Thanks to the magic of leftovers, this lunch took me exactly four minutes to throw together. I toasted an Oroweat Sandwich Thin, added a schmear of hummus, and plopped on a slice of leftover tofu from yesterday along with a little bit of brown rice. We are completely out of vegetables, which explains the lack [...]

Tofu Toss
Posted: June 22, 2010 in FoodTags: apples, brown rice, carrots, cherries, hummus, mushrooms, tofu, zucchini
I bought a package of tofu last week at the store, and then I forgot about it until I looked in the fridge wondering what to make for lunch! I only started making tofu a couple months ago, but it’s really easy! I open the package, drain the water, and cut the tofu into slabs [...]
Last Meal

Well not really, of course, but it was my last meal at home in my own kitchen for a while! (Tomorrow I’m moving back into the dorm.) Thankfully, it was a really good one. I whipped up a salmon wrap: simply combine one can of salmon (for two people) with a couple spoonfuls of Greek [...]

It was really hard to wake up this morning for some reason. But I did it and, against some of my good senses, did Level 2 and Level 3 of the 30 Day Shred. Whew. What a fabulous 36-minute workout. Loved it and it totally got me energized for the day. After a shower, it [...]
I Made It!

I made it, that is, all the way to Level 3 of Jillian Michaels’ 30 Day Shred. I liked it and it was tough, but the jury’s still out on which level I like best, 2 or 3. I’ll just have to keep doing Level 3 and find out. Some of the strength moves are [...]
Back on the Yoga Train

Just as Whit mentioned in a comment the other day, I hopped back on the yoga train this morning. I turned off my alarm, rolled out of bed onto the floor, and started in on Gentle Hatha #1. This is the Yoga Download class that I started with, and it’s what I would recommend to [...]
Abundant Amounts of Awesomeness

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. –Herb Albright 1) Awesome workout and breakfast (but you saw that already). 2) Awesome lunch. A hummus sandwich with zucchini and carrots, cherries, and a cheese stick. 3) Awesome finds at the farmers’ market: [...]
Two For One

Two meals in one post! For lunch, I mixed half a can of salmon (~3 oz.) with chopped carrot, diced zucchini, the rest of my apple from this morning (diced), ~1 tbsp. of Greek yogurt, and paprika. Yum! I ate it with a serving of Kashi crackers. I usually eat this in a wrap or [...]
A Balanced Lunch

Here’s another healthy eating & cooking tip for you: when cooking something like bulgur or brown rice (or even vegetables) make an extra serving or two to have for the next couple days. An important part of eating healthfully is to make it easy, and this is a great way to do it! Check out [...]
Big Bowl, Normal Portion

Don’t be fooled by the size of this bowl…it’s a big bowl and my dinner portion was pretty normal! This was 1/4 cup of bulgur (dry) with cooked shrimp, edamame, broccoli, corn, and sugar snap peas. Pretty darn good! I love the combo of bulgur and shrimp. But back to portion sizes for a second. [...]
