Kelsey and I packed up and trekked to campus around 2:30. I packaged up some more fresh fruit to continue my fruit feud, but Tasha hasn’t been bringing her big mixes! Nevertheless, fresh, sweet fruit is SO GOOD in the middle of class.
I ate most of the fruit in Foodservice around 4:30 and saved the rest for Clinical at 5.
I had snack #2 at 5:30 (it was a hungry day!) LaraBars are also doubly delicious during class!
Class got out a little early tonight!! After our long FREEZING ride back to Charlotte, I came home to find a bag of homemade croutons! They were so good and hit the spot. I had about 6.
Then I had a real dinner of leftover Tofu Quiche (still amazing)
And a bunch of steamed broccoli (microwaved in about 2 tbsp of water for 2 minutes) tossed in some Country Bob’s Spicy Sauce!
And one of my aunt’s frozen Coconut Cranberry Oat Cookies. I would kill for this recipe – they get better each time I have one!
A Fake Out:
Because this is where I really ate – but I knew the photos would look better on wood 🙂 With Sex and The City!
I’ve got a surprise for you all in the morning that Yo Gonna Love!
zestycook says
Kath – those cookies look amazing! And you know I love surprises 🙂
Victoria says
Oooo. Yoga surprise? Sounds exciting. 🙂

Hi Kath — those oatmeal cookies seem like this recipe:
http://www.cooks.com/rec/view/0,1610,159185-226202,00.html
Except I add cinnamon, raisins, and a little extra oil (they are not low-fat!) if the batter seems dry.
Michelle (PinQue) says
Girls day on Sunday to see the movie? I think that sounds fabulous! Is it sad that we communicate through blog comments now? Ha, ha!
Bec says
I love eating frozen cookies, my dad and I joke that that is the real way to eat cookies!
Tara says
haha, “fruit feud”. loves it.
Sharon says
Love your fresh fruit!
Maggie says
Can’t wait for the surprise!! I love SatC.
Diana (Soap & Chocolate) says
SATC is such quality dining entertainment when there is no live company to be had. 🙂 I’m currently obsessed with Lara Bars and I’m on a mission to try every flavor in existence!
Ashley H says
I just wanted to let you I bought kiwis this weekend and decided I would try eating them with the skin on (just like you do) and I love it. I cant believe I have been throwing them away for all these years!!
Sarah says
I need to try that Spicy Sauce! I love finding new things to flavor broccoli with. Thanks for the idea!
seelee live (for the love of peanut butter) says
yoga surprise? would could be better?!!!!
HangryPants says
I can’t wait for the yoga suprise!
Alison says
Kath, I have to tell you – I am SO glad I am not in your class! I would be so insanely jealous of all of that fruit… I think I would just stare and drool!! Can’t wait for the surprise!!!
Heather McD (Heather Eats Almond Butter) says
Mmm, broccoli and Sex In The City. Sounds like a great dinner to me!
Can’t wait to read about the surprise!
Sheila says
I love everything you prepare and the photos. This one has me stumped however. Why bother with using tofu in the quiche when you’re putting all that cheese in? At that point, might as well just spring for the eggs.
theoddbod says
is the surprise yoquichegurt?
Lynna says
Just wanted to let you know I made some Carrot Raisin Walnut Muffins yesterday (partially inspired by the one you ate a few days ago). Here’s a link to my post including the recipe (it’s pretty healthy!) if you’re interested.

Sarah (lovINmytummy) says
Hmm…I think you and Tasha should build a friendship with fruit…not feud. Use your fruit for good, not evil!
Lauren says
I’ve got a question for ya’. I’m fairly new to your blog, so sorry if someone has already asked you about this. You always have such beautiful veggies in all of your meals, so I was wondering what your secret is. Do you have to go to the store a lot so your veggies are fresh? Do you typically plan ahead the veggies that you’ll need, or do you stock up on things you like knowing you’ll be able to incorporate them into whatever you decide to cook? And finally, is there a list of “veggie staples” you always like to have on hand that are easy to incorporate into recipes?? I typically keep bell peppers around, but I’d love to know what some other good veggies are that are great to keep on hand.
Thanks!!

I bet you would like these yummy cookies too. They have lots of the same ingredients cranberries, oatmeal, coconut….
Loaded Oatmeal Cookies
Ingredients:
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1 cup butter, melted and cooled slightly
2 vanilla beans (optional, I had them already)
1 tsp vanilla
2 large eggs
1 tbl oil
2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
3 cups oatmeal
1 cup raisins
6 oz white chocolate chips or chunks
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup packed coconut, toasted
Additional granulated sugar for rolling the cookies in
Directions:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Once heated, toast coconut till lightly browned, remove and set aside to cool.
In one bowl, combine sugars and vanilla bean seeds. Pour in butter, eggs, vanilla and oil. Stir until smooth.
In separate bowl, combine the remaining ingredients (flour through coconut) and mix well with fork.
Combine the wet and dry ingredients in one bowl. My flour bowl was larger, so I added the wet ingredients into the dry. The batter will be thick. I ended up finishing the mixing using my hands.
Use a tablespoon size cookie scoop to prepare evenly sized cookies. Roll each cookie in sugar and place at least two inches apart on parchment lined cookie sheet. Bake for 11-13 minutes, or until the edges begin to brown. The centers will still be pale and moist. Cool cookies on cookie sheets until the center is set. Cool completely and serve.
Makes about 36 cookies.
Elina says
Ooh, looking forward to the surprise… 🙂
That bowl of fruit looks SO fresh! I’m making one of these for work tomorrow!
Lauren says
Kath! Not sure if you watch Top Chef, but Bravo and Quaker Oats have teamed up for the “Quaker Oats Viewer Quickfire Challenge” – you can submit an original recipe featuring Quaker Oats for a chance to win.
http://quickfire.bravotv.com/quickfire/index.php
Just thought I’d share this with you given your love of oats 🙂
Beadie @ What I Ate Yesterday says
Glad you were able to make it to and from class safely!!
Kath says
Fancy ,
LOL.
Annalisa + Lynna + karly ,
Thanks for the recipes! I saved them with Springpad 🙂
Ashley H,
I LOVE the skin!!
Alison ,
Hahaha – that’s why you’d start bringing your own too!
Sheila ,
There are so many reasons to use tofu – the taste, texture, benefits of soy, etc. It doesn’t have to be all or nothing.
Lauren ,
Great question. I plan our meals for the week, including the vegetables we’ll need for dinners. But then I also always get a salad green (romaine, spinach, etc.) and 2-3 “salad topper” veggies, usually carrots and a bell pepper, perhaps tomato. Inevitably we have some veggies leftover from the dinners that I can steal for salads or spontaneous meals too.
Lauren ,
Thanks for the link, but I can’t be in NYC for the winner competition so I can’t submit a recipe 🙁

Danielle says
I love watching Sex and The City while eating dinner. I’m alone for dinner a few nights a week while my boyfriend works at a pharmacy so it’s those nights I pull out SATC while eating.
