Ah, a kitchen.

A college girl's dream: a kitchen.

I'll be learning my way to relatively clean, simple, fast cooking for one. And cheap. Let's not forget cheap.

Mornings: smoothies in my new magic bullet :) I'll have to get creative with those! But, a simple strawberry, spinach, protein powder, and frozen banana smoothie should do for a few days :) I'll be testing out some other recipes--one including mango and cayenne pepper! I'm excited for that one!

Lunch: Salad or sandwich at Cathacart. (Unless perhaps there is something desirable on the hot line.)
and apple sauce--with lots of cinnamon. I don't know why I love applesauce so much, but I do.

Snack: apple, banana, protein bar, or almonds...

Dinners... (I only really need 2 or three! plus maybe a small post-workout snack)
       omelette with peppers, avocado, and a wee bit of cheese :)
       salad with chicken, feta, raspberry vinaigrette dressing and maybe chop up some apple on it.

I bought some oatmeal, pumpkin, and sunflower seeds to have on hand. First of all I love oatmeal. Second of all I love pumpkin seeds in oatmeal. Third of all, sunflower seeds are pretty cool in salad.

Time to build my kitchen repertoire. I bought a few seasonings too :) I already had cinnamon because....I love cinnamon. But I also got Italian seasoning and cayenne pepper! Figure I'll buy one or two every once in a while. Kind of expensive stuff in such a tiny jar, but I suppose it lasts a really long time too :) And a small bottle of olive oil...

$40. I'd like to get that number down once I get the basics stocked. Since I'm not having to eat at home a bunch (still have the normal meal plan) I don't need to buy too much stuff. So if I just work on getting some basics and buy a few seasonings here and there so I can actually do something other than a smoothie ;) But hey, it's good good. I just put some chia seeds in it too ;)
