
1 :
pasta sauce : vine ripened tomatos, garlic, onions, mushroom and spinach w/ marble cheddar and spinach
2: PC organic salsa w/ marble cheddar and spinach



And on the side the other half of the batard (?) from last nite's dinner, spread with i cant believe its not butter light and garlic powder pre toast over bake.






It was gooey. I could not manage to eat it all unfortunately .





What's your favorite dinner for one?

Chicken Parm and Alcoholic Chocolate Bars


While I cooked last night bf tried out a couple of these guys. They are made by Cadbury ( sold at lcbo though) and are so rich and delicious. Too rich for me but he liked them.






I cooked some chicken breast pieces dipped in egg and Italian breadcrumbs in a skillet while the sauce simmered.




I tossed some fettucine noodles with an obscene amount of melted butter , garlic and mozzerella cheese.


I assembled the sauce and chicken breast pieces, topped it with some cheese and baked for 25 minutes.
Oh so good and probably oh so horrible for you too.


I also made Buttermilk Cheese Biscuits from Our Best Bites.

I altered the recipe a bit as I didn't have buttermilk and wasn't comfortable using real butter. I also used really old white cheddar cheese instead of orange. These are really good and hold up well. Not crumbly like Red Lobster Biscuits but similar in flavor .

Well , that's all I've got right now. I hope everyone had a good weekend :)
