Another long day

Well, I’ve realized that I’m going to be working much longer hours than I had thought! I managed to leave on time today, but only because I had an appointment to get to – tomorrow I could be there until dark! I’m starting to worry about my biking time now. At least my wallet will be happy I guess because I need to keep this job for the summer (it’s tied into school as a placement)

Tonight’s supper was a chicken stir-fry with veggies (I was too hungry to even see what ones my mom put in!) all wrapped up in a whole wheat tortilla.

It was delicious! I believe my mom made a variation of the recipe Bohemian Wrapsody from Crazy Plates.

I snacked on some strawberries too while I was waiting, but they kept getting popped into my mouth too fast for a photo-op

While I’m at it, I’ll do a preview of tomorrow since I have to be at work early tomorrow morning. I’m having muesli with some frozen berries (thawed) and avocado if I remember it in the morning. Here it is in my hand, on the way to my fridge:

Later I’ll have a ham and veggie wrap with some carrots and an apple.

Hope you have a good night and I’ll try to make it back for supper tomorrow. I might have to eat on the job though, which means no photos again. I don’t want to break my camera or lose it.

I’ll regret that later…

I’m going to be hungry this afternoon for shure! I ate lunch at 11:15 because I’m on my way out to class in a minute. I hate lunchtime classes! I had burritos in mind, but I’m not sure that’s what I’d call the end product… I’ll let you decide! I had two small wraps filled with adzuki beans, brown rice and mushrooms. As usual, I heates these a couple of munutes in the frying pan. Not only does this give them a nice warm crispy texture, it also “glues” them shut nicely.

After class I think I’m going to try out my free soup I’ve only got a quick break between my next two classes, then a quick supper at school and off to my evening class. I’ll probably only get back to post my supper around 9PM. See you then!

Double Trouble!

So I picked up some more tortillas the other day because I was enjoying my wrap craze so much. I don’t know what came over me, but I decided to get the small ones. Let me tell you, these bring on some major wrap explosions! Luckily I managed to keep it under control, but it was tough for a while there

My solution? Two wraps, each filled with half a chickpea cutlet and spinach. The first one also had cucumber slices (which I forgot in the second)

The second had cheese (which I forgot in the first).

I guess all together I ended up with all the fillings that I wanted! I heated the rolled up wraps in the frying pan for a couple of minutes so they got a bit crispy on the sides.

It’s still only 7 degrees out, so I don’t know if we’ll make it to the forecasted 14, but it’s still way too gorgeous to stay inside!

Almost supper, but here’s breakfast and lunch!

Whew! exam #1 done and I think I did well! Here’s a quick recap of my food so far today:

I had a reverse day, so I ate my lunch at breakfast: another “Acropolis Sandwich” with chicken, tomatoes, zucchini, mushrooms and tzatziki, all wrapped up in a white whole wheat tortilla.

After having lunch for breakfast, I had breakfast for lunch, also in the form of a wrap: filled with a scrambled egg, mushrooms, spinach and cheese this time. I’m sensing a theme today of on the go foods!

Sorry for the photo quality, they were quick ones! I’ll be back later tonight with my dinner post, and then I’ll be doing some relaxing!

“Acropolis Sandwich”

One of the things I love about the three cookbooks by Janet & Greta Podleski is that all the recipes have such fun names! Tonight I’m eating an Acropolis Sandwich from Looneyspoons:

This is actually supposed to be a Greek-style pita stuffed with chicken, veggies and tzatziki sauce, but I used a tortilla since that’s what I have on hand. I definitely prefer these tortillas warm and toasted, this one was too processed-tasting and doughy (not in the good way!) I hate it when my tortilla gets stuck to the roof or my mouth!

For desert, I cut up an apple and was planning on sprinkling it with cinnamon, but I sat down at my desk and realized that I had left the cinnamon in the kitchen. I was too lazy to go get it, so I ate my apple slices as they were.

Would you beleive that’s just one *small* apple, maybe 2″ diameter? I was amazed that by slicing it thinly it looked like so much more!

Evening snack: cheese quesadilla and mixed fruit with yogurt. Living alone, it’s hard to buy things like bread because I either have to eat a lot of it or it goes bad. I know it freezes, but my shoebox-sized freezer just doesn’t have room in it. Tortillas are no exception, so be prepared to see them fairly often this week!

I made this guy pretty thin, with just enough cheese to stick the two sides together basically! I also put some jalapeños and (of course) BBQ sauce in there. If I had any salsa, I would be in heaven! Unfortunately, I don’t have any and I’m not going to buy any because I’m starting the process of cleaning out my cupboards in preparation for my end-of-school move.

Of course, I was still hungry after eating this, so I decided on some more of my yummy frozen fruit, which I dropped into the bottom of my yogurt container (maybe 1/4 cup of yogurt?) I didn’t take a photo because the tall yogurt container cast too many shadows in my dimly lit kitcken and you couldn’t really tell what was in there. I definitely should have thawed the fruit first – I’m freezing now! On that note, I’m off to warm up in my nice cozy bed, see you in the morning!
