Not-so-pretty bowls of food

As I was just looking over some pictures of my eats from today and yesterday, I realized there were many bowls of not-so-great looking food items. Delicious nonetheless, so I still had to show them...even the turkey chili!

Lets rewind to yesterday. For breakfast I had a nice hot bowl of steel cut oats. I made a batch this weekend, portioned them into bowls then added toppings before coming to work, heated at work with banana then ate!
I had the same this today, so I'll throw in both pics now!These bowls were made with 2/3 milk, 1/3 water (ratio not cups), and I added a small amount of apricot preserves (actually forgot this in today's bowl), dried cherries, chopped dried apricots, chopped walnuts, and half of a chopped banana for each day. After heating, I drizzled with a tiny bit of real maple syrup.

Lunch yesterday missed the camera because we had a "Lunch and Learn" at work...I was rushing to get to it.
My meal, however, was very similar to Monday's dinner... 1/2 ham and turkey sandwich, with American cheese, Dijon mustard, and tomato...toasted!

Along with my sandwich I had a salad with green leaf lettuce, broccoli slaw, cucumber, and tomato with Newman's Own light Caesar.

I had dance last night (class and rehersal), so before I left work I had a good snack: TJ's blueberry Greek yogurt, strawberries, and granola!
I also prepped my "dinner" that I eat in between class and rehearsal. Half of a PB&J and a LARGE appleI always look forward to that PB&J...mmmm. Rehearsal went til about 10! I am SO tired today, my coffee really hasn't helped.

This morning was my "Wednesday morning" when I pack two days worth of breakfast, lunch, and snacks because I usually stay at the fiance's. Here's my packed counter while prepping!Yum! This bread is awesome, and I will be having the spinach tomorrow.


Below is: bowl of turkey chili (left), oatmeal (right), cereal for tomorrow (top) and LARGE banana!
For today's lunch I had the chili, with some sour cream on the side, half of a slice of bread toasted with American cheese and tomato slices.
And a side salad....lettuce, broccoli slaw, tomato, and Annie's light Honey Mustard dressing.

Filling! I just had a mid afternoon snack (sans picture) of an Ellie's Walnut and Dried Cherry Bar that my roommate made. She's made them before, but this time doubled the apple sauce...I think it makes them even better, more moist! YUM!

Tonight Brian has a soccer game at 10PM!! Ugg! So late, I need a nap beforehand maybe :)
