Today was a busy day! Waking up at 7am for my 8am Geology lab was not easy but I did it and was so proud of myself.
Not only did I make it to class on time but I also managed to make a delicious healthy breakfast in under ten minutes before I had to run out the door. I microwaved some old fashioned oats and topped them with a banana and a 6oz serving of Chobani’s Apple Cinnamon Greek yogurt. I love mixing Chobani in with oats in the morning for a super filling, protein-packed breakfast. All the flavors work well for it but I think I found the one that works the best! The cinnamon and apple are so complimentary to the oats and banana without being overpowering or underwhelming. I enjoyed every single bite! And bonus: I didn’t spill any on myself! You would think this would go without saying but after last week’s early morning eating I’ve learned to celebrate the little achievements! ;p
After my lab I needed to run home and make a quick lunch before getting some stuff done off my to-do list. I threw some sweet potatoes in the oven and reheated a veggie burger from yesterday. It was just as good a day later.
After heading back to school for my Excel class and then working on a paper I came home at the end of the day and completely crashed. It felt so good to nap. When I woke up I was pretty hungry so I decided to make protein pasta with yellow pepper, onion, tomatoes, garlic, and ground up veggie burger. I know it looks a little different but it tasted so good! I wanted to use up the last veggie burger before I leave for Josh’s tomorrow so I mashed it up with the veggies and cooked it with the pasta, topping it in cheese. It was delicious and so filling.
I’m about to get ready for bed but I wanted to leave you guys with a super hysterical clip from one of my favorite shows, The Big Bang Theory. What girl doesn’t want a tiara?

I love this show, I love Sheldon, and your food looks great as always! I use the veggie burgers (and the last bit of things) in creative ways myself! I hope the internship comes through for you and the future prospects as well!
Erin says
Aw thank you so much! I’m keeping my fingers crossed!
And Sheldon is a riot, its hard to pick a favorite character on that show but I love him!
Val says
That pasta dish looks soo good! So good that I just finished lunch and it made me hungry again haha.
I usually say that my biggest weakness is public speaking, and strengths are being a fast learner and the ability to work independently but also well on a team.
Erin says
Those are awesome strengths!! So many places are stressing team based work now, my favorite way to work is still solo, I have to get better about that.
And thanks so much! It was delicious! I hope your lunch was yummy!

Erin! I got my lovely package the other day, and wanted to let you know! I am SO excited to try all of the flavors, I’ve so far tried the cranberry 🙂 My coworker was so fascinated by it! Lol, so we had a discussion about how we could make them ourselves:) I love the ingredients used in them and once again want to thank you a ton for the giveaway!
And The Big Bang Theory is my boyfriend’s FAVORITE show! I watch it with him sometimes and it’s hilarious!
Erin says
YAY! I’m so glad you got your package and enjoy it!! All the flavors are SO good! And isn’t Big Bang great? It never fails to make me laugh!
