Is the best way to study!
- It’s fresh air
- It’s exercise
- (Most importantly) There are no distractions (TV, internet, doorbells, kitchen)
KLM and I went on an hour walk with my Food Science flashcards. I feel 85% of the way there. It’s my first exam tomorrow at 11:30, followed by a 5pm Clinical test (not cumulative, thank goodness).
After the walk it was time for the pot-luck!
I heated up the remaining calzone in the oven for about 15 minutes and we split it. Definitely was not as good today, but a plus was that it was tough enough to eat “hot pocket” style with my hands.
Kelsey brought these bright salads –
Romaine, pepper, carrot, cuc, celery, olives plus a homemade dressing, a dollop of her goat cheese, 2 scoops of my avocado and 2 tbsp of Matt’s bean dip from yesterday. SO good.
We went 50/50 on the fruits – her grapefruit, my strawberries.
I received Danica’s package with the Annie’s dressings I won!! Thanks Danica!!
Can’t WAIT to try these 🙂
She also included a few more fun things – love Annie’s mac n’ cheese! And checkout that cute vegetable card 🙂
Now I am walking to the shopping center to meet Victoria for Biochem. And probably stopping into HT for a few groceries.
See ya tonight!
Courtney (The Hungry Yogini) says
Yummy lunch and what a sweet care package.
That calzone looks so tasty! I am going to have to try to make those =)
Have a great day!
brandi says
such a colorful lunch! have fun with all the rest of your studying – seems like it’s going well 🙂
Danielle says
Usually I love leftover calzone, too bad yours wasn’t as good.
I love your pot luck lunches and i think a friend and I are adopting your idea for Fridays, she is moving to an apartment right down the street from me and I’m so looking forward to having someone within walking distance!
Heather says
Looks like you made good use out of the leftover calzone! I agree that foods like that are never quite as good re-heated.
Great salad and I love the hint of fruit on the side! YUM!
Good luck studying this afternoon!
Question: Have you ever tried added plain, no sugar added applesauce to your oatmeal? I have some leftover and was wondering how this combo would work out. Do you think it would work? How much do you think I should add?
Thanks Kath!
Life.Art.MidnightSnacks. says
I actually think the applesauce idea sounds really good!
Run Sarah says
What a colorful salad! I may have to try study walking-hopefully I don’t run into anyone!
Shannon (The Daily Balance) says
lunch looks delish! I’m glad you were able to walk outside — it’s been pouring here for hours!
Have a great afternoon 😉
Sarah (lovINmytummy) says
If only there were a way to read/comment on blogs while walking. Oh yeah, I guess its an iPhone…
Emily says
In reference to a comment above about adding apple sauce to oatmeal. That is my all time favorite oatmeal combo. I do a regular serving of oatmeal, mix in half a cup of applesauce and top with lots of cinnamon. The texture is great and it fills me up.
Sharon says
What beautiful weather – it’s snowing where I am!
megan says
I tried to post this on the breakfast post but I think it got lost somewhere…
Has anybody made sourdough bread before? I just posted about it on my blog – whatmegansmaking.blogspot.com. I am having a hard time getting it right and could use some advice. I also left a comment for matt at brewandbake. If anybody has any suggestions for sourdough bread that won’t brown and doesn’t really taste like sourdough, let me know – I’d be very grateful! Thanks! 🙂

I love walking and reading 🙂

Studywalking .. Hmmm…any idea how many calories you burn? I am thinking of making that part of my day as you have inspired my to continue in my studies. I need to lose some lbs. perhaps a midday walk would amp up the old metabolism.
K says
Lunch looks fantastic! Love the colors of that salad!!
Can’t wait for your review on the dressings!
Danica says
Hi Kath! So glaad you got your goodies and they arrived safely! Can’t wait to hear what you think – you picked two of my favorites. I LOVE using the gingerly Vinaigrette as a marinade.
Your lunch still looks awesome today – you are making me want a calzone for sure.
Good luck studying and shopping – HT = stress release break 🙂
Mitzi says
Hi, so glad I found your blog!!! Saw you in the Winthrop Magazine this Spring!!! WU Alumni, 2004!!!
Congrats, the blog is amazing and you are a great food inspiration (and study inspiration), I’m working on my MACC at USC!!
Keep up the good work!
Mitzi
Rachel says
I’d love to see a pic of you study-walking 🙂
Gingerly vinaigrette is one of my faves! I hope you enjoy it.
Christina says
Annie’s honey bunny grahams are the best!
sue says
you two are such a great team when it comes to putting together yummy + healthy lunches!
Moran (The Running Addict) says
Love the Annie’s stuff – lucky you!
Jen says
I used to study-walk with a friend whenever I had memorizing to do for an exam. It worked like a charm. Good luck on the exam!
Rose says
studying and exercising at the same time = always a good plan.
Rose-Anne says
I used to read the newspaper as I delivered it on foot to my newspaper customers. They always got such a kick out of it! Your study-walking reminds me of those days 🙂
When I was in college, though, I always used exercise as a way of getting AWAY from the books!
Christine says
I bought the Lite Gingerly Vinaigrette the other day. I LOVE it!!! At that time I also got Annie’s Lite Honey Mustard Vinaigrette, which is also very good!!!
Melissa says
Good luck on your exams!!
Your lunch looks so fabulous!
JENNA says
your lunch looks great. As does your weather!
Tanya says
Good luck on your exams. Clinicals was always way harder than food science for me.
Brooke says
Mmm, I love Annie’s products!
Erika says
I LOVE Annie’s salad dressings…Enjoy them!!
Sending lots of good luck and calming energy your way….thinking about you on your exam day!!
Sarah (Tales of Expansion) says
i know you did the whole video tutorial on studywalking and all, but i still don’t think i could manage it without bumping into other people at every step! it would be such a perfect way to multi-task, though …
your potluck with kelsey worked out perfectly, as usual. you guys are so good at balancing what you bring!
Michelle Hisae says
Dang you get a lot of freebies! Lucky duck.
Adi (oatonomy.com - repaired!) says
I don’t think I can read and walk at the same time… I’d surely walk off the sidewalk and onto the road!
bobbi says
love me some Annies and I love your flowers Kath!
Hallie says
I have that ginger salad dressing so I’m looking forward to your review! I thought you weren’t big on packaged dressings though (ok…now I just realized how sad it is that I know your condiment preferences and can question you about them…)
Kaley says
I walk and read all the time (to class, from class, etc.) and people are astounded by it!
Kara says
Oooh I can’t wait to see the reviews on those.
zestycook says
Great package from Danica! Your potluck looks great:)
Kath says
Heather ,
I never have applesauce on hand, but sounds like a winner.
Sarah (lovINmytummy),
If I had one, you know I would 🙂
Mitzi ,
Cool!! Thanks for stopping by 🙂
Rachel ,
There’s a video at FatFighterTV’s Weight Loss Woo Hoo page!

Hallie ,
You are correct – I like very few bottled dressings (and canned soups!) but I really do like Annie’s. They don’t taste fake to me (probably from lack of onion flakes). They taste like I made them. At least the Woodstock and Tahini ones do. We’ll see about these!

Kori (All Things B.) says
I love that Annie’s Roasted Red Pepper Vinaigrette! It’s the star of my favorite summer salad with grilled peppers and orzo!
