Goodbye Chem 110
Monday marked my last day of Chemistry class, and also the final exam! What a semester. It flew by. Chemistry was probably one of the hardest classes I’ve taken, including all the undergrad classes I took in college. Math and science just wasn’t my thing (this is why I was a journalism major!) The final went well and I ended up with a B in the course, which is fine by me! Chemistry was one of the pre-requisites for the R.D. Program I have my sights on. I’m taking one class at time, and I have 5 more pre-reqs to go until I can even begin the program. The past…

Three Things Thursday
1. It is almost the weekend. It is Thursday. this means its one day closer to the Friday. 🙂 I have a low-key weekend planned which may include brunch at my favorite bakery with Chris, along with a half marathon on Sunday where I can finally sleep in my own bed the night before. I am excited! 2. The return of fall foods. This morning I finally gave in to my pumpkin pie steel-cut oats craving! I haven’t had steel-cut oats in almost a year so Tuesday night I broke out the rice cooker and made some! Yes, you can cook oats in a rice cooker and they came out great! Perfect for…

There are two forms of Carbohydrates: Simple and Complex. Simple CHOs contain a single unit of sugar and are called monosaccharides and disaccharides. (image source) Complex CHOs are long chains and branches…

The Return of Homework
I hope everyone is having a great week! My week has been pretty hectic. Work is crazy and I’m starting a new class TONIGHT! I’m pretty excited/nervous. I haven’t taken a class in 2.5 years. The return of homework! It will be interesting to work homework into my schedule now!! Back when I was in college, I never had “30 minutes of yoga” or “run 8 miles” on my list of things to do. Now I do! 🙂 Generally, I have pretty good organizational skills, and I’m improving them as time goes by and my life gets busier. Because of my class, I will not be home for dinner, so I…

Good News!
Finally some time to sit down get to blogging! 🙂 I hope everyone’s Monday is going well. I have some good news to share with you guys, but let’s get to today’s eats! This morning for breakfast I had my last savvy scone. Sad face! They were seriously, so good. Julie is an amazing baker! A chocolate strawberry protein smoothie accompanied the scone this morning. Lunch was leftover veggies, beans and rice from El Mariachi. Some sweet red cherries. And a Gnu Bar! Gnu Foods sent me a bunch of different flavors of their bars to try out recently. So far I’ve loved the ones I’ve tried. I will write…
