With the recent nip in the air and the appearance of Christmas wreaths at my local Whole Foods, I was definitely feeling in the yuletide spirit today: "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas" would have made for the perfect soundtrack. Oddly enough, I checked my iPod, and Johnny Mathis's Christmas album was conspicuously absent from my "holiday collection." Somehow, I managed to download every Christmas album my family owns onto Nestor the Nano...except for dear old Johnny's. Hmph. I'll be sure to put that on my Thanksgiving to-do list.
I spent the day in the typical Friday manner: gym, Whole Foods, laundry...plus watching Duke win a championship game:) Here are the goods that I ate in between:
Wednesday
I think this smoothie was a strawberry-pineapple-coconut concoction with the usual soymilk and Nutribody protein. I'm sure it was delicious.
Thursday
I had a presentation yesterday morning for my Gender & Language class, so I spent breakfast worrying/preparing for that. My nervousness was temporarily assuaged by some PomegranPlus waffles with pom seeds and a pear with almond butter.
After the gym, I had to meet with a TA to work on my stat paper. As a result, I didn't return to the apartment until later, so my tummy didn't have patience for creative cuisine. I decided to try something that I've heard is popular in Britain: bean 'n toast. Not bad. I also had some broccoli, a salad with Woodstock dressing, and an orange.
At half-time of the Duke-S. Illinois game, I took a break for dinner. Baked tofu with bottled peanut sauce, stir-fried veggies, and whole grain couscous made for a delicious supper.
The smoothie last night consisted of the absolute last of my frozen fruit: a frozen banana, sliced peaches, soymilk, and Nutribody protein. Tasty, although next time I'll add some cinnamon.
Friday
I treated myself to some tofu-banana French toast this morning. I topped the two slices with pom seeds, sliced banana, and almond butter. Yum.
Lunch today was another "hash" meal; I just threw some leftovers/staples into a pan and hoped for the best. This mish-mash included leftover baked beans, spinach, red onion, nutritional yeast, and Bragg's. On the side, I had a whole wheat sandwich thin and an apple with PB.
I just finished dinner about an hour ago due to the evening's basketball game. When I returned to the apartment, I made a quick tofu scramble with zucchini, tahini, ginger, and soy sauce. I served it alongside pita wedges, an orange, and a salad with mozzarella.
Now I am off to fuss with my pedicure for tomorrow. What's your favorite color of nail polish?
Happy Friday!

You are right about baked beans on toast being popular in the UK (espeically with students- in fact there is a student cookbook entitled 'Beyond baked beans'!)
Christmas music and Whole Foods? Where do I sign up :) Love the name of your ipod haha
My fav. nail polish: OPI's Dusk Over Cairo - I'm really pale so anything too dark makes me look ghostly!
Delish meals as always!
Beans on Toast is quite a delicacy (I really cant spell) The woodstock dressing looks yum.

ksgoodeats: Seriously, we need to hang out--Christmas music and Whole Foods are probably two of my most favorite things!
I am really pale too, so I have to be careful about looking ghostly as well!
