Guest Eats Appearance

Hey, good news! The final actually wasn't that bad. Whew. Four down, two to go.

I jumped out of bed this morning and ran to the gym, but it wasn't open. Okay, so I was there 20 minutes before it technically opened, but that's when I usually go because ROTC is there then. But apparently they weren't there today, haha. So I stretched while I waited for it open. I was going to do some HIIT, but my poor little shins weren't feeling it, so I ended up walking for 10, running for 5, and then doing 45 on the elliptical with my physio notes. Good times.

So, without further ado, I present the first ever appearance on this blog of what I eat in the cafeteria. I'm not going to lie, I pretty much eat the same thing everyday. Sure, I vary it up a bit here and there, but I love my hummus and spinach so much that I get it sometimes twice a day. Exciting, right?

I had a lovely dinner date with my best friend, Accounting, so I didn't have to explain any random food picture taking to my friends. Regardless, it was still a stealth picture.

Spinach, carrots, grape tomatoes, pine nuts, artichokes, and, you guessed it, hummus. And yes, you can see that I love hummus so much that it's engulfing the artichokes.

Lucky me, they had homefries!

After reading this delicious post, I had a hankering for homefries. These obviously weren't the best, but hey, at least it's something! Another point on the hummus: they usually have two or three flavors. That day they had regular and basil/pesto hummus. The basil one is my absolute favorite. It's got a great greenish color and a wonderful flavor.

I usually also have some fruit, but their fruit wasn't looking so hot, so I took a pass.

Beautiful, right? ;-)

Well, I'm off to study some more and eat lunch.

Question: What's the one thing you absolutely have to eat everyday? (besides chocolate, haha)

Kale...

I bought a large bag of kale pieces the other day, and I was super excited to eat it in a salad. So I grabbed a bunch, washed it, and plated it with some hummus and horseradish mustard for dipping. And I ate it with my fingers... ;-) It was delicious!It almost tasted like cheesy kale chips, only not crunchy, haha. I also tried the carrots-with-hummus combo; have you tried this? It's soooo delicious! 

In my stocking at Christmas I got one of these:

(as you can see...it met it's demise before the picture was taken...) It was...just okay. There was a lot of pineapple in it and it made for quite a chewy texture. It wasn't my favorite. I still prefer the lemon one. Oh, and by the way, I purchased a jocolat German Chocolate flavor, and I can't wait to try it!

Around the blogosphere:
