If you are thinking of what to make for dinner tonight, try these zucchini boats! I found this recipe while reading one of the health magazines in Barnes and Noble:

I made this dinner last night and it was a veggie filled night. I snacked before dinner on half a left-over DQ blizzard from the weekend. Completely ruined my appetite. Anyway, these boats are very simple and can be filled with whatever you like. Next time, I might try to put in the mix tofu for added protein! First,

• Slice zucchini in half.
• Scrape out the inside of the zucchini, set aside to use for later.
• Drizzle with oil.
• Grill/bake zucchini until tender, ten minutes or so.
• Mean while, mix in a bowl: tomato, garlic, basil, set aside zucchini, goat cheese.
• Fill boats with mixture and grill for another 5 min or until cheese begins to melt.
• ENJOY! 
  

  veggies galore

I had a bit of the zucchini mixture left over and sprinkled that on top of my salad. Also, we grilled corn. Do you grill your corn with the husks still on? It peels so much better that way! Try it.

Good Morning and Happy Hump Day! For breakfast, a delicious smoothie!

In the mix:

• 1 cup spinach
• 1 c almond milk
• handful of frozen cherries
• 1 frozen banana
• 3/4 scoop vanilla protein powder

Do you pack your lunch for work? Do you do it at night or in the morning? There is something about packing my lunch that I dread. I don’t like gathering all of my goodies and putting them into separate little baggies, I don’t like doing it in the morning because then I feel rushed, but at night, the last thing I feel like doing is making my lunch. I enjoy lots of little snacks throughout the day, which makes my lunch bag look like a small grocery store. Here’s what my lunch looks like for today:

Alongside my tuna sandwich, cherries and carrots, I packed a baggie of almonds, some natural veggie sticks (like chips) and two clementines. I snack on the almonds and clementines mid-morning. This lunch is very typical for me. Very. Well, I’m off to the bakery! Just think, it’s not Monday.
