I woke up feeling a bit under the weather. I feel fine now, so I think it was just from being horizontal all night, ya know?
Regardless, I wanted an energy/vitamin boost so I made an Amazing Meal Smoothie:
- 1/3 packet Amazing Meal
- 1/3 cup frozen spinach
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 3 slices frozen peaches
While Emerile Lagasse made some pasta 
. P.S. My roommate got cable because she wanted to be able to watch March Madness and the Olympics. I really don’t have time to watch TV when I’m at school, but I hope to catch at least some of the Olympics.
The Olympics start tonight, right!? Wow…almost forgot!
Shortly after, my tummy started grumbling so I prepped breakfast WATERLESS! I woke up 30 min. before they told us the water would get shut off so I could pee but they shut it off an hour earlier than said.
…so I washed my face out of a bowl of water…like I was living in the 1800s!

Okay, focus Allie!!
Beauties
2 egg whites, brie cheese, on a whole wheat bagel. I missed my fakey Kraft slices.
Mini bowl of kefir and Kashi GoLean
I never forget my candy vitamins
Then I took to slaughtering my 2nd (and last) kabocha squash from home. I was afraid it would start to rot if I saved it any longer.
This is the ONLY knife we have in the apartment. A flimsy one at best. I came out alive though!
ORANGE snack plate!
Orange slices, orange baby carrots, and orange kabocha squash.
Almond butter ‘n’ ketchup on an orange plate!
Early Dinner:
DEEP colored greens:
- Eggplant
- Tofu
- Tomatoes
- Red Peppers
- Orange slices
Kefir w/ Kashi GoLean, pecans, orange chunks and part of a Rosie’s Granola Bar
All Day I Dream About Sports These Granola Bars!
I brought the rest of the granola bar with me to the Think Pink Women’s Basketball Game. My sorority attends this game every year because our philanthropy is Breast Cancer Education and Awareness.
Loved their shorts!
While waiting, I cracked open Animal, Vegetable, Miracle. I’m reading this book for my Food and Energy class! One of my sorority sisters said her TA last year was Camille Kingsolver, the daughter of the author!!! I didn’t know she was a Duke student, although it clearly states that on the back cover .
After I came back, I enjoyed a green tea latte, while baking for my class tomorrow. Of course, I had a serving of what I baked fresh outta the oven with some almond milk.
You’ll have to wait and see what I made for my classmates!!
P.S. If you emailed me or asked me a question sometime this week, I’m working on getting back to you!! My inbox stands at 84 new emails as we speak. I’m hoping to catch up this weekend.
{ 33 comments… read them below or add one }
I have to read parts of Animal. Vegetable. Miracle for my Ethics of Food class! Let me know how it is
And how do you eat your kombucha? Do you cook it or eat it raw?
oooh no! i hope you get more krafty delight! though brie doesn’t sound too shabby

Lovely eats! And 84 e-mails…you’re a busy (and popular) lady;)

