Pasta and Cupcakes and Banana Bread, OH MY

We'll start off with yesterday :), but first, I should mention that Monday night I AGAIN had to have another midnight bowl of cereal- it's a terribly delicious habit. It was Nature's Path Maple Sunrise- the best!


Tuesday:


For some reason I woke feeling starving despite the fact I had a late night bowl of cereal, so before heading out to class, I grabbed the other half of the Odwalla bar from the day before. It helped keep my stomach growls at bay through my morning lecture class, but as soon as I got out of it, I was really hungry again. Mikey and I had a delicious lunch at Specialty's Cafe & Bakery and I even managed t snap a picture of the infamous sandwich I always get (though I only remembered after I inhaled the first half, hah!):

My version of "The Vegetarian" contains:

• avocado
• cukes
• pickles
• red onion
• tomato
• lettuce
• bell pepper
• sprouts
• mushroms
• whole grain mustard
• swiss cheese

While we we in the UVillage, we picked up a couple cupcakes from Trophy Cupcakes to enjoy for dessert later. I got Chocolate Peanut Butter :)!

Then I had to quickly read a critical essay before going to my afternoon English class.

After class I was super sleepy so it was nap time for a couple of hours :D.

Afterwards, Mikey and I headed into Bellevue to go shopping at the mall at then grab dinner at Maggiano's because we had a $20 gift certificate to use.

I got a special that included:

• bow-tie pasta
• chicken
• asparagus
• spinach
• sundried tomatoes
• parmigiano reggiano
• and a delicious parmesan broth

Their potions are HUGE so I only ate about half, but I was happy to be able to box the rest up and take it home. I also had my fair share of the bread and olive oil/balsamic on the table.

At around 11, we decided to break out the cupcakes. I enjoyed mine with a tall glass of milk- sooo delicious! I loved the peanut butter frosting! It was sprinkled with a crumbled peanut/sugar/salt mixture that was wonderful, but could have been a bit saltier.

Wednesday (today):

After my morning class, Mikey and I headed over to Panera for an early-ish (11am) lunch. I got the You-Pick-2 with a 1/2 Greek Salad and their tasty Pesto Garden Vegetable Soup with a Whole Grain Baguette. Mmmm!

After my afternoon class today, I did some baking. I made a glorious Chocolate-Peanut Butter Banana Bread that you will see over on my other blog in the next couple of days.

I snacked on a couple baby Anzac Biscuits, and then decided it was dinner time.

Dinner was leftover pasta from Maggiano's with a small piece of buttered french bread on the side- the best!

And, naturally, I had to a have piece of the banana bread that I baked for dessert with a glass of milk :)
