Sadly, Time to Go Home

Midnight Snack

So even though the kitchen was technically closed for the night, we got to playing some bananagrams and decided to make a midnight snack: quesadillas!

I used hummus instead of cheese and put cilantro, black pepper, and garlic powder on the inside. Oh, and a little guac for dipping of course.
It was so tasty! Who needs cheese??

Breakfast

The next morning I started with a mug of the usual java: hazelnut and soy.
Dad was eating an eggy breakfast sandwich and making it look ridiculously good. I followed suit and made myself a breakfast sandwich that gave his a run for it's money.
Toasted cracked wheat sourdough with

• hummus
• green onions
• grilled eggplant
• tomatoes
• cucumbers
• avocado
• salt and pepper

To round things out I used some homemade grape juice (Mom's idea!) to take this bone health packet. I tasted like a smoothie!

Lunch

It was finally coming time for me to get on the road and go back to Santa Barbara but, as usual, I found a clever way to stall: eat lunch! I had the last of the mushroom and spinach risotto, some split pea soup, and walnut wheat sourdough toast with roasted garlic hummus.
I also had a 5 hour energy with lunch for an extra boost before hitting the road.
A little dessert was some spoonfuls of this amazing raspberry sorbet right out of the container!
Snack

Not pictured for driving safety are some cucumbers, crystalized ginger pieces, a chocolate brownie Z Bar, and an apple that I snacked on while I drove down.

Dinner

When I finally made it back I met my brother and his buddies and a local burrito joint. This is an iPhone picture sorry about the quality! My burrito was a whole wheat tortilla filled with:

• rice
• black beans
• guacamole
• cilantro
• onions
• salsa verde
• pico de gallo
• lettuce

I sliced it in half and put the other half away before I even had a chance to argue with myself!
After kickin it with my brother and his buddies I retreated to my apartment and enjoyed a bowl of my favorite cereal.
I was so tired by the end of the night I slept so hard!

Best Breakfast EVER!

I thought I was being lame when I only did the first four on this card but later that day I was feelin it in my arms! I did two sets of each and it really did work! This morning I woke up and did the next four, also two sets each.

Breakfast

This breakfast makes me feel like my life is good :) How can a simple thing like breakfast do that, you ask? I'll tell you!

I used Savannah's George Forman Grill and cooked up:

• scallions
• mushrooms
• red bell peppers
• vegan breakfast sausage

While everything was grilling I smothered one piece of bread with hempseed hummus and a sprinkle of chicken seasoning and the other slice with avocado. Then I loaded up the bread and grilled everything together!
While that was grilling I used my electric citrus juice to make fresh orange juice!

Breakfast Panini with the works, fresh squeezed orange juice, green tea, and gummy vites. This Breakfast Rocks!!! I could have ordered this from a restaurant it's so good!

Uh! I just can't get over it!
Today I am singing the two pieces I plan on singing for juries in studio and I have no chance to warm-up before. I've been singing in the kitchen all morning haha!

It's another long day today but I am all juiced up and it's Friday anyways!!

Happy Friday!!!!

Thursday is So the Time to Get Pumped!

Before choir Savannah and I got some tea. I brought a bag of throat coat from home (yesss ten points for being prepared!). I ate my carrots while we sat and gossiped.

I didn't sing last night in choir but instead just sat and followed along with my music. At break time I had this Peanut butter pretzel Mojo Bar.

After the audition (which was after choir and the reason I was saving what's left of my poor voice) I came home and heated up some dinner. Chili/ Stew, corn bread, butta and honey! The chili is even better the next night I think and it's gotten spicier and more chili like.
There was barely anything left of my chocolate coconut milk ice cream so I filled 'er up with granola and frozen berries. ...I have a serious sweet tooth problem and I think it's specifically a night time thing. I'm starting to get really frustrated with myself for messing up my whole day with sweets at night. I declare right here and now that tonight I will not have a dessert simply to prove to myself that I don't need one! That doesn't mean I won't have a little something sweet during the day maybe but tonight, I don't need to go over board and have three mugs of granola....gah!
This morning I let myself sleep in till 8:30. I'm having my allergies retested in less than a week which means that I'm not supposed to take anything with antihistamines in it. No big right? Yeah, unless you're me lol. It's annoying right now to be back in sneeze-face-ville but if it means getting my allergies figured out for good, it's a small price to pay! Anyways, I made a rather tasty breakfast this morning if I do say so myself. These are some veggie protein patties I picked up the other day.
I love this chicken spice! Again, no worries, it's totally chicken free. I just really like the combination of spices. I sprayed the pan lightly with cooking oil and cooked two of these little patties till they browned.
I heated up some frozen berries for just 45 seconds and made a fruit salad with banananananana. It's a coffee morning today. VIA medium roast, squirt of agave, regular soy milk: perfect! Oh, and gummy vites of course!
On the bread I spread a thin layer of tahini and sprinkled it with salt pepper and paprika. Simple is GOOD.

That rating on the sausages, by the way,...they taste like artificial meat which is sort of unavoidable but with the right spices and the combination of the bread and tahini they are pretty tasty. I'd recommend them to other Vegos but not to meat eaters....they'd be like, 'what is this???'

Boy, I am sore! Alex and Aaron worked me out gooood yesterday! My obliques are especially 'engaged' now in every movement I make lol. I love it though, feeling sore the next day is like your body saying, "Raaawwrr!! I worked outt rawwwrraaww!" Obviously working out turns you into a ware-wolf hahaha...

People it's Thursday!! Do you know what that means? 3 important things: It's voice lesson day, it's only one more day till Friday and Shabbos, and then the weekend!!! And this weekend is going to be bomb because it's a three day weekend!

So basically, get pumped!
