I'm Baaacckk!!

Hi!! My internet works, hooray!  Now I feel normal again!  I'll have to take some pictures of my teeny tiny kitchen to show you all what I'm working with!  I'm living in a small studio to start with, but man is that a miniscule space!  Luckily, it's more workable than I thought it would be!  

Well I did take pictures of my dinner last night, so I'll start with that.  I had Cheese Tortellini with Garlicky Spinach. Pretty typical, huh?  Well I had about 2/3 of bag of spinach left.  I bought it when I was craving spinach earlier in the week and have not made a salad since.  It was going to go bad if I didn't use it soon, so I mixed it with some tortellini! First I sauteeed the spinach with 3 cloves of garlic (I like it strong!) in some EVOO. Then just stirred it all together and sprinkled some red pepper flakes and parmesan.  

That was a very lovely, garlicky dinner.  I cooked all of the tortellini up so you'll be seeing it again!

Breakfast was Cinnamon Blueberry Oats: 

In the bowl: 
  • 1/3 cup oats, skim milk, water
  • a heaping 1/3 cup of frozen blueberries (probably closer to 1/2 cup)
  • drizzle of agave nectar
  • spoonful of ground flax seed
  • crumbled up Kashi Cinnamon Harvest Shredded Wheat as a topper
  • spoonful of almond butter stirred in at the end
I think the picture looks kind of messy and a little gross, but trust me it was delicious! Btw, I'm very happy to have some almond butter back in my life.  I hadn't replenished my stock in over a month!  I use Trader Joe's Creamy Unsalted.  It's the cheapest I've come by and very tasty.  Anyone else know of a good, cheap* almond butter? (*cheap is relative here)
