Ok, well I am starting to get better at this posting thing! Only at posting though, as you may have noticed, I have yet to post any pictures of food!
I got online last night and had all my pictures ready to go to be talked about and I was then clueless as to how to upload them. I know I could upload them to a picture hosting site, but I am too lazy to go through all that work and I thought there was an easier way to upload them staight from my desktop. If anyone could be of assistance that’d be great.
Unfortunately, my blog has encountered another problem as well. I have no idea how to change the theme! There are tons of themes that I like a lot better than this one! But I can’t seem to figure out how to change it. Once again, help would be nice!
All right, so since I don’t have any pictures for you, I would describe what has been going on in my stomach!
This morning I was so enthused to make an “Elvis Smoothie” from Veggiegirl (linking to other pages is also something I don’t know how to do ahh!!) Anyways, I walked downstairs and looked in my freezer for a couple bananas I had frozen a while ago. I pulled out the bag and there were 4 banana chunks. Four chunks!! What kind of smoothie could I make with 4 chunks of banana!!! A very small one, that’s what!I quartered the recipe and ended up getting about 4 slurps of Elvis, and every one was delicious!
Since it is summer, I have not been getting up early enough to eat a filling breakfast and be hungry by lunch time so I haven’t any breakfast favorites. I have really been craving them too! I was so close to making pancakes for lunch today, but almost as soon as I pulled the pancake ingredients out, a craving for a veggie burger was flung on me by some evil veggie burger force. Luckily, we had just bought some vegan boca burgers. (Even though I wish my family were vegan, I am glad that I get to eat whatever I feel like each meal rather eating what my family eats)
As of late, I like most other bloggers have been trying hard to eat healthier and perhaps lose some of those freshman 15 pounds!! Unfortunately, veggie burgers are not low in calories. (No surprise there) We also made pizza for dinner which was okay. I haven’t mastered the art of vegan pizza yet. I don’t know which toppings are good to combine and which ones are nasty. Tonight, I used FYH mozzorella cheese and black olives on my entire pizza. Then on one quarter of it, I put roasted red peppers and on another quarter I put some broccoli (following Jennifer McCann’s example). Usually I have an open mind about things and am pretty creative. I think it was the fact that our fridge was low on veggies and the idea of bread, tomato sauce and said veggies would not meld too well. All in all, it was not bad, just blah, really.
Currently, I am at home a lot! Like all day. Right now, I only have a job on weekends. For now, that is good for me because my things still need to be cleaned up from moving back in, but in June, I will starting a new job and probably will have less time to cook (which I am ashamed to say is lacking even when I have plenty of time.)
Ending on a happy note, I hope you all have a great Wednesday!!
