Today's summary

I'll be brief since I have two new cooking magazines on which I need to droll, a serious session of blog reading and a "the biggest loser" episode to watch. Matter of life of death!

Daily food

• Breakfast (totally random)
• Lunch. I munched on some cauliflower before lunch while trying to figure out what to do with them, I thought that maybe with the taste I would have discovered a brilliant and revolutionary recipe, this obviously didn't happen and I ended up cooking them in the oven with chickpeas and black olives, tossed with oil, white and chili pepper.

This was actually the side dish. The main dish was this

Veggie Burger

with mustard and cherry tomato

on whole wheat grilles Bread

plus an Orange

and a Caffèlatte (with soy milk)

• As snack, I had a almost burned grilled (I'm going a little grill-crazy here =) banana with vanilla Kefir (yum yum) and Pomegranate seeds
• Dinner was as easy as fabulous!

grilled spelt Flat bread

with cottage cheese

grilled (ah!) eggplants

mixed Greens

with Pomegranate seeds

oil and honey as dressing

along with a Pear

Daily Workout

I walked on the inclined treadmill for about one hour (3.5 km) while reading some school stuff, then I stretched a little bit. Nothing special, but I was too much concentrated on my reading for really caring about what was going on with my legs!

Just a question to finish:

Do you read cooking magazines?

I read them for the fab food, but mostly for the gorgeous photos. I would soo much being able to produce such beauties!

Tuesdays are boring

Am I the only one or do you also think that Tuesdays are worse than Mondays?

The fresh start feeling of Monday is gone and the weekend is so far away. Definitely the worst day of the week, in my opinion.

So, to just confirm what above said, today was totally meh

The eating

• Breakfast
• Lunch started following a recipe until I realize mid-way through that I didn't have almost half of the ingredients (this is what happens when you choose only looking at pictures and not reading the ingredients!). I ended up having a very nice meal, my cooking skills are finally improving!

Quinoa and Spinach Casserole

made with cooked quinoa,

frozen spinach,

sautes with oil, garlic, chili pepper and pepper

a spoonful of cottage cheese

1 egg white

and more oil for grease the ramekin

Brussels sprouts as side dish

and an Apple

• I had a super-early mid-afternoon snack before heading to the gym of coffee with almond milk and some too much mixed cereals
• Dinner

Dipping your hand in a sack of grains

Minestrone del Contadino

whole wheat Bread

The working-out

I ran 3 miles as planned, but it was much tougher than I thought, I totally blame my new shoes since after my huge snack I had all the necessary energy! Maybe I just need to get used to them.

Now I'm off to watch Gossip Girl.

Have a nice evening. Or day? Or whatever!
