Who else is happy that it’s Friday?
I am! I have a jam-packed weekend, complete with hanging out with friends, pool-lounging, and reviewing restaurants for the paper. Oops- that was part of my exciting news that I said I wasn’t going to share yet. I guess I blew it, though, so I might as well tell you now! 
My internship at The Saratogian is technically over on Tuesday, but I’ve been hired as a freelance writer for the paper’s bi-weekly art, style, and entertainment magazine, The Scene. There are five summer issues of The Scene left and I will be writing a column for each one featuring vegetarian-friendly restaurants in Saratoga Springs. My first review is on Sunday. I will be writing other stories for The Scene, but I don’t want to tell you everything at once! That’s no fun! I guess you’ll just have to wait until I post the links! Just as a side note: I will still be posting about my daily eats, even when I do restaurant reviews, so you’ll have a sneak-peak at what my column will be about.
I am SO excited! Anybody want to help me come up with a name for my column?
Moving on to yesterday’s eats!
I mourned my empty peanut butter jar yesterday morning…
It was a beautiful funeral…
Banana oats: 1/2 cup oats, 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk, 1 sliced banana, cinnamon
A moment of silence please…
Toppings: Blueberries, Cherries, more Cinnamon
PB Jar- you will be missed. (P.S.- I’ve replaced you already)
Lunch was packed:
- Olivia’s Organics Spinach/Spring Mix Salad: Grape tomatoes, Green Pepper, Goat Cheese, Sunflower Seeds, Annie’s Lite Raspberry Vinaigrette.
- Odwalla Chocolate Chip Trail Mix Bar
- Chobani Raspberry Yogurt with Feed Blueberry-Almond Granola
I actually ate the Odwalla bar this time. It wasn’t my favorite- the chewy consistency threw me off. For some reason, I thought it would be crunchier. Oh well, live and learn.
Jeff and I made tacos for dinner.
Excuse my chipped nail polish- I should be a hand model, right?
I sauteed onions with a little Frank’s Red Hot and Garlic Powder…
And added them to the pinto refried beans…
Served with homemade guac, of course…
All together now…
With Salsa, Shredded Cheddar, and Sliced Tomatoes thrown in.
I had corn-on-the-cob and cherries on the side.
Dessert was simple.
Cheerios with Dark Chocolate Chips and Vanilla Almond Milk
I’m off to a body pump class. I intend to master the push up today, and not fall on my face like I usually do. Wish me luck!
Note: I’m hosting a really awesome giveaway in a few days, so stay tuned! Trust me, it’s a good one!
