29 September 2014

Breakfast:

Banana, apple, whole wheat toast
(Foods to combat my terrible nausea. Here's hoping it will work!)

And the sickly season begins...

It's the time of the year when I start gulping down sources of vitamin C and taking astralagus root tonics like there's no tomorrow.

Brunch:

Green smoothie* topped w/hemp seeds
(Big boost of vitamin C to combat my cold! Why am I always getting sick?!)

*Green smoothie: spinach, cucumber, peach, mango, OJ, ice

Pre-brunch snack from John:

Homemade chocolate chip walnut cookie

Breakfast:

Apple w/pb

Happy birthday, Katharine!

Breakfast:

Coffee w/chocolate soymilk, apple (didn't eat), mint barley salad, potato slices & roasted veggies, cucumber slices w/pepper, baby carrots

SVU & Chicago P.D. returns!

Breakfast:

Oatmeal w/spinach & cinnamon, sour cream chocolate muffin, potato wedges w/hot sauce, pineapple chunks, coffee
(The best thing about KFC were its potato wedges, but these will do. It's really just the texture that I like.)

Sharks vs Canucks!

Pre-season is starting for ice hockey! I'm just waiting for the first game of the season, when the Sharks play against the Kings. So excited.

Breakfast:

Green smoothie* w/hemp seeds, raisin oat bran muffin, pineapple chunks w/granola
(Forgot that I hated the raisins inside this muffin. The smoothies also filled me up so I didn't get to eat my bowl of fruit and granola.)

*Green smoothie: spinach, pineapple, peach, mango, OJ, ice, banana

22 September 2014

Breakfast:

Watermelon slices, coffee, oatmeal w/spinach, hemp seeds, cinnamon & flaxseeds

(Terrible pain au chocolat but the chocolate bit was still good.)

Happy birthday Kevin!

Brunch:

Tea, plantain chips

19 September 2014

The perils of an (extremely) heavy sleeper: sometimes you miss important things in life and even though you have the opportunity of getting a good night's sleep every night, you purposefully deprive yourself of sleep in order to ensure that you don't accidentally miss a class or meeting.

Baby carrots w/hummus, mint tea, roasted beets & goat cheese salad w/dried cranberries & pumpkin seeds

16 September 2014

Breakfast:

Green smoothie* topped w/hemp seeds, watermelon slice, zucchini muffins
(I was really excited about the zucchini muffins, but they sadly did not have the texture or taste that I was expecting. I guess it was more like spiced sweet bread that was rather dry, although I think they added extra flour because zucchini usually moistens baked goods.)

*Green smoothie: spinach, OJ, peach, banana, mango, strawberries

Happy birthday TK!!!

Breakfast:

Green tea, banana w/pb

14 September 2014

Brunch:

Mint tea w/lemon, mixed fruit w/goji berry granola, spelt croissant

Then after the show, it's the after party. And after the party, it's the [ ] ...

(That lemon pineapple muffin was oh so disappointing. It tasted like neither flavour - just sweet batter.)

12 September 2014

Breakfast:

Black coffee, plantain chips, dark chocolate hob nob, dried jackfruit, ginger tea
(A sweet breakfast to match an ungodly hour.)

Happy birthday Claire!!!

To the only girl I know thus far who believes that age is not just a number.

Breakfast:

Quinoa porridge w/banana slices & cinnamon
(That ten minute walk to the dining hall and additional ten to class versus five minute to class? I'll take the latter.)

04 September 2014

Breakfast:
