Day of Eats and Dinner For One

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?

Scorcher and Killing Birds

Today was another scorcher and I immediatly grabbed an Iced Coffee when I got home from class. I didn't have much of the crack that is hazelnut coffeemate liquid,so I used milk instead and a drizzle of President's Choice Dulce De Leche .

Bliss.

I am in love with the re-usable plastic Sbux cups. It took me forever to find them as I thought the baskets full of them at my local Sbux were just decorative disposable ones ! Definately worth the 14 bucks :)

Apologies for the dark pictures but the weather was all kinds of wacky today. Sun one minute, then dark and cloudy , then earthquake!

Really!

In an attempt to prove a friend that pillowy , lush mashed potatoes could be had without all the fat, I made these.

At the time I thought I also killed two birds with one stone so to speak . Thinking it could be a Fat Swap , but alas, they want you to use fruit puree and such or one of their sample recipes ( at least to my knowledge ) so I will try again.

At least I showed my friend AND got mashed potatoes which are a big favorite of mine.


I used 4 large Smart Spud potatoes

They apparently have fewer carbs than other potatoes but I buy them mostly because they come in a mesh bag rather than a paper one.

2 1/2 tbsp of Becel Light
1 1/2 tbsp of Fat Free Sour Cream
2 tbsp of Fat Free Philadelphia Cream cheese

Add ,mash . Add salt and pepper and voila . Yummy, creamy , full of flavor but doesn't have half and half or butter.

What do you do to make old favorites a bit healthier?

Procastination Methods

I didn't want to deal with this :

So I procrastinated.

By doing this :

Scaaaaaaaaaaared me.

Blah me.

Seeeeerious Me.

Bathroom photography at it's finest.

Unfortunately when I re-emerged from the bathroom , the laundry fairies hadn't arrived yet. So I procrastinated some more with some coffee.

And then I finally threw a load in .

I celebrated with a wrap .

Pre-rolled or wrapped:

Thinly sliced fat-free honey ham

Sprinkle of the Mexican cheese blend from yesterday

Leftover lettuce and baby spinach from yesterday

Reduced fat Hellmann's

All wrapped up , although hastily ,and tighting gripped in my paw. Delicious even if it was breakfast :)

Are you a procrastinator?

What do you most often procrastinate on doing?
