The Last Day of September
Posted by: Amanda on: September 30, 2008
I can’t believe it’s the last day of September already. Where has this year gone?? Christmas is practically just around the corner.
As a mid-morning snack I had string cheese while taking a break from working on my Ebook.
For lunch I made a bagel sandwich with hummus, spinach, and tomato. I also had a [...]

I had a hard time deciding between oatmeal and quinoa flakes this morning. Finally I settled on oatmeal since I’ve just had quinoa flakes two days in a row. Time for something different. I made it the usual way with soy milk and cinnamon, topped with banana and walnuts.
The perfect bite:
Have a good [...]

While Dancing with the Stars was on tonight, I had part of a blueberry flax muffin as a snack:
My stash in the freezer is almost gone already. Boo.

For lunch this afternoon I made a turkey sandwich with hummus, rice “cheese,” tomato, and avocado. On the side I had our last plum:
Our neighbor has a gorgeous plum tree in his backyard, and to our dismay, he didn’t do ANYTHING with them this year. He just let them all rot on the tree! What [...]
Banana on Top
Posted by: Amanda on: September 29, 2008
For breakfast today I made quinoa flakes with soy milk. Instead of cooking the banana into the mixture on the stove, I decided to add it on top. I think I like it better that way. I also sprinkled my bowl with walnuts (healthy fats!).
This morning I had another appointment with my nutritionist. When [...]

For dinner tonight we had a chicken and veggie stir fry which included broccoli, green beans, carrots, water chestnuts (eww gross – I picked mine out!), red bell pepper, and cashews all on top of rice. On the side we had fruit salad.
Later, while The Amazing Race was on, I made a smoothie. [...]

For breakfast today I decided to have the same thing that I had last Sunday. It held me over in church last week, so I figure, why mess with a good thing, right?
I made quinoa flakes on the stove with soy milk and banana. On top is some crumbled granola plank – the last of [...]

Tonight for dinner I had an Amy’s Bistro burger with tomato and avocado, black olives, and fruit salad on the side. Here’s a pic taken after I had started eating:
Black olives always remind me of when I was little and we would eat at my grandparents house. Whoshee (my grandmother) would frequently have black olives [...]
Work Day Food
Posted by: Amanda on: September 28, 2008
What a long day. I’m glad to be home.
After I arrived at work, I snacked on part of a blueberry flax muffin. Here’s a pic I took earlier when I defrosted it at home:
These muffins smell divine when warmed up in the microwave – so sweet and blueberry-ey. I love them.
Here’s what [...]

Good morning once again and happy Saturday! Today is a beautiful day – the sky is blue and the sun is shining. I just know that it’s going to stay this nice for my birthday this year. I just know it.
For breakfast today I had what is becoming my all-time favorite: overnight swiss oats made [...]
