I ate a lot of vegetables today, and my stomach couldn’t have been happier about it.
Breakfast
Green monster: ½ banana, ½ cup blueberries, ½ cup vanilla soy milk, 2 cups water, 1 cup frozen spinach
Lunch
Green peppers + carrots + hummus, 1 nectarine, roasted potatoes with garlic salt
Snack
Nuts and seeds
Dinner
Grilled broccoli and eggplant
With hummus and a sprinkle of nutritional yeast
Dessert
It deserves two pictures.
½ cup oat bran cooked in 1 ½ cups water, ½ cup vanilla soy milk. At the end of the cooking, I threw in half a square of dark chocolate. Then I topped it with the other ½ of the square of chocolate, and 1 tbs. ooey gooey melty peanut butter.
Dessert was hands down the best thing I ate all day. Hands down.
In the 3rd grade world…
My class was playing “the silent game” this afternoon during carpool, and in the midst of dead silence, a little boy urgently raised his hand and said:
Mrs. Unger, I have to pass gas! What should I do?! Does that count as talking?!
I assured him he would still be “in the game” if he just stepped out into the hallway until it passed, but on the way to the door – it slipped out. And it was LOUD. The best part of the situation was that the little boy didn’t even consider the fact that he should have been embarrassed, he just fell onto the floor into a fit of giggles.
Kids are so honest and unashamed! I wish I could be as uninhibited as I was as a kid, but I guess we grow old and grow a conscience!

What, preytell, is carpool?
HAHA. Kids are so funny
OH my… I’m laughing out loud. I can’t imagine how much you must laugh every day.
Your pics of roasted and baked veggies made me crave them… It’s a cool day, so I’m totally going to roast my veggies tonight!
BAHAHAHAH that is the funniest story about that little boy! I love little kids. They are too cute. I can’t wait to meet my kiddos in a week!!!
5th graders may think they’re too cool for school, but I love them nonetheless.

I’m really jealous of all your vegetable consumption. I miss them. Sigh.

That definitly was a lol moment just reading about it! Children are so wonderful and fun. What were you and the class doing?
Yeah for the veggies!
I love kids and their honesty. Too funny!
All your veggies look so good!
If I was there I would have been crying from laughing so hard. That is the funniest, and kind of the most adorable, thing ever. Oh, children and their innocence!
“In the 3rd grade world” makes me smile everyday! I probably would’ve been right there on the floor laughing with him!
ahhhh I love that! Love that kids just live life and dont worry about what others think!
I love your “in 3rd grade world” stories. Cute and funny!
Thank you! I’m always so flattered that people like reading my stories as much as I like experiencing them.
Mmmmm…I have no idea why some people don’t like veggies – they look delicious! Not to mention your dessert which is making my mouth water…
