Leftovers and a snack

For dinner I sauteed two plum tomatoes (chopped), garlic, red onions, and spinach in some EVOO with oregano, thyme, basil, lemon juice, and lemon seasoning.  I added this to my leftovers from last nights dinner, which was about a cup of whole wheat penne pasta, a couple broccoli florets, and not many diced tomatoes.  It was better than last night’s dinner!  I forgot to take a picture of it :-(  I was in a hurry to go to my boyfriend’s house.  I packed some snacks to take with me…3/4 cup Ezekiel 4:9 whole grain golden flax cereal, 3/4 cup almond milk, lots of veggies (cucumber slices, tomato slices, carrots, and celery), 1/4 cup (2 oz) of the hummus I made this afternoon, and 1 square of Endangered species supreme dark chocolate!  The cereal was great.  There is no sugar, so it’s definitely not sweet, but there’s something I love and enjoy about when a food is so wholesome and natural.  It feels so good!  The hummus was okay.  It could use more flavor, but I have a whole jar of tahini to get the recipe down!  Have a Happy Easter everyone!

 

Dinner

Dinner was pretty simple and filling!  I made some whole wheat penne (1 cup cooked) with a cup broccoli, a cup of diced tomatoes, a cup of chickpeas, sauteed onions and garlic, tsp EVOO, lemon seasoning, pepper, basil, thyme, and oregano.  I also had a salad (not pictured) with tomatoes, cuc, and onions with a tiny bit of balsamic vinegar.  I am not really big on dressings.  Oil and vinegar is my favorite!  I bought some tahini to make hummus with tomorrow, Ezekiel bread (100% whole grain), Ezekiel cereal, and Bob’s Red Mill Wheat Germ.  Can’t wait to try the Ezekiel products!! sorry for the terrible pictures

 

Home sweet home

I am very happy to be home but very sad to realize that some of my pictures have not been posting!  I have a macbook at school, and I was able to see them all on there.  At home on a dell they aren’t there.  Hmmm. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong, but I might try blogspot?  Anyways, I had a pre-workout snack that was rather large at 370 calories! before the gym.  It was a slice of whole wheat bread with 2 Tbsp natural creamy peanut butter and a Tbsp of honey.  Sooooo good.  One of my favorites I got in a nice and easy workout of 10 minutes treadmill 40 min ET low resistance and slow (-489 kcal).  I read some of Superfoods Healthstyle while exercising, and it made the time fly!  I normally do this on my lighter workout days.  I came home and made myself another half of PB and honey sandwich because it was soo good only this time with 1 Tbsp of PB and cinnamon!  Deeelish!  Also, I had a salad of romaine lettuce with carrots, tomatoes, peas, dried cranberries, and some EVOO and apple cidar vinegar to dress it!  Yummy!  I made a cup of decaf green tea as well.  Today net about 1350, and balanced my major nutrients well!  Off to the boyfriend’s after the Penguin’s hockey game that I’ve missed most of
