School started back up last week and boy am I exhausted!  That first week always really gets me.  My classes are a tiny bit easier this semester and I’m taking a little less than I did last time, but my schedule is wacky!  The university is now only offering one section of each class so you either figure out a way to get it in or your screwed.  There was one class I couldn’t fit in, so I had to put it off. 

This semester I’ve got Organic Chem, which I am really enjoying!  I’ve also got Culture and Food, which is really neat.  And I’ve got Quantity Foods (Food Service).  I’m still on the fence on this one.  The lecture is okay, a little boring, but the lab is god awful!  I greatly dislike the lab teacher.  She’s about 100 yrs old and one of the rudest people I’ve ever met.  She’s not very nice.  Bah!  For the lab we have to go places and serve food- schools, hospitals, and here at the university.  We also have to put together and host a catered event.  It is SO much work for only 2 credits! 

Anyway, I haven’t had much of a chance to post lately, we also had some craziness going on around the house.  The bottom of our water heater rusted out in the middle of the night and flooded our kitchen, laundry room, and closet!!  So we’ve had to deal with that as well.  Needless to say it was a stressful couple of days and I had to shower at the gym on the way to school!

Hopefully now that the emergency situation is over I can blog a little more regularly. 🙂

 

I also wanted to share a really really awesome meal!  Vegetarian sloppy joes!  Sounds weird, but super duper yummy!!

Got the recipe from Rachael Ray- love that lady!  Her recipes are getting much healthier lately and they are very easy to modify for any health needs that you may have.

Here’s the recipe– please try it, it’s amazing!  The only thing I would do differently is cut down on the brown sugar- it was really sweet.  I’ll probably cut it down to 1 Tablespoon next time- I think that would be perfect.  I served mine up with a little pickle and mustard and some oven fries!

Here are some pics (sorry for the quality they’re from my phone- my camera is still broken. 🙁 )
