WIAW – Snow Day!

11/12 by Leigha 27 Comments

Fashion Friday {11/10 - 11/13}
One Bowl Vegan Banana Bread

WIAW… it’s been a long time! 

Yesterday was a snow day! I woke up before my alarm even went off (that never happens) so I went out for a short run before the sun even rose. I only needed 3 layers πŸ˜‰

I lied on Monday when I said basketball is starting. Practice has been cancalled the past two days so the real season starts today!

I took advantage of being able to make an actual breakfast yesterday. My bus brings me to school at 7:30 so I usually take my overnight oats with me and eat them there.

hot cereal and green smoothieBob’s Red Mill Hot Cereal, quinoa flakes, banana, soy butter, Nuttzo, and chia seeds with a green smoothie made of 1/2 banana, big handful spinach, almond milk and water, and organic protein powder. I could eat this everyday!

My regular high school was cancelled but I still had to go to my college class. Before that I finished off a container of sunbutter with an apple and some spinach!

apple sunbutter spinachDoes anyone else just eat right from the spinach container with their snacks? I do it all the time!

I was still a little hungry and knew I wouldn’t be able to make it through my class and shopping after so I had this:

leftover quinoa guacamoleLeftover mexican quinoa scooped up with a few chips and some guac!

After school and grocery shopping (and the Verizon store) I was super hungry and was happy to have this in the fridge ready to be heated up! Lately I’ve been using pans on the stovetop rather than the microwave. It makes me feel old fashioned πŸ™‚

dried cranberry brussel sprout quinoa saladCan’t wait to post the recipe!

I got snacky a little while later for some carrots + a couple chips with guac.

And dinner…

homemade bread bowlschicken wild rice soupchicken wild rice soups in a bread bowlOh yes. Chicken wild rice soup in homemade bread bowls!! Well, semi-homemade. The dough was from my work (I work at a pizza place) but I did the forming and rising. And they were amazing. The soup was a little bland but with a little salt sprinkled on it was good!

That’s all I’ve got today! I’ll leave you with a picture I took of Cleo yesterday πŸ™‚ cleo at door

What do you typically eat for breakfast?

Do you heat things in the microwave or on the stove?

      Yeah, I just take a bite of apple then a little handful of spinach. Kind of like a deconstructed salad! πŸ™‚

    I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I can’t wait for snow! Living in Florida for 4 years has gotten me really excited for seeing snowflakes this winter. And it’s nice that I don’t have to drive in it living in NYC. Yay for the subway! All your food looks amazing. Way to go on homemade bread bowls!!

      It’s not even the snow I don’t like, it’s the freezing temps!! Have you ever tried cross country skiing? You should take that up!

    I was originally going to compliment on how delicious your breakfast bowl looks, but dang that dinner is looking pretty good as well. What a perfect snow day of meals!

    Wowza to all of that snow!! It’s pretty though! I love the picture of Cleo and your lunch looks amazing! Can’t wait to see that recipe :).

    I like heating stuff up in the microwave, but sometimes I’m all about the stove–mostly for soup! Now I want to make soup… πŸ™‚

      Oh, soup heated up on the stovetop is SO much better! The microwave makes it heat all uneven.. bleh. Happy Friday, Allie! πŸ™‚
