On to my eats ...
Sunday night I ate 2 pears. Breakfast Monday morning was eggs and toast with OJ.
Lunch was a haystack (leftovers).
Dinner on Monday evening was a veggie pita pizza (plus another half).
I went to class Monday evening and got my first grad school midterm back.
I got 94% - the highest in the class!!!!! I was pretty pumped.
I came home pretty hungry, so I had 2 eggs.

This morning I made a bowl of oats featuring these yummy little gems:
My oats contained: 1/2 cup coffee, 1/2 cup unsweetened Vanilla Almond Breeze, 1 tsp PB, 1/2 banana, sprinkle of choc. pop arils.
Lunch was a turkey and veggie sandwich on rye, 1/2 cup yogurt with 1 tsp PB, 3 bites of cheesecake, and a mini snickers.
Dinner this evening was curried lentil soup with 1/2 piece of nan bread.
The soup is super healthy, high protein and vitamins. You can find the recipe here.
