Counteracting the Candy

Oh November. I like you but your presence is a little bittersweet. You?re a fresh month, full of new excitements and possibilities?and yet you bring with you more work crammed into 30 days than I dare want to even think about. If October is the month of midterms, November is the month of essays. Not one of my top three that?s for sure.

But I will survive, I will survive, just as long as I know how to write I know I?ll stay alive?

Unfortunately essay writing is not my forte so I?ll be surviving by a thread.

Anybody love essay writing? Better yet, anyone want to write all of mine for me? ;)

So that Halloween thing just happened. Who else grew a third arm from the adverse effects of chocolate overload?

Mine was only temporary. Probably because I fought it off with so many veggies.

And menacing looks.

And plenty more veggies:

Sauteed kale, slaw and brussel sprouts in balsamic with spelt veggie burger and roasted red pepper dip.

Spinach, cucumbers, rice burger, red pepper dip, mustard.

Kale chips with ketchup & Egg Beater omelette with salsa and Laughing Cow

Romaine, spinach and cucs with red pepper dip & canned salmon mixed with Laughing Cow, lemon juice and Worcestershire.

Spinach and roasted squash

Spinach, steamed broccoli, carrots, slaw, mushrooms, balsamic & chunks of vegepate. 

I may have also eaten an entire batch of Pumpkin Spice Granola? all by myself? over the course of several days or course?uh yeah.

I also discovered I may never need to buy Deep Chocolate Vitatops again?!

Katie?s Triple Chocolate Chunk Muffins really are truly a genius Vitamuffin replacement. I only used a few small packets of Stevia instead of the Splenda so mine were a little bitter but otherwise, definitely making these again.

Let?s not forget the sushi fix ? Green Dragon roll! This one was long overdue.

Or the new hummus discovery ? Masala Hummus. If you have access to the PC brand and like Indian food? you need to try this hummus. Couldn?t get enough.

And then of course the best meal of the day should never be forgotten ? BREAKFAST.

Whole wheat waffle topped with plain yogurt/sugar free maple syrup mix + flax + banana

Oats & Notes ? oats cooked stovetop style, topped with a dollop of orange-y yogurt mixed with peanut butter.

Giant cereal bowls with puffed rice, All Bran, strawberry yogurt, vanilla protein powder sprinkle, frozen banana slices and skim milk. Seriously, cereal never gets t.

And then we have the winner?

Ezekiel Cinnamon Raisin Bread FRENCH TOAST (dipped in a mixture of egg whites, almond milk, cinnamon and stevia) with a spread of red pepper jelly.

Oh my lanta.

But forget breakfast. We?re past supper now and the only thing left to do is school work. I?m not too sure how I?m going to go about this one?

On second thought, I think I?ll go get some bubble tea first. I need some Boba fuel! Except I now order mine with the newly offered aloe jellies. Defreakinglicious.

Happy Humpday!
