You know you’re a dorkus maximus when you notice that you hit every food group with your breakfast.
Ezekiel topped with pumpkin and almond butter:
Cinna-apples and PE-cans:
Kefir (the last of it...tear) w/ pumpkin, pecans, and Kashi GoLean (the last of it…double tear):
What’s in the pot? Why a Green Tea Latte, of course!
You know you’re a KERF reader when you see The Giver in the bubbles of your tea! See it?!
Can you guess where I got my teapot!?! I may have mentioned it long ago…
You know it’s time to go grocery shopping when your eats are getting awfully repetitive.
In class snax: Kabocha squash, sweet potatoes, Sandwich round w/ almond butter and apples.
Verrrrry repetitive.

You know you’re a Trader Joe’s fanatic when you give a presentation on the company for your marketing/entrepreneurship course and had to contain your enthusiasm as not to seem totally crazy.
***
You know you’re procrastinating studying for your exam when you go to the gym after a long day of classes….just to avoid cracking open the books.
45 super long minutes on the elliptical and 30 min. strength training. It was a weak workout. Time was dragging!

You know you’re a hungry hippo when…
…you don’t even have time to plate your dining hall salad ‘for the blog’ (let alone take it out of the bag) before wolfing it down like a 5 year old eating a bowl of Cookie Crisp!!!!
I planned on just putting this salad in the fridge and eating a bowl of oatmeal because that’s what I was craving, but once I opened the salad box for a nibble of eggplant–the whole thing went down!
I needed fuel…and fast!! So I had oatmeal in bar form….
You know you’re in need of motivation when you drink an Alive! shake in hopes of stayin’ alive through your exam cram sesh.
- 1/2 Alive! Packet
- 1/2 cup frozen spinach
- 1/2 banana
- 1/2 cup almond milk
You know you’re cramming for an exam procrastinating some more when you opt to blog and watch the Olympics rather than study.
Okay, gotta crack open the books!! Hopefully my meals/snax will get a little more interesting after I hit up Trader Joe’s this weekend. It’s been over a month (not sure how I’ve survived)! I’ll try my best to get creative in the kitch in the mean time.

Waaaait what’s wrong with Cookie Crisp?? I may or may not have a box of it right now…
Your breakfast looks so cute! I love the placemat.
I know how you feel about procrastination. I love blogging, but jeez, I get so distracted sometimes! (More like all of the time!) Good thing tomorrow is a snow day so I can tackle some of my Pre-Cal. Guhhh.
that smoothie looks so yum! As does that oat bar. Girl I WISH I could find those rosies bars up here, I’ve been looking for a good one with no luck
Your teapot is the best!!Looks like anthro funkiness!!
That doesn’t sound like a weak workout to me at all!
Hope your presentation went well. Did you take the TJ’s photos b/c I’d like to “borrow” one for my post? …
Hi girly, missed ya! Delightful looking eats as always
Those breakfast photos are fantastic. I’m curious, what camera do you use, and do you use a white box?
I just bought Ezekiel muffins and they are BOMB. Your teapot is so cute and I bet ou were waaaay excited to give that presentation. No doubt!
Oatmeal in bar form, been experimenting with that a lot these says…what’s your recipe?!

I think you know you’re a dorkus maximus when you use the phrase dorkus maximus.
Beautiful teapot, beautiful breakfast!
You are certainly NOT a dorkus maximus!
You’re adorable!!! 
Hitting every foodgroup in your meals is commendable. I am sure you make your mama proud.
Just got some of the Pom Kefir and I am IN LOVE! Soo Sooo Soo good!
Even better.
and I always think of you when I have it.
<3 you girl!
I’m still in awe of your TJ’s presentation. I would have loved to see it! Mmm Cookie Crisp. I always forget about how many dang kid’s cereals there are!
LOVE the tea pot!!!
Hhaa I know all too well about your day..ie killing time when you should be working! It’s part of the student life non!?
every breakfast must be so special in your house!! I need to think about my presentation….have a good day!
I really like how your breakfast is so neatly organised and presented, it looks like a restaurant
Blogging and watching the Olympics are very important tasks though!
I love your fancy little breakfast
You’re too funny, Allie!! LOL! Love the teapot and your eats are always yummy looking. Hope the studying went OK…..
Hahaha, you can always write off watching the Olympics as being a good global citizen.
I love your blog! Recently found it, and I’m currently waiting to hear back from Duke for grad school in English. If I get in, I will probably need directions to that Trader Joe’s!
I love your fancy breakfast setup and adorable tea pot! I would guess you got it at Southern Season since they have all kinds of cute stuff like that there. The green tea latte looks delicious too.
Can I just say how much I love the word dorkus maximus? bahaha
I wish I could have seen the TJ’s preso!
Out of all of that, I’d probably would only eat the cookie crisps but I must be more adventurous. Kudos on the pictures.
Where did you get the gorgeous teapot? Where where??
Did you ever play the hungry hippo game? That was a staple when I was a tot.
Good luck on your exams!
I love that you gave a presentation on Trader Joe’s. You’re my new fav!
I loved The Giver, when I read it, in maybe…sixth grade?
Happy Tuesday Allie!

I want to hear how your TJ’s presentation went! And I totally see The Giver in your bubbles…weird…
That oatmeal bar looks amazing! x x
hahaha I love The Giver! I’ve read it sooo many times! I wish I could have seen your Trader Joe’s presentation!! Oooh I’ve never seen the Whole Foods slam on their signs before!
Haha who doesn’t get worked up about TJ’s? I know I do
According to this post, I am a may-juh dork and TJ’s fanatic…but we already knew that:)
LOVE your teapot!
Lovely entry! I’ve been eating chicken salad sandwiches everyday for lunch because I’m so addicted to them right now, especially grilled with a piece of cheddar cheese.
Hey gurl! Remember me?? Haha, totally normal if you don’t. I’m back to blogging and just wanted to shout you a holla
Holy shiat, I read the Giver in my 6th grade class. I’m pretty sure I didn’t understand it at the time… I just wanted to get my recess on, shoo. I totally procrastinate by hitting up the gym… that way you feel like your being productive.
Anyways lady, good luck with the studying!! Speaking of I got a midterm tomorrow too… ekkk!
