food!

Thursday (3/4):
Grabbed some breakfast at brugger's in dinkytown before class
1 tomato bagel with egg and cream cheese
1 bottle apple juice

Headed home for lunch after class (around 1).
[I really like soups and chilis, so every so often I'll cook up a huge batch an live off of it for about a week (depending on if my roommates or people we have over share). I like doing this because it's super cheap, uses up whatever ingredients we need to get rid of, lasts a while and is easy/ convenient to heat up a bowl if I'm in a hurry. The soup of this week was fajita soup and consisted of red/yellow/orange/green/jalapeno peppers, onions, tomatoes, and tofu cubes.]

1 bowl of soup
handful of tortilla chips and salsa
1/2 avacado

Thursday snack- around 7:00pm( I work at a coffee shop the airport so it's way too expensive to get dinner there)

1 bag veggie crisps ($1.00!)
Jr. honey almond latte
1 turkey sandwich minus the turkey when we were closing because I don't like throwing away food at the end of the night. and I am poor. :)

Thursday late night- 12:30am: the boyfriend and I went to Hard Times Cafe, my roommate works there so sometimes I get a discount.
1 coconut macaroon
1/2 quesadilla

Friday 3/5:

10:30 am I skated to class, it was an amazing day outside, I was energized and craving fresh fruit.
1 Avocado, strawberry, pineapple smoothie + a packet of this energy suppliment called rainbow lightning
1 primal strip (vegan beef jerkey)
1 annie's vegan breakfast burrito
**this meal came from the seward co-op because it was on the way home. I can't afford to get all of my groceries there, but I do like the idea of buying locally.

I've been a vegetarian for 4 years. I've lived with a vegan this past year and most of the cooking I do at our house is vegan. I'm really interested in studying how different foods and changes in diet can affect the way your body works, as well as what specific minerals/ benefits different plants have to offer. Food science is neat.
