Red & Green

Seasons Greetings!

Did you survive Tuesday? It’s always the worst day of the week (in my opinion). Did you do anything festive? I loved seeing cheerful Christmas lights adorning the houses on my drive home tonight.

My PB&J bowl filled me up nicely, but I was still hungry for a small lunch before heading to class:

• 1/2 whole wheat pita with hummus, tomato, cucumber & lettuce
• 2 satsumas – so sweet & juicy!
• mini Luna – Nutz Over Chocolate

Dinner…

I did not plan to have a red & green dinner. No…I would never do such a thing! ; )

• Trader Giotto’s Spinach & Ricotta Ravioli + Tomato Basil Marinara
• baby lettuces, tomato, avocado, chevre, olive oil + balsamic

Note to Self: Do not eat marinara at your computer desk. My laptop got some festive red decorations as well : )

Joy to the World

HAPPY DECEMBER!

I hope your day month is starting off on a high note. I love this month for so many reasons – gift giving, twinkling lights, snowmen, baking, peppermint, family traditions, stockings, cozy fires, the list is endless…

…and gingerbread houses : ) I made this entire house from scratch my senior year of high school in my Restaurant Occupations class – the best assignment ever! Can you spot Rudolph?

Of course I had to fix myself a cup of Candy Cane Lane Green Tea first thing this morning, and to go along…a bowl of PB&J bran.

• 1 1/4 cup water
• 1/2 cup oat bran
• 1 heaping T each PB & apricot jam
• splash of skim milk

Look at that steam!

What do enjoy most about this time of year?
