This morning I decided to forego the granola on top of my oats, but everything else was consistent. I put half a banana in the oats and cinnamon while cooking and ate the other half as they cooked. I added some ground flax on top with a spoonful of creamy natural pb.
Around 11:30 I had an apple for a snack – I chopped it up into slices though. I like to eat my fruit in pieces.
I had an in person INTERVIEW today. AND, I had a company call for a preliminary phone interview for another position. It makes me feel better than I am at least getting some progress made – it’s been a long time of looking and applying and not hearing anything.
I think I must have gotten giddy from all the interviews, because I never really got hungry for lunch. I ended up making this salad at 2:30 PM because I needed to eat. It was made with spinach, cucumbers, kidney beans, avocado, and beets.
Now I realize why I usually take pictures before the dressing. It just doesn’t look as good once the dressing it on.
For a lunch side item I had this SF pudding pack with pecans. I really liked the crunch in the pudding and they added some protein and fat to the pudding.
For dinner I wanted to use up some tofu I had in the fridge so I just paired it with some other things…cous cous, and steamed veggies with shoyu. Ended up being quite the balanced meal.
Here’s another angle. 
I’ll probably have a snack later. Plans are to watch The Graduate because.. gasp… I haven’t seen it.

Nice looking day
How did you cook your tofu, i’m pretty new to tofu and would love to hear ideas!!
Your dinner looks mighty tasty, especially the veggies. Great idea to add healthy fat/protein to your pudding.
wow, tasty eats today! i’ve never seen the graduate either… it’s on the list
OMG – One of the GREATEST films of all freaking time and SO perfect for our age group! Ahh *sigh* I totally wish I were seeing it for the first time tonight… Simply amazing
Enjoy it boo!
Haha, I always take photos of my salads before I add the dressing, too!
Yay for the interview and company call!
I swear your oatmeal gets prettier every day.
And I’m with you on the dressing, it definitely “uglifies” many a salad. Such a shame!
CONGRATS on the interviews. That’s great progress. I hope something works out!
And just out of curiousity, what kind of camera do you use? Your pictures are so clear…
Gosh, you always have such gorgeous interviews! I love the flax in that oatmeal pic and that tofu looks mouthwateringly good!
Congrats on the interview! That’s definitely a step in the right direction, and I wish you the best of luck!
I’ve never seen The Graduate, either!
ahh I’m out of tofu and I’m going crazyyyyyyy…and your not helping! haha just kidding…that meal looks insanely good!!!
have I ever told you how pretty your oatmeal bowls look? with granola or sans?! delisssssh
Happy Thursday lady!
Congrats in the interviews!
How did you cook that tofu, it looks so tasty!
Again, lovely photos. Have I asked what kind of camera you use? These are just amazing.
I love all of your plants in the background of that apple. Do you have a backyard in Richmond? I long for a backyard someday.
suzanne – I cook my tofu different ways, usually either stir fry or bake. For this particular meal I used the baking method and I have my recipe posted here. You should definitely try it – just make sure you buy the extra firm or firm tofu. The silken or soft tofu is better used for dessert recipes or smoothies.
ttfn300- It had been on my list for a while as well. Sadly, I fell asleep last night and didn’t get to finish it. I will probably finish it today.
Julz – So far the amount I have watched has been really good. I was just too tired and we started the movie late. I’ll finish it today.
Kristie- Thank you for the oatmeal comment and the congratulations on the interviews. I use a Kodak Easyshare v1003 with 10 mega pixels. I’ve had it for over a year and now I think they have a new version so it’s been discontinued- but if a store still has it in stock you can get it for around 150.00.
eatingbender- Thank you – you always have such sweet comments.
Has anyone you ever told that you haven’t seen The graduate
been like “YOU HAVE TO SEE IT”…. thats how it was for me.
glidingcalm- Oh no… tofu withdrawal- get some more soon!! Thank you- have a happy Thursday as well!
Christie I – Thanks for the congrats. I have the recipe I use posted here. Enjoy!
Rose – Thanks. I use a Kodak Easyshare v1003 with 10 mega pixels (in brown… not that that matters). I’ve had it for over a year and now I think they have a new version so it’s been discontinued- but if a store still has it in stock you can get it for around 150.00.
I do have a backyard. We will in a duplex so we share it with the girls downstairs, but its pretty large and we have a back deck all to ourselves. It was a definite plus because we moved from a renovated warehouse apt. that didn’t have any sunlight or windows that opened!!
