So I just realized that while I ate 3 apples today (that should keep the doctor away), I also ate white rice at all 3 meals. Sometimes I’m craving brown rice, today I wanted the white. That’s just the way things go.
I could think of nothing but rice during my morning workout…so I came home and made some at 6am.
White rice, black beans, salsa, 2 eggs
For lunch, I added some of my breakfast rice/beans to my leftover squash soup.
My morning snack and afternoon snack were both gala apples.
only one of them got to wear the sweater…
When I got home, I could literally only think of one thing I wanted…white rice.
So I made a stir-fry with red cabbage, eggplant, zucchini, and tofu – all of which were just an accompaniment for the sticky white stuff that I couldn’t get off my brain.
In the 3rd grade world…
A fellow teacher brought me a BAG of apples from the tree in her yard.
I had to eat one on the way home from school – it was so crunchy and sour, I loved every bite. (Thanks Mandy!) I can’t wait to use them for fun baking things.
Any good apple recipes?? Send them my way!
That breakfast just looks gorgeous!
Um, can we count eating rice 3x in one day as “intuitive eating?” Because I am so down with that.
I cant wait to see what those apples become!
If I were you, I’d just be so excited about using the apple sweater for all those apples.
This made with oatflour is a gluten-free apple crisp masterpiece

Mmmmm i’d smear peanut butter all over them and be happy!
Apple butter is always fun. Peel core and slice them, pop them into a pot or slow cooker, add honey, brown sugar and spices (nutmeg, lots of clove and cinnamon) and let it cook away!
Apple crumble – with lots of oats, maybe even some granola…
apple pie overnight oats!
You’re right…you can’t really go wrong with sour apples and peanut butter! I’ve never thought to throw them in the crock pot, either – thanks for the great ideas!
How nice to get a bag of apples picked straight from the yard!! Awesome!!
No specific apple recipe and I know oatmeal doesn’t really do it for you, but… I added fresh chopped apples to my oats when they were cooking the other morning, adding in some pumpkin pie spice and topped with almond butter. It was heaven!
Nothing wrong with 2 apples a day – OR 3 bowls of white rice. It’s all about balance, right?
Great post! I heart your apple sweater. So cute! Just wanted to let you know I really enjoy your blog and it has (in part) inspired me to start my own over at mylittlecelebration.com. Keep doing what you’re doing! You’re a talented blogger and writer.

Thanks for your comment! You are so kind, you put a big smile on my face. I can’t wait to go check out your site.
I was going to have that same thing for breakfast today!! But I chickened out and went with the usual granola, toast and smoothie. And if the apples were really sour and crunchy, I’d want to eat them as is! Can’t wait to see what you make though!
I have leftover white rice now and now I know what I’m eating for breakfast. The egg + salsa combo looks delicious!
how thoughtful!
I have actually never been a big fan of rice.
That huge bag of apples looks delicious!
Your breakfast is great…I actually think I may try that for dinner.
No shame in white rice…living here in an Asian country I can see, first hand, that it does no wrong…so enjoy!
O I wish people gave me bags of apples at work! Do the other teachers know about the blog? If they do, do they read it?
And that purple cabbage has such a vibrant color! I want a shirt or scarf that color!
Yes, a ton of the teachers (and some parents) at my school read my blog – which is awesome because I get lots of foodie gifts!
I use gala’s for crockpot apple butter but I think I sent that your way….
Yum. I love white rice! Especially when it’s all sticky x
That’s funny, I was craving rice a few days ago. Maybe it’s the weather? Ha, ha. Apple crisp is definitely one of my favorite desserts!
I love that breakfast idea! Ya gotta eat what you want!
Man, you have the best meal ideas!!!! I love reading this blog

White rice dreams! With salt and melted buttery goodness. Ahhh!!
Apple crisp, apple crisp, apple crisp! It’s perfect with tart apples.
And sometimes white rice just tastes so yummy.

You are so welcome Katie! I am glad you are getting use out of them. This is actually the first year out of three in our house that I picked them. I usually just let them all fall and rot on the ground until I pick them up and throw them away.
Hih, I love the apple sweater
Do you still have tons of apples?
I have a wonderful fall recipe that i created when I was 12!
