dilemma: freeze for future smoothies or let ripen for banana bread?

how i make all my food

salad: A SHIT TON OF VEGGIES and a little lettuce underneath

omelette: A SHIT TON OF VEGGIES with eggs and some cheese mixed in

pasta: A SHIT TON OF VEGGIES over some pasta with sauce

pizza: A SHIT TON OF VEGGIES with some crust/sauce/cheese underneath

anything else: A SHIT TON OF VEGGIES alongside whatever i’m having

I follow the same philosophy for pizza as I do for salads: the more toppings, the better. 

I started with Amy’s gluten free cheese pizza and piled on peppers, onions, broccoli, mushrooms, tomatoes, and some mozzarella.  It was super easy and equally delicious!

omg dessert

vanilla ice cream topped with melted chocolate peanut butter and warm peanut butter cookie dough bites.  I DESERVE THIS ALL THE TIME.

excuse me i’m in heaven.

i would take a picture but i already ate it all.

my kitchen is a mess. a delicious, delicious mess.

for dinner i made gluten free pita bread and curried lentils and cauliflower.  i’d post a picture but i’m running late to get to personal training on time so my plate isn’t exactly aesthetically pleasing.. maybe tomorrow when i have leftovers :)

ants on a log! i’ve been craving this for like two weeks which is really weird considering i’m normally pretty indifferent towards celery.
also, just fyi, getting work done is a lot harder when you keep having to get up to pee.

THIS BANANA IS LIKE A FOOT LONG.
since my glass of water is there for size comparison, i’m going to call this a “drink water and eat bananas!” nudge.

protip: save your empty peanut butter jars to use as containers for overnight oats!
whenever i finish a jar of peanut butter, i always keep it for this purpose.  they’re great for a number of reasons:
you can scrape peanut butter from the sides of the jar while you eat
a 16oz jar is a perfect single serving size for your oats with room to add mix-ins
when you’re on the go, you can bring the jar with you and dispose of it when you’re done
sure, i’ve gotten some weird looks when people see me eating straight from a peanut butter jar, but it’s totally worth it!
my favorite types of oatmeal for this are chocolate peanut butter banana and peanut butter apple cinnamon.  i make both with 1/2c oats, 1c almond milk, and 1.5tbs chia seeds.  for the banana version, i add 2 tbs cocoa powder and blend a banana into the almond milk.  for the apple cinnamon version, i blend an apple into the almond milk and add a tsp of cinnamon.  add sweetener as desired.  let them sit in your fridge overnight and you’ll have delicious oatmeal waiting for you in the morning!

You know your salad is the right size when you can’t take a forkful without everything spilling everywhere.

dinner is brown rice pasta with shrimp, roasted broccoli, and roasted cauliflower topped with healthy alfredo.  my facial expression here is clearly saying “om nom nom.”

this should help power me through field hockey practice and studying orgo all night long.

lunchtime! gluten-free sundried tomato chicken sausage from tj’s, broccoli and cauliflower, and an egg over easy.