I heard squashes keep for up to 6months in a cool dark place…I’m too scared to try that theory though in case I waste one! They’re too precious for that :p
I have no idea when the Winter Olympics start – I feel sorry for them, it seems a huge deal is made out of the summer ones, but (over here anyway) no-one seems to care about the winters!
Hmmm now I want squash!! bah! I wish I had access to an oven so I could make this. Looks good!
What do you think of the book? I’d like to read that too…
I specially like that orange snack! so pretty!
looking forward to read what you think about that book.
Wow that’s exciting Camille Kingsolver goes to your school. I just got the Poisonwood Bible, and I really liked Animal Dreams!
Allie, you are hilarious: “I woke up feeling a bit under the weather. I feel fine now, so I think it was just from being horizontal all night, ya know?” Haha, I don’t understand, but I guess that doesn’t matter? =P
I love your orange snack plate! I am a big fan of beta-carotene myself.
And, I am really wanting to read Animal, Vegetable, Miracle…as well as Omnivore’s Dilemma. There are a few others out there too that I can’t put my finger on.
I am guessing that you baked cookies for your class! Or a blondie/brownie-type thing.
Ah, yes the Olympics! I almost forgot!
Girl you are going to turn orange, just like me! No worries, orange is the new tan. Amen to beta carotene.
I am always looking forward to seeing your snacks each day. Really, you give me so much inspiration for bedtime snacks. I love your combinations.
Can’t wait to see what was baked.
Oh gurl! India is amazing, but you kinda make me miss having access to regular food…….like fresh veggies, green monsters, saladssssssss, and whole grain cereal. LE SIGH! only 3 more weeks though!
i miss reading your blog so much!! i barely have internet access here except to blog quickly and check my email!
HUGS HUGS HUGS!! thank you for reading GC and keeping up! now every time i see a stray dog (aka every 10 seconds on the road) i think of you!
Wow– so funny that your friend had Camille as her TA! Did she like her?
Girl, you need a better knife!!!
i am running late but needed to comment real quick so excuse my shortness:
a) love the orange plate — over christmas break my mom swore i was going to turn orange because i tend to gravitate to orange veggies/etc..
b) OLYMPICS TONIGHT YES! work will be fun.. something to watch besides basketball sports wise
c) feel better (BAM)
You’ll have to let us know how that book is – I read one of her books I think freshmen year of high school, The Bean Trees & remember liking it.
That salad looks yummy – how do you cook your eggplant? I feel like every time I try to cook it, it comes out funk. Maybe the ones I use aren’t ripe?
Oh my goodness, that’s seriously a good day of eats!! I almost forgot the Olympics start tonight too! I’m recording the opening ceremonies so I don’t have to sit through 4 hours of it haha
Your smoothies/green monsters always look so freaking good! I’m hoping to make one today now that have a blender to use
I loved that book!! I could not put it down once I started.
cant wait to see what you baked!
I rarely watch TV…watching the news right now though, and yes, “apparently” the Olympics start today? haha
Your food always looks so beautiful and creatively plated! And you eat a great variety of things
I feel like I’ve read that your water is shut off a few times!? That is awful!
I feel like I’m going to get all my book reviews from you this semester! Let me know what you think of the book…I almost bought it a couple days ago! You have to read a lottt for class!! At least it’s interesting and not a chem text book, right??
You guys seem to get your water turned off a lot! Yikes!
I always get my hubby to cut my kabochas for me because I’m too wimpy… LOL!
ahhh I wanna be your classmate!! those lucky folks themmmm!!
I had some kashi this morning too, and guess what, I hunted down some Anthropologie bowls last week thanks to inspiration from who else but YOU!!! I LOOOVE them!!! SO perfect for oatmeal and cereal and even thick chunky soup.
*sigh* Simply another reason why i love your blog. So many cool things I get and eat and learn every day. haha
You have to get more Kraft slices. They’re an orange food!
All we have around here are flimsy knifes too- makes it very hard to cut winter squash!
Your food & energy class soudns really interesting
All of your food looks so colorful and fresh! So inspiring.
Yay kabocha! I went to buy one today and all they had were crown princess squashes- have you tried those? I didn’t get one because they looked a funny colour and I wanted to google how they are supposed to look
Popped in from Erica’s to say hi! My husband would love your orange plate!
I’ve never had peaches in my green smoothies… Good idea! I never forgot my candy vitamins either when I was taking them. It’s amazing how I always seem to forget my multivitamin now that it doesn’t taste good!
Your meals sound so yummy girl!!!
That book sounds really interesting too.
That granola bar makes my mouth water! x
Can’t wait to see what you baked! How is the book? No wait, don’t answer that, you’ve got too many questions to get back to!
I’ll have to check it out myself! Yay Olympics!!!
Your photos are so bright and cheerful, and your food looks so yummy! Beautiful blog!!!
*smiles*
Michele
