Makeshift

Don’t try this at home…

unless, of course, you want to make a delicious sandwich.

Sesame ezekiel bread, spinach, red onion, tomato, hummus, avocado, and pepper jack cheese grilled to perfection. I used the tea kettle and an extra pot to put pressure on the sandwich. Miraculously it stayed balanced and the sandwich turned out great!

Besides whipping up homemade panini presses in my spare time I’ve also been playing around with my new camera lens.

Oats a cookin’.

Oats for eatin’ – with chia seeds, almond butter and a lonely fig. For some reason, maybe because I haven’t had banana oats in a while, this bowl of oats was particularly delicious.

Lunch today was quickly tossed together – sauteed zucchini and onions

and a gourmet spinach salad with roasted beets, wheat berries, cherry tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, and a blob (I just typed blog) of hummus.

Amazing!

After running 3 miles with a bunch of women in skirts this afternoon all I could think about were crispy sweet potato fries.

I had a big plate of them for dinner because sometimes, fries are just what you need!

I have quite of bit of stuff on my mind tonight so I apologize for such a short and simple post. I promise to have more exciting and useful content ASAP. Until then…

To the Finals we will go…

by eatingbirdfood on March 8, 2009

It was so warm out today. I went for a run outside and it was quite toasty. I was wishing I had worn shorts instead of capri leggings. The whole time I was running/sweating profusely I kept thinking of heading directly to Smoothie King after the run to get a cool smoothie. Then I realized I should just make my own. That I did:

ABB: Almond, Banana, and Blueberry Smoothie

  • 1 frozen banana
  • ¾ cup frozen blueberries
  • 1 Tbsp. Better n’ PB
  • 1 Tbsp. roasted almonds
  • 3 cubes of ice
  • 1/2 almond milk

I put all the ingredients in the vita-mix and blended on high for about 1 minute. The smoothie looked a little thick so I added another splash of almond milk and blended it again for a few seconds. I LOVED this smoothie! I would have to say that’s it’s one of the best smoothies I’ve ever made.

Time slipped away from me and I never made it to the grocery store, but we did go to the Mason v. Towson game. AND WE WON!?! This means we play in the finals tomorrow against VCU at 7:00.

After the game I was starving! We decided to go to Capital Ale House for dinner. I ordered the black bean burger and subbed the fries for a house salad (minus the croutons- I gave those to Isaac for a snack). It was the smallest salad ever=lame.

They apparently forgot about the subbing and brought me the fries anyway. I ate a few but passed the majority over to Isaac and his Popa.

I love that their black bean burger isn’t just a frozen patty heated up… it’s awesome!

We played a little wii bowling tonight and I have to tell you guys I’m totally pumped because I am officially at pro level now.

I’m sleepy! I want to workout in the morning since we will be heading straight to the game after work tomorrow so I should really hit the hay right now. BUT….I have to wait for my laundry to dry.. dang it. So as soon as the clothes are dry I’m heading to bed.

Have a great week my friends!
