Before I left this morning I finally made some of the highly hyped "pumpkin pie oatmeal", that I see all over blogland! I wasn't really craving oatmeal this morning, but it was such a chilly morning that I really wanted something that would warm me up from the inside...therefore, oatmeal it was! I didn't have any bananas, so it was time to try the pumpkin.
My oats this morning consisted of:
1/2 cup oats
3/4 cup skim milk
salt
vanilla
1/4 cup pumpkin
cinnamon
nutmeg
a little ground cloves
a spoonful of pumpkin butter
drizzle of maple syrup
crushed graham cracker
spoon with a little AB
I'd say this was pretty good, but not as great at hoped...wasn't sweet enough or pumpkin pie enough for me I guess...I feel like I added a lot of spices but maybe more? Or just something else. Hmmm. Again, though, I love my classic steel cut best. This was VERY filling though, I couldn't even finish it!!
I didn't get hungry again til almost 3! My mom was cute and left me $20 to get some food while studying, so finally I decided to order from my FAV Greek place... The Aegean. I've been eating at this place for as long as I can remember...and get this...when I was younger (must of been elementary age) I used to ask for my salads with.....NO FETA!!! What was I thinking?!?!? It's amazing when I think of all the foods I never wanted to try when I was little, that I now LOVE!
I ordered their Greek Salad with grilled chicken, and Navy bean soup...
Oh and lets not forget all the bread and pitas they give you....mmmm yummy soft pita bread.
I portioned out some salad (its huge), and ate about half the soup as well...I was Full!
Although not full enough to forget about the Halloween candy that mom already bought...
This is my "work area" today... SO.MANY.BOOKS. This exam is open book and you need so many references!! I'm going to bring a rolling suitcase for my books the day of (and this is pretty common)...because it took me 4 trips to the car today :(
I really wanted to get in some sort of run/walk today but we'll see...Back to work!
