Winding Down

Posted on December 6th, 2009 by BroccoliHut

After this week of craziness, both in terms of schoolwork and my personal life, I am finally winding down. Today involved far more napping and far less studying than I had planned. As a result, my food life has continued to be pretty basic but satisfying, nonetheless. Check out the goods:

Saturday

I celebrated the weekend with a batch of vegan banana pancakes. I can’t believe I haven’t made these all semester long!

Another all-time fave of Caroline’s? Scrambled tofu, of course.

For dinner, Seth and I decided to hit up an on-campus eatery before heading out to the mall. We went to The Loop, where I ordered my usual Black Bean Burger. No pics this time, but it resembled this one from the past:

Sunday

Continuing with the classic theme, I made a big pot of PB&J oat bran for breakfast this morning.

I made some mock tuna for lunch, which was accompanied by my beloved celery and salsa combo, plus a few apple slices.

For those of you who are interested in my recent romantic adventures, I am excited to say that I am officially in my first relationship. If some of you will recall, I’ve been waiting for this to happen for a while, but I think it was worth the wait:)

Togo and I wish you a relaxing evening:)

    That’s exciting. Enjoy it and don’t lose sight of who you are…I struggled with that in my first relationship and wish someone would have told me not to do that.

    Aww, congratulations! What a sweet story. I was the same way.. I had never had a boyfriend or a kiss and was 19, a junior in college. I honestly thought I would never meet anyone and that love was just a myth. Then I met the love of my life in French class one day this past January and since then I have been the happiest I’ve ever been! I wish you & your guy great luck & happiness.

    p.s. Great blog!

    hahahah oh my gosh- the cat in the vest seriously CRACKS me up. Thats awesome. Glad you got some relaxing in after all the craziness. how good are those sesame cashews? I picked some up from TJs when we were in Nashville. Josh and I are in love with them!

  33. Mitri, on December 7th, 2009 at 4:14 pm Said:

    I’m so happy you have found someone to spend your days with :) and I’m not talking about the cat ;)

  34. Lindsey @ EatReadRun, on December 7th, 2009 at 4:55 pm Said:

    I LOVE Togo’s vest! Where on earth did he get it? My mom is actually knitting a sweater for our cat. We find that he’s way too big for the store-bought cat clothes, he might need to move up to small-dog-wear.

    Congrats on the new relationship! Enjoy the butterflies – best feeling in the world.

    Ahh i’m so excited for you!!!!! And his cat is adorable!! Maybe we’ll get a picture of you two together, soon :)

    The pb & j oatbran and mock tuna sandwich look delish!
