Crazy About Breakfast [Feb 5 - Feb 10]

For some reason this week, I happened to take pictures of my breakfasts...except for my Saturday lunch? Haha. Anyways, on Saturday, I had a scoop of Tofutti wildberry supreme frozen dessert with a slice of reduced fat cherry cake.

I felt super hungry on Saturday and went all out on lunch: pasta with marinara and brocolli, garden vegetable soup, and raspberry oat bars. The pictures don't show exactly how MUCH I eat, but I had many plates of the raspberry oat bar. What can I say? It was one of the few desserts my dining commons makes well.

On Sunday, I had a simple breakfast. I had two mini plain bagels from Trader Joe's with orange blossom honey. I tried using ketchup as a condiment on the other bagel, but didn't go very well so I stuck with the honey.

Usually every other Monday, I have the opportunity to indulge in apple crepes. At 90 calories a piece and 0.5 grams of fat, I HAD to indulge! (I think I had like three...maybe four...)

My breakfast on Wednesday was mediocre. I just wasn't feeling it. Had a bowl of oatmeal (bleh, not enough sugar), an english muffin with raspberry jam (too doughy and the jam was too runny), and a bite of watermelon (bland tasting).

Since my Thursday mornings always have me in a rush, I had what took three bites of vegan mocha cake. Nothing mocha about it. Had absolutely no taste and felt like I was chewing on dry dough. And I wasted 390 calories believe it or not :(...definitely not a cake to represent what vegan desserts can be.It does look deceiving though...

A Different Routine - [Jan. 28 - Feb. 4]

This week I felt like trying new things and moving away from my usual food routine :) When I came home on Friday, I had an insane craving for pot pie -- except I wanted it to be LOADED with vegetables and half the calories of a regular pot pie.

This was the result:

It tasted amazing and was chock full of mushrooms, brocolli, carrots, cauliflower, and various other vegetables are swimming in a light brown broth (flavored with soy sauce). The secret to the calorie cut-off? There was crust on the bottom, and obviously the top, but the white ramekin secretely held up the pie without another layer of crust. It was amazing, and another recipie added to my homemade favorites.

Back at school, I decided to venture off campus and try out some products from Jamba Juice and Starbucks that I've been wanting to try, but never have had time to.

On Monday, I ordered a berry topper which is basically a berry smoothie topped with granola and sliced banana. The crunch of the granola and smoothie was perfect. Not a huge banana fan though.

On Wednesday, I went back to Jamba Juice and got a Matcha Green Tea Blast, cause it was fat free and a decent amount of calories (290 calories). I was sad when it was all gone, but the green tea flavor was definitely present.

I couldn't take an amazing picture because people were conveniently around me :P

I have to wake up bright and early on Thursday mornings, so I treated myself to a Clif bar flavor I haven't tried before, Crunchy Peanut Butter:

Soon after class, I stopped by Starbucks and got a non-fat Tazo Green Tea Frap, hold the whip.

I realized that since the Starbucks version of the green tea frozen treat came with more ice then the product I ordered, I prefer Jamba's. Except I wish it was the same price as Starbuck's (Starbucks was about $3 and Jamba's was $4.23 ><)
