Despite my most valiant procrastination attempts (I made another batch of cranberry sauce and cut up a pomegranate this afternoon), my conscientiousness got the best of me, and I actually got some work done today. However, the assignment on which I focused my attention was admittedly a fun one: my final project for my “Radio: Theater of the Mind” class. Unlike other courses, this radio class does not require an excessively long research paper nor does it entail a nerve-wracking presentation; rather, our final project is to create an audio podcast, on any topic of our choosing. Although I toyed with the idea of narrating a cooking demonstration, I ultimately decided to devote my podcast to another passion of mine: Christmas. I’ll be reciting “A Visit from St. Nicholas,” “How the Grinch Stole Christmas,” and a selection from “A Charlie Brown Christmas.” As you can imagine, I thoroughly enjoyed myself this afternoon, as I searched for just the right background music and the appropriate sound effects. I’ve found this project so entertaining—perhaps I’ll endeavor to create some Broccoli Hut radio programming…What do you think?
Anyway, as a result of all that Christmas diversion, I am in a particularly good mood this evening. Let’s move onto the eats, shall we?
Thursday
Despite its rather blah color, peach-banana is a mighty fine combination, especially with hemp.
Friday
Yeah, it was another SIAB kind of day. My logic is that if I eat it out of a bowl, it’s not really a smoothie, so I’m not actually eating multiple smoothies per day. Right.
One of many reasons why I love bean salads: max prep time=2 minutes. When I’m hangry, I’m hangry—no time for fussy stuff.
For dinner this evening, I pulled out some whole wheat pizza dough (Trader Joe’s) from the freezer. I served it up with some of my fave toppings and a pretty large-and-in-charge salad. Quick tip: Upon purchase, I divided the dough up into 8 little dough balls, making for super-easy single servings.
Now, Alanna and I are headed to Local Yogurt—I’ve never had natural frozen yogurt (tragic, right?), so I am psyched. Later, lovelies!

Hello and welcome! I have created this blog for people who love food, especially healthful, vegetarian food.
I currently attend college in North Carolina, where I am studying English and psychology, although I plan on pursuing an additional degree in nutrition after I graduate. Ideally, I would like to combine my love of food and the written word someday as a health writer.
I think reciting christmas stories is very you and I hope you post it hear so we can all have a listen!
I’d tune in regularly if you had a radio show
Definitely sounds like a cool project. I wish I had an excuse to do something Christmas related right now! I’ve actually been debating if it’s too early to put up the tree.
natural froyo? sounds awesome!
Sounds like a really cool assignement! I too hope that we can listen to it!
That radio project idea is just in time since the Christmas season is pretty much starting full swing now that Halloween just ended. We’ve received a ton of Christmas-themed flyers in the mail already!
I really like that dividing pizza dough idea. I never even want to buy pizza dough because it’s just way too much but of COURSE it doesn’t need to all be made at once, duh!
Hehe I used to part-time (unpaid of course) DJ on this little online radio; it’s so much fun! I never would’ve thought of connecting it to the blog though. That would make yours even more unique
And I worship you for doing your project about Christmas. Just this morning I realized, oh crap no ideas for presents this year! What shall I get everyone? (Bowl of oats?
)
Great idea for the pizza dough! I think I’ll pick some up today
Oh, let us know how good is Local Yogurt, I love ice cream and frozen yogurts, that is a place I will want to visit!
Ana
ahhhhhhhhhhhh GREAT idea to seperate the pizza dough into 8 serving sizes girl!
such a perrty blueberry bowl! have a great weekend!
Oh I love your pizza dough tip!! That’s smart thinking! I hope you like the froyo, I’ve never had genuine frozen yogurt either. So sad!
LOVE the smoothie in a bowl!!!!! fabulous die
ok dont know why i just wrote “Die” meant to write “idea!” so sorry about that! have a lovely weekend
Awesome idea for the pizza… Also loving your smoothie in a bowl.. so pretty!
yum! what a great idea to divide up the trader joes pizza dough into single servings–i must try this next time, gotta love personal sized pizzas! enjoy Local Yogurt!! what flavor do you think you’ll get?
The radio class sounds like tons of fun! I wish we had it at our school (maybe we do?!). I would love to listen to a broccoli hut radio station
I wish our trader joe’s had the whole wheat crust. we only have herb, wheat, and original! The pizza looks delish!
Gosh, all of your food pics are so pretty!
Props on making blue food look good! I didn’t think it was possible but you proved me wrong:)
you always have such cute plates and bowls! I have lameo hand me downs…
Yes yes yes, Broccoli Hut Radio!!!
Thanks for the advice about tempeh bacon. Do you just slice it really thin and bake it?
Gorgeous blue smoothie-in-a-bowl!
Sounds like a fun project
.
beautiful bean salad!!
i still need to try that goddess dressing!
HAPPY WEEKEND LOVELY CAROLINE!!!!!!!!!!
I crave tart yogurt like a preggars woman…it helps that right below my parents’ condo (and I mean like the lobby), there is a tart yogurt shop–obsessed! I ate it practically twice a week in London despite it being FREEZING there. Green tea w/ pom seeds
Great idea with the pizza dough! I LOVE TJs pizza dough but only make it when we eat it as a fam.
I love that you are going to be doing your project around Christmas! That is too fitting
I would love to listen to a Broccoli Hut radio show!
That electric blue smoothie in a bowl looks heavenly. I love the vibrant colors that we can get without food coloring/artificial craziness.
Hope you enjoyed the natural fro yo! Sounds delicious!
I just started my own health blog too!

That smoothie color is gorgeous!
