Check out my progress on Awaiting My Arrival
I just got off the phone with my mom, and she informed me of all the things awaiting my arrival at home. Not only was she kind enough to pick up some Broccoli Hut essentials (e.g., Light ‘n Lively cottage cheese, apples, and veggies), but she also alerted me that the newest issue of Clean Eating arrived in the mailbox today. I can’t wait to read the mag from cover to cover and to put all that food to good use:) I head home on Friday morning though, so I must still trudge through classes tomorrow. What are you looking forward to this weekend?
Today’s eats were even weirder than normal–think tofu for breakfast and peanut butter & pickles. Check ‘em out below:
Tuesday
This shake was thick and delicious, and I didn’t even have to add ice cream. It’s amazing what a crap-ton of frozen peaches can do for texture and taste.

Wednesday
I’ve made Marianne‘s magical tofudding before, and this morning’s rendition was just as delicious as my previous tofudding experiments. I’m thinking coconut butter might be a tasty addition to my next one…

You may recall that I made The Elvis sandwich (with tempeh bacon) last week, and I mentioned that I was toying with the idea of trying another Peanut Butter and Company Cookbook sandwich idea–The Pregnant Lady. Although the cookbook suggested bread and butter pickles, I tried it with dill because, well, I like dill pickles A LOT. My taste buds must be into freaky flavors lately–this combination was fantastic! What’s your favorite PB sandwich combination?
Pregnant Lady sandwich; grapes; salad with kidney beans
PB & pickles!
Dinner this evening was a bit of a smorgasbord. I found some leftover Amy‘s split pea soup in the freezer, then I dug around in the cupboards and found a sweet potato…and the randomness only continued thereafter. Nonetheless, it was quite a delicious and colorful meal, just the way I like it:)

the creeper salt shaker decided to show up
Off to attempt to do homework. Later, lovelies.

Oh my gosh, my BF is in love with PB and pickle sammies. She would die if she saw this post.
I’ve never tried the combo, but I love pickles and I love PB, so why wouldn’t I love them together, right?
Hope you are having a great week!
Wow. PB and Pickles? I am a HUGE pickle lover, I think I could live on them if I had to but, I have never had this type of sandwich. You use dill right? Verrry interesting….I am looking forward to heading home this weekend too. Can’t wait for some good homecooked food. I hope you enjoy yours!
“Pregnant Lady” sandwich, HAHA! Have you been watching Brian Boitano and having success with his tips??
That salt shaker=cutest thing ever.
And I am intrigued by the tofudding, as I’ve never seen that before (where has it been all my life?) I might have to buy a blender…
PB and pickles sounds delicious, if you by pickles you mean banana
Hi Caroline!

I have been reading your blog lately and I have to say that I LOVE your food! I truly enjoy reading your posts and seeing the things you make, your smoothies, salads, all great ideas.
Although I was a biology major in college I am into nutrition and healthy food/eating, I love veggies and all fruits too and love going to farmer’s markets, whole foods and trader joes!
I just wanted to say hi from NC (I live in Cary) and tell you that you have a big fan here!

I love the standard PB&banana sammie. So simple yet so tasty
I gotta try that PB and pickle stuff though. I think it just might work, as weird as it sounds!

PB & pickles?? Very interesting…
This weekend I am going to World Beer Fest! Not. Healthy. At All. But it will be so fun! I am allowed to drink all my calories one day out of the year, right?
I saw your tweet about PB and pickles…to each his (or her) own! ha…not my thing. I like banana, nutella and peanut butter
I love pb and pickles, but not sure i could mix the 2 together.
I do love pb and turkey bacon though!
PB and pickles – interesting! Very exciting to be going home this weekend – hopefully the next day will go by quickly.
Ah! I love PB & Pickles! I used to have it for lunch every now and then as a child and oh boy did I get looks in the lunch room. Glad to see I am not the only one!
Marianne’s tofudding is tasty for sure!
Running out the door now to buy the new Clean Eating!!
OMG that salt shaker is supah creeps!
I’ve definitely had grilled pb & pickles and it’s delish. Admittedly I made it when I was SO low on groceries I practically had no other options, but yeah it’s good. With hummus and/or roasted red peppers too!
haha i love that creeper salt shaker!
I tried the tempeh bacon you posted about and I think I’m addicted now. So good! Thanks for the tip off
I don’t eat peanut butter, but I do eat sunflower seed butter.
I LOVE pickles!
I would have never thought to put the two together, but I am sure it is delicious.
My favourite sunflower seed butter combo is with apple butter.
It’s delicious and I think it would be wonderful with peanut butter as well!
I’m looking forward to getting some sleep and relaxing this weekend! Yay! Hope you have a fantastic weekend, as well.
I’ve been wanting to subscribe to that mag for a while! I should just choke it up and do it. I’m looking forward to sleeeeeep!!
Peeping owl is cute.
