It can LOWER your risk for cavaties, diabetes, colon cancer, depression, Alzheimer’s, liver disease, gallstone disease and more! Oh and for me? It helps decrease my asthmatic symptoms, wakes me up, makes me feel warm and cozy, and gets me out of bed in the morning! Addiction? Maybe! But then I am also addicted to vegetables…so there

I found a lot of my coffee facts here and here

I know many bloggies out there are anti-coffee drinkers, and I know its not the BEST thing in the world for me, but I LOVE it!! We all have our vices, right? A steaming cup of coffee in the morning, mmm, nothing better Well, we are all out! I knew I would have no time to stop anywhere, so tea it was. Chai is my fav!

I even got a Pilates workout in this morning thank goodness. My back has been KILLING me since school started, lugging books and my laptop all over campus all day!

Snacks for school/work today included:

I didn’t have the Amazing Meal, and have yet to try it! Any thoughts on it?? I am back in an Oikos greek yogurt phase…!

Dinner tonight was what is becoming quite the usual: Flat out wrap tortilla pizza + one HUGE sweet potato (which I added ketchup and tobasco to) + greens + some of the boys unpictured Beecher’s Mac and Cheese (so good!!)

Night friends! Gotta get up early to go get coffee!!!!

I have been reading tons of food blogs now for about 6 months and decided it was time that I myself take the “plunge”. I am mostly going to use my blog to show you guys my eats while being a full time student, working part time at a Pilates studio after school and finding time to run and do Pilates! I hope you enjoy. So I actually just returned yesterday from a weekend away in the most beautiful place ever!! (more on that later) When we got home (ROAD TRIP) I had about 45 minutes to make something to eat as I was quite hungry and KNEW that working for four hours while being exhausted would make me ravenous!

So, on the drive home I snacked on a spinach flavor Flat Out Wrap, plain (can you tell i was getting hungry….?)

Well soon enough we arrived home and because I was SO hangry I grabbed one of my trail mix cookies I made last week to tide me over while I chopped my veggies!

These were inspired by Oh She Glows

Then it was looking in my fridge for something…anything! Well, I found half of an onion, part of a rotting zucchini (in a Debbie Meyer Green Bag, I thought these would help!), some celery (also on it’s last leg) as well as some hummus and feta. Well I got to chopping and decided the hummus would make a great base for a flat out wrap pizza! Especially because my wrap flavor of spinach. I decided on a Greek theme for today’s pre-work meal.
Layer 1: about 2 tablespoons of hummus. (Oh, and i decided to just do half of a pizza b/c i ate all the wrap coming home and didn’t want to get burned out when this is one of the only things left in my kitchen!)

Then I added the veggies and spices! (zucchini, onion, red pepper flakes, basil, thyme, garlic powder, and Mediterranean sea salt! I am all out of oregano and this saved the day!) Oh and feta cheese of course, about 2 tablespoons. After being in the oven for about 10 minutes, and then 10 min again because my Feta wouldn’t brown:( I got this…

upclose

With the rest of my yummy’s

Celery, a huge tomato and hummus for dipping!

Like my zucchini “pepperoni’s?” okay maybe a stretch…. Anyway, this was very good AND filling, I knew i wouldn’t be getting hungry at work! The only problem was the hummus got so slippery and gooey that the tortilla wasn’t very firm or pizza-ish like it normally is with cheese. Next time I think I would toast the wrap in the oven first to firm it up a tiny bit then add all the toppings. Thoughts??

Okay I will be back later to share with you my post work dinner (8:30pm!!) and stay tuned for my amazing eats and adventures from this last weekend in that oh so beautiful place!

Love,
MVFK
