Thanks Goodness for Thursday
Posted: September 24, 2009 Filed under: Uncategorized 12 Comments »I have a teacher in-service day tomorrow, so it might as well be a Friday! I love teaching and being with the kiddos, but a day without them at school is pretty much a day off.
In honor of my favorite day of the week, I ate my favorite stand-by meals all day.
Lunch:
- 2/3 cup cottage cheese
- Dollop of hummus
- 1 shredded carrot
- ½ avocado
- 1 Boca Burger
Aside from roasted veggies – this is the best thing on Earth. I stir and stir until it turns into a wonderful mushy mess, then add the avocado on top. Goodness gracious it’s delicious.
Dinner was THE favorite food.
The Roasties in all their glory…broccoli, carrots, eggplant and 1 bell pepper (to be honest, I could have done without the pepper – it didn’t really “go” with the other flavors). I seasoned this batch with cumin, garlic powder, dried onions and dried mustard.
Then, topped it with plain yogurt and hummus.
The yogurt adds such a delicious “tang” to the dish. I literally cannot think of anything that tastes better than this bowl did. Not even cake. (Gasp!)
A day of favorite foods wouldn’t be complete without dessert- inspired by my new favorite cook book given to me by my besties’ mama.
I used only the first 4 ingredients on the first batch, but then did my thing by adding pumpkin, and a handful of ww flour plus some oh so necessary cinnamon and nutmeg on the second batch. Plus, to add some more SWEET – a handful of butter scotch chips. I may even get around to writing a proper recipe for these. If/when that happens – I will post it on the recipe page.
Until then…
I totally made a mental note of these two ideas, they sound delicious especially roasted veggies+yogurt+hummus
That is so true, towards the end of the year I didn’t even count teacher work days in my days countdown! Coming in dressed slightly less formal than usual was thrilling for some reason

i can definitely see why that is your favorite stand by meal. phenomenal! the cookies look super tasty too, you little baker!
Those cookies look divine!
You can never go wrong with a scrumptious oatmeal cookie.
YUM looks great! I love cookies that are thick and chewy like that!!
roasted veggies hands down, are teh best way to cook them ever! esp brocolli, i loooove me some roasted brocolli!
roasted veggies are so good – I think everything tastes better roasted.
mmmmm….I love roasted vegetables and I am glad you posted it because it reminded me that I need to make them soon. I usually do roasted vegetables with tofu right on the pan too which makes for a super easy complete meal. I have never thought of the yogurt and hummus as a topper but will have to try it, I don’t see how that could be anything but delicious.
those cookies look sooooo good! i swear oatmeal in cookies makes them a bajillion times better.
mmmm on the roasted veg too – happy weekend!
Yum; what a great dish! That looks amazing…I love roasted veggies, especially this time of the year…it’s so warming during the fall season.
Have a great night.
Amie
I agree…I think they are the most comforting food.
