i am a creature of habit

when i find something i enjoy, i usually tend to eat it over and over and over until i get tired of it for the time-being. what can i say? i am a creature of habit.

this salad is just spinach, romaine lettuce, cilantro, carrot, onion and dried cranberries. that red stuff on top is salsa. i like salsa on my salad. this had chunks of jalepeno and onion which added a little kick. it was yummy.


another variation w. tomato and brussel sprouts marinated in liquid smoke and balsamic vinaigrette this time.


next up, frozen banana, a bit of chocolate syrup, a tablespoon of peanut butter, lots of ice and a bit of water. i always say this, but it's so good that i think i prefer it over ice cream [maybe i just haven't had ice cream for so long i forgot how delicious it is]. either way, this is definitely better for me.


another variation...banana, ice and diet rootbeer. kinda like a rootbeer shake, but better.


i eat the same thing for breakfast with different variations thrown in. this is oatmeal w. my mom's homemade apple sauce [i basically eat gallons of it]. in fact, the other day i pretty much only ate applesauce. it's that good.


oatmeal w. a sliced apple and a dash of maple syrup. w. plain old coffee--such a delight!



school begins again january 17th. i am dreading the semester. :(

more salsa and rice. i really and truly enjoy this combination and look forward to having it more frequently during the summer with my parents homemade salsa. as you can tell, i got a little carried away with the salsa because i love it so much.

i had oatmeal one morning and then decided to pile plain oatmeal that was uncooked on top of it. topped with a bit of maple syrup. this breakfast is divine.

i am happy to say i have finished up my box of white rice [go me!]. i would use cajun seasoning and liquid smoke to cook it and then soy vay soy sauce on top of that. sooooo yum. sorry the picture was terrible. :(

the first article is UP!

you will be happy to know that my first article for my vegan column is up RIGHT NOW! here is the link if you are interested about reading on my quest for vegan food in central illinois.

alas, my everyday food pictures are both tedious and few...however! i received an okay by the doctor to start getting my arm back to working order. YES. but, nonetheless, here is some of the food i have been eating and will continue to be eating [at least for the short time being]. if you look closely, you can see all my to-do lists in the background. [sigh] graduation where arrrrrre you?!

there's oatmeal...it looks so boring...but it is packed with flavor from maple syrup! YUM! i like it simple and sweeeeet.

i told you the other day that i was practically addicted to cinnamon life cereal...well here is one of 80,000 mounds.

and finally, tomato soup--that comforting, hearty, delicious tomato-y soup. i add southwest seasoning in it. it's absolutely wonderful until i start thinking it needs a lot. it doesn't and sometimes the pepper flakes almost kill me. but...i do love spicy. and i also love tons and tons of saltine crackers.
