Cleaning Out the Freezer

Because my lease is over in less than a month, I’ve decided to start eating more foods from the freezer and clear that sucker out. I will admit, there’s not that much in it to begin with, but traveling with frozen foods doesn’t really sound that enjoyable to me!

For dinners this week, I’ve been defrosting some frozen veggies and also leftover lentil patty that I had frozen. Crumble the “meat” and top the veggies with apple sauce and cinnamon (I know, I’m strange…one of my fave combos since forever) and call it dinner.

There’s also been a lot of defrosted egg muffins, but when I don’t feel like defrosting, I can always go to Biscotti Café in Shippensburg with Hollie. It’s pretty much “our spot”, and this week, it was even greater because it happen after we had a sleepover. Hehe. For some reason, we didn’t snap any photos together, but we did sleep on a queen size air mattress on my floor. Oh, and we watched Catfish, which if you’ve seen it, it’s pretty crazy.

And we obviously indulged in coffee and biscotti cookies. And omelets. And we both said no hashbrowns, but were served them anyway? Whatevs. They wasted food! I got cheddar and spinach and it totally hit the spot, as per usual.

Speaking of coffee, gingerbread K-cups are my dream come true. And thanks to Trav’s mom, I scored some out shopping over the weekend! They are totally delicious, especially with a little vanilla creamer.

Plus, my new Christmas travel mug is also pretty awesome. As much as I hate snow and being cold, I do love Christmas.

This is what I hate though:

That’s my car before school yesterday morning. Not looking forward to much more snow than that Sad smile And now that I look at it..it’s hard to see snow on a white car with a white building in the background.

Oh ya, and 16 days until graduation. Thanking my lucky stars on that one – I’ve got a stressful week ahead, but at least I have a blogger meetup to look forward to on Saturday! Anyone in the Harrisburg, PA area – come meet up with us!

Happy Hump Day! I’m off to my first swim practice in almost 2 weeks hahaha.

Toodles!

Do you have any weird combinations that you enjoyed as a kid and kind of never did away with? I typically make this combination weirder at times like Thanksgiving when I then add mashed potatoes into the corn, applesauce, cinnamon mix. Yes, I’m weird but totally ok with it.

WIAW–Random Craving Edition

Today’s What I Ate Wednesday is another Tuesday recap. But Tuesday was random. Very random. I ate at strange times, and I ate strange things.

Most of it has to do with the fact that I don’t have much left in the pre-vacation fridge.

Before biking, I had two of these yummy guys! Delicioso!

After our ride, me and four guys (I’m just one lucky lady!) headed to breakfast number two at Biscotti.

We all got chocolate chip biscotti cookies with our meals. Hollie, be jealous Smile .

I also got a cheese and spinach omelet with toast and hash browns. It hit the spot. And kept me full for a long time. So full that the only thing I had for lunch was a little back of granola.

Dinner was a random chicken sausage and some frozen grapes. I know, my taste buds are nuts.

And apple sauce as well as fruity banana “soft serve” for dessert.

There’s my randomness. But all of it was awesome.

All of this was good fuel for the exercise I did. Lots of protein helped for a 12 mile bike ride and a bit of ellipticalling. In my mind, the randomness was perfect. But to each her own!

To see some more fabulous eats, head over to Jenn’s blog and see what some fellow bloggers have been chowing down on!

Happy Hump Day! I am working all day, and then heading to Trav’s so we can leave for the beach in the morning! Smile

Easter Overload + Blogger In Real Life

Well, Lent is officially over. Hope you all had a great Easter holiday! Being vegan for Lent showed me a lot about myself. First off, I can survive without all of those things in my diet and still feel strong, healthy, and energized. My body doesn’t need animal products to be powerful, but it was sort of hard to make the huge transition. As you’ll see from the following post, I have reverted back to my previous eating at least for now. Surprisingly, though, it’s not much different from a vegan diet: I don’t eat meat, I don’t like milk, and I never buy eggs. From now on, I feel as though my diet will be mainly vegan by default, with a few non-vegan things thrown in from time to time.

This weekend included a lot of non-vegan things, but I am ok with that. I am shocked that my body didn’t go nuts with all of the dairy and eggs I threw at it. I was sort of a horrible blogger and didn’t get too many pictures of what I ate this weekend. At Easter numero uno on Saturday, I had some pasta and potatoes, and this epic ice cream sundae!

Yep, that’s cookie dough and Oreo ice cream with caramel and peanut butter sauce and tons of sprinkles.

On Sunday morning, before Trav and I headed to his house for Easter, my mom made us brunch:

Egg casserole (Trav got my bacon)

Blueberry muffins

We had some un-pictured English muffin and hash browns, too! Nothing beats a good home cooked meal!

Instead of getting our own Easter baskets, my mom bought enough to fill a huge basket, and we each picked what we wanted. We each got an egg filled with money and Starbucks gift cards as well. I have the best Easter bunny Smile

Trav and I had to head across the state for more family fun and food. Although the drive seems like forever, I do love passing by the wind mills in Somerset.

After further pigging out at Trav’s house during Easter part two (and receiving another Easter basket from his parent’s!), I am stuff for good. Well, that’s a lie. After today’s breakfast meet-up I am stuffed for good. Or at least until a little bit later when I head over to Starbucks to try out one of my new gift cards Smile

Hollie and I met up for breakfast while she was traveling back to school in NY today. Let me just say that she is as awesome in person as she is on the web. Probably better in real life, if that’s possible. I seriously am about to find out when I am free to go to Virginia Beach this summer just to see her. And who really needs an excuse to go to the beach…

Hollie met me in Shippensburg at a little café called Biscotti, and then it was time to chow down on some breakfast.

We probably had the most awkward lighting at a table ever, but oh well. I got a cheese omelet with hashbrowns and toast. It was yummy. Probably not as yummy as the chocolate chip biscotti she got with her coffee, though. I need to go back there ASAP to try some out!!

She totally made my day/week/probably life at least until the semester is over… I love how I have met some of the most amazing people through the blog world! Unfortunately, I am off to do some work and try to be productive. Only three more weeks of classes left!!!

How was your Easter?

Have you ever met up with a blogger friend in real life? I want to do it more often!
