Crabby

Brrrrrrrrrr ... I am freezing!! I could barely crawl out of bed this morning because I knew how cold it was going to be outside.

I warmed myself up by making a lovely bowl of chocolate, almond butter oats (1/2 cup chocolate milk, 1/2 cup almond breeze, 1/2 cup oats, 1 T almond butter):

Perfect way to start the morning.

I also had a small glass of OJ:

Lunch was a lean cuisine, an orange, and some crab dip with crackers:

I forgot to plug my car in all day, but luckily it started without a fight.

Dinner was some sole fish stuffed with king crab:

And some beets and corn:

A perfect, delicious combination.
The fish was SO good, I loved the addition of crab.

After dinner I went for a 1 hour massage to my new favourite massage therapist. I have had many massages from many different places, and this new lady is BY FAR the best!

Now I am going to snuggle up with a snack and a blanket to watch TV with the hubby. Ahhhh, to not have homework. This is the life!

Do you prefer crab or lobster?
I am not a big fan of lobster, and would rather have crab any day!

Good evening bloggie pants.

So today I felt a new sense of freedom, not having any classes or tests to worry about. I felt guilty all day though, like I was procrastinating and not doing homework that I should be doing - I guess it takes a while for that feeling to wear off!!

Before I get to my eats from today, last night I had a BIG snack because that test made me hannngry, and I eaten my dinner at 4:00 yesterday. My snack was some brown rice with hot sauce:

An orange:

And some pickles and cheese:

This morning for breakfast I had some eggs and rye toast:

And a glass of orange juice:

Lunch was a frozen dinner (Now that I am a little less busy, I will have time for better lunches I hope), and a babybel cheese. Yes I am addicted:

I also had vanilla yogurt topped with frozen blueberries, that melted just in time for lunch:

For dinner this evening I made a lovely veggie and tofu stir-fry with some Asian noodles tossed in to bulk it up:

I always eat stir-fry with chop sticks. It totally tastes better that way :-)

After dinner the hubby and I went shopping for picture frames and spent WAY too much money. We have been blowing through cash like it is going out of style lately, as we are busy decorating our newly (almost 100%) finished basement. I want it to be ready for all the Christmas festivities that will be taking place at our home. Before and after pictures will be up within a couple weeks for sure!!!

After blowing a million dollars (give or take a few bucks) we went for lattes to the local Starbucks/ Chapters. My city has no free standing Starbucks!!! Crazy hey!! They are all inside of either the Chapters/ Safeway/ or a hotel. I got a skinny, decaf, 1/2 sweet gingerbread latte.

Now I am about to make a soothing concoction for my throat, as I woke up with a sore throat ... again. Didn't this happen like 3 weeks ago!!?

What is your typical coffee order?

Good evening peeps! I hope you all had good Mondays back at the daily grind. Before I get to my eats from today, last night I had a Green Monster:

This guy had 1 cup of unsweetened almond breeze, 3 giant handfuls of spinach, a banana, a scoop of amazing grass, and 1/2 cup frozen blueberries. Delish!

This morning I wanted even more green nutrients, so I made another GM with almond breeze, 1 T almond butter, 1 T amazing grass, and a banana:

I swear these guys are going to help ward off all illnesses this winter. They are my elixir.

On the way to work I also had a cup of coffee, and one of these:

(Don't mind the chipped nail polish - it's sexy).

Lunch was my fave frozen entrée:

And a babybel cheese.

For an afternoon snack I had some source vanilla yogurt topped with blueberries:

Dinner was one of my favourite meals - stuffed pasta shells.

You brown some Italian sausage meat (you can squeeze it out of the sausages or buy it in a package) with some green pepper and onion:

While the meat is browning, you cook the jumbo pasta shells:

Once the meat is cooked, you add ricotta cheese, and some shredded parm (we didn't have Parmesan cheese, so I used Irish Stout Cheddar, which basically tastes like regular cheddar, but looks way cooler):

Heck, why not toss in some chopped spinach too:

Stir it up: (little darlin' stir it up)

Stuff those shells and top them with a red pasta sauce and more Irish Stout Cheddar (heck yeah):

Then gobble them up. This is my portion:

Of course, for the hubby there just weren't enough carbs in this pasta dish ... so he had some toast too (he is a rebel like that):

Pasta is probably one of my favourite things to cook, and I probably have more experience with making pasta dishes than any other kind of dish. I absolutely LOVE pasta.

What is your favourite pasta dish?
