Good afternoon all!  I hope everyone is having a painless Monday.  As you know, I didn’t go to bed until after 2 last night, but once in bed I didn’t fall asleep until after 3!  I don’t know how on earth I managed to wake up at 9am but I think my excitement over breakfast was a factor.

I pan-heated two chicken apple maple sausages.

And put my leftover oven-roasted root veggies into eggs.  I heated 1T SmartBalance Light in a pan, heated the turnips and parsnips, cracked in two eggs, scrambled, and added a small handful of sharp cheddar at the end.

Very tasty!  I will officially say that turnips and parsnips (and whole okra) are a success, they will be entering the regular line up!

After breakfast I hurried to the hospital for my 4hour volunteering shift.  At 20’clock I clocked out and apparently became a cereal magnet.  I used my lunch voucher to buy some granola and skim milk to eat later this week,

and when I got home I found a Kashi coupon and sample in the mail.

In spite of its abundance, I knew that cereal was not going to cut it for lunch.  I spent most of my volunteering time delivering blood and medicine, which means I took the stairs a ton! (when I am taking patients places I obviously only take the elevator)  I decided to give Flat Outs a try with another sandwich.

I know it looks unassuming, but he’s just being modest.

• 1 Flat Out
• homemade honey mustard (1T dijon mustard, 1t honey)
• 6 thin slices turkey
• ~1/2C shredded carrot

This was very satisfying.  I still found the wrap a bit chalky but overall the taste combo was fantabulous.  I totally only ended my lunch with almond butter straight into my mouth for the protein.

It was 100% the 6g of protein in the packet, not that it was maple flavored almond butter, and certainly not that I like squeezing it straight into my mouth 🙂

I am feeling very lucky to have received Justin’s samples, 2 thumbs up!

In just a bit I am going to head out to campus.  Class isn’t until 6:30 but I need to print off the class notes and pick up some forms.  Dinner will be something thrown together because Adam claimed the tofu leftovers, but I am planning on doing some baking tonight!

Foodbuzz Excitement

I couldn’t wait to tell you guys about the excitement I mentioned yesterday – it’s official, my friend Camile and I will be attending the Foodbuzz Blogger Festival in November!!!  We booked our tickets and hotel room yesterday and we are both so excited!  Do you know anyone else who is attending?

Also, I forgot to mention before, but one of my photos was featured on the main page of Foodbuzz the other day.  It’s clearly not a big deal, but the husband was so proud of me he took a screenshot.
