Tofu Triangles & Cinnamon Roasted Garbanzos

Meal Of the Day!

Lunch, yep a random creation from the mind of bhealthier.

I grilled extra firm tofu that I had cut into triangles.  I steamed veggies underneath while it was grilling and I threw together a quick spinach-artichoke dip. All I did was microwave frozen spinach and artichokes, remove excess water, then reheat with nonfat greek yogurt and some parmesean cheese, s& p. It was awesome. I used the tofu triangles as “pita” sections to eat my dip. Up close… and….

I also had an organic red delicious with some Valencia Peanut Butter ala Trader Joes.

Snack

Roasted Cinnamon Garbanzo’s

I’ve had this can of garbanzo’s in my cupboard for-ever it seems! I intended to make hummus with it but then never did and wanted to do something fun with it. So I took my can of garbanzo’s and rinsed them, threw them onto my toaster oven baking sheet. Drizzled a teeny bit of olive oil ( Newman’s Own Organic) and then drenched in cinnamon before baking for 35 minute at 400.

I took em out and sprinkled Sugar in The Raw over top and then downed a whole bunch! I was surprised at how much I loved the sweet/ salty /spicy contrast!! I should have baked them longer to make them more dried out but they were awesome! I almost ate all of them they were so good!

Dinner:
We were invited over to our super close friend’s Andrea and Nate’s house for dinner tonight. Nate grilled “country spare ribs” and Andrea made delicious sides: tomato mozzarella salad, brussel sprouts, rice and beans ! hmmmm so divine!

I snacked on a few hershey’s kisses and a couple small glasses of wine while we caught up on our crazy lives.

Body:
Rest… well… sort of.. my leg is very bothersome however, I knew I would feel worse if I didn’t get some form of exercise- so I walked (at an easy pace) for about 3 miles.  It felt fine- the leg wasn’t awesome but it was more of a stress-relieving activity that wasn’t super strenous. Plus fresh oxygen from outdoors is always refreshing!

Thanks for all your well-wishes!

Mind:
Class- We go our exams back! We are allowed to do test corrections on our exam as an extra assignment- woohoo! I did not do as bad as I feared for missing what in real semester time would be over 1 month- but I didn’t get what I usually do in most classes. I am fine with it though!

I turned in another job application AND I followed up with a previous application and got semi-good news! Yippee! The lady replied back with a hopeful response ( not a “we definitely want you” but it seemed very pleasant. I feel like if I didn’t have a chance, she would have just said sorry but we have already chosen our interview candidates…etc ). She said to expect to hear from them in the next two weeks- fingers crossed.

Soul:
Oh I love dinners with Nate and Andrea!

While I won’t discuss this on the blog, I did have alot of stressful things come about today and recently more so. The walk really helped out and chatting with my friends helped too.

ah and i almost forgot that breakfast was a HUGE orange and a half of an apple with peanut butter and an oikos! nice and fast!
