thank goodness that Netflix has stuff that you can play automatically from your computer!  That makes me oh so happy!  I didn’t get to watch Grey’s Anatomy at all last season and I am finally getting caught up, hopefully soon I will actually be able to watch what’s on right now.

So that’s what I’m doing right now as I’m finishing up eating lunch.

But let me back up a bit.  On Tuesdays and Thursdays breakfast is to go.  (because I have to get up at 4:30 am!)

So simple and easy it was!

PB&J to go with a banana and some coffee to go!

Then I was on the road.  The coffee didn’t help much this morning- I was sooooo sleepy on my drive.  I had to keep opening the window to get some cold air on my face.  I ended up getting to school about 30 mins early so what did I do?  I turned the heater on toasty warm and took a 15 minute power nap in the car!  It made all the difference and I am feeling much less sleepy now.

Chemistry lab suuuuucks.  That’s all I have to say about that.  I don’t want to think about it any more than I have to and I’m really ready to be done with it!

Right now I’m in the library and I just finished lunch.  I had a turkey sammich with sharp cheddar, some baked kettle chips(yum!), baby carrots, and a honeycrisp!

Okay, gotta hit the books!  I have another test tomorrow.

was what was for dinner tonight!  I adapted it from a Rachael Ray recipe (she made it on her show the other day).

Basically I took some eggplant (2 small ones), zucchini (2 small ones), and a red onion and grilled it all up.  (I used my grill pan because we didn’t have any charcoal for the outside grill)

Then when that was done, I whirred it all together in the food processor (in three batches- too much for one batch, it would have overflowed) with 2 small cans of fire roasted tomatoes, 2 cups of chicken broth, a head of roasted garlic (which I made ahead of time), and some roasted red peppers.

Look at this roasted garlic- so good!  (and so easy to make…cut off one end of a head of garlic, drizzle with EVOO, wrap in foil, bake at 425 for 45 mins)

Put it all in a pot and heat it through.

SO GOOD!!  The recipe says it serves 4, but we’ll get about 6 or 7 servings out of the batch.  I can’t imagine how big the serving would be if we just got 4 servings out of the batch!

Look at this!

It needed a little salt, but perfect otherwise!  Served with a grilled cheese.  Made on the grill pan as well because I didn’t want to get another pan dirty.

Back to studying!  Night!
