Good evening, everyone! I hope you all have had a pleasant start to the week. After a fully scheduled weekend of Disney parks, we had a nice change of pace today. While we flounced around Islands of Adventure (part of Universal Studios) this morning, the latter half of the day was occupied at a more leisurely pace—napping and gym time were involved:) Here’s how I ate my way through this lovely Monday:

More coffee maker oats this morning, made all the better with a little Lara action. (As requested, I’ll provide a more detailed description of this cooking method in a future post).

Then it was off to Islands of Adventure…

After riding The Hulk rollercoaster a whopping three times, we got a little hangry. We opted to dine at a sit-down eatery in the park, where the vegetarian options were limited, but I managed to get some tasty vegetable fajitas for my meal. Excellent guac!

After our quiet afternoon in, we ventured out for some Indian food for dinner. ‘Twas amazing—I might have to try to recreate this dish in the Broccoli Hut kitchen sometime!

Now it’s time for some more relaxation. Be back soon, lovelies!

Good evening, everyone! The first weekend of my spring break is coming to a close, but it seems like I’ve already been on vacation for a week—our days have been action-packed. Those note cards have been proved to be quite convenient for accomplishing our “must see and do” lists. Take a look at day three of the Disney magic:

Just as we did yesterday, we used our coffee maker method to make a batch of banana oatmeal. The texture achieved by this method is almost identical to that of the stovetop. Glorious!

We headed back to Epcot this morning so that we could try out the Soarin’ ride. It was a long wait, but we managed to entertain ourselves with my camera…

Lunch was at the same cafeteria in which we dined yesterday. This time I opted for the vegetarian vegetable soup and a simple side salad. I supplemented with a handful of almonds and grapes that we brought with us.

Then it was off to Hollywood Studios:

Much to my delight, we discovered an eatery that serves veggie burgers. It was a damn good one, too—and I know veggie burgers, people.

We ended our day with the Fantasmic show:

Tomorrow, we’ll be heading to Universal Studios for some roller coaster action. Yeehaw! Ciao for now.

Good evening, bloggigans! I write to you after a full day of Disney celebration—we managed to visit not one, not two, but three parks today! As you might imagine I am one pooped chica at the moment, but I have plenty to show you this evening. Here’s how day two of my dream vacation transpired:

Considering our shared devotion to fitness, it shouldn’t surprise you that my “treadmill buddy” and I rose early to hit the hotel gym. Upon returning, we made a big batch of banana oatmeal with the help of the hotel room’s coffee maker. Seth insisted that I show you his work of art in addition to mine…

Then it was off to the Animal Kingdom!

Next up on the agenda was Epcot, where we were first greeted by Daisy Duck and Stitch.

Lunchtime rolled around soon enough. We found a great food court that offered—get this—a tofu noodle bowl! Other items available included Silk soymilk, soy yogurt, and fresh fruit. May-juh points to Epcot for vegan offerings.

The afternoon included a tour of Epcot’s agricultural research center, where I spotted a few out-of-the-ordinary fruits and veggies.

Followed by a trip to see Figment, a tour of the butterfly garden, and a short nap in the sun:)

We grabbed an early dinner before heading over to the Magic Kingdom for the SpectroMagic Parade.

Due to my rather light dinner, I had a little “fourth meal” action when we arrived back at the hotel. TGFS: Thank God for Sabra.

Whew! Alright I am off to get some shut-eye. More fun in the AM!
