Hooray for Friday! For all of you who’ve had grueling weeks I hope today was a wonderful sigh of relief. I, though, have not had a terribly killer week, work-wise, so today isn’t as exciting as it could be, but I’m happy all the same.
You know what else I am?
Very resourceful.
What do I mean by that?
Well, why dirty a bowl when you can eat straight from the jar:
OIAJ with oats, quinoa, water, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla protein, banana and peaches.
Please don’t look back and figure out just how quickly I went through this jar. It’s a bit embarrassing. But this peanut butter is just so good I’m almost okay with my speedy eating. And I’m almost okay with this nutrition label.
I prefer just peanuts, though.
Why dirty a shirt for the gym when you can just wear yesterday’s?
I actually do this almost everyday. Whenever I wear a v-neck one day I’ll wear it to the gym the next. This also saves me money on workout clothes.
Why buy food when you can steal it?
I swung by the dining hall today with containers in hand to swipe a few necessities:
Steamed cauliflower with stewed okra and tomatoes (because I’m out of veggies, gasp!), soymilk, slivered almonds and raisins (for an upcoming recipe), and a pear (why not!).
I resourced my way into a pretty great lunch, too:
Leftover max-packed taco with my free pear.
Messy tacos are the best tacos.
For dessert:
Possibly the most amazing vegan chocolate chip cookie I’ve ever eater! I got this from Simple Kneads, a lovely little bakery down a lovely little alley downtown.
And then I continued my resourcefulness at dinnertime by bulking up my little scoop of cauliflower, okra and tomatoes:
Marinara sauce, a bit of constantly cooked quinoa, and the last of my white beans, with a slice of bread schmeared with hummus.
It created a very filling dinner.
And now, eaters, I’m about to resourcefully use by stainless steel water bottle to carry my vodka tonic.
What can I say, resourcefulness is important to me.
Have a good Friday, eaters.
