Well howdy-doody all you party people!
Today’s post is brought to you by Jenn at Peas and Crayons who hosts What I Ate Wednesday, well, every Wednesday!
Since I’m tired and just got back from four hours at the library, this post is going to be a bit picture-saturated.
Breakfast:
Hellooo deliciousness. If you haven’t noticed yet, I’m still obsessing over my brown sugar banana oats. Did I mention that the bananas get all caramelized by their own natural sugars when you cook the slices into the oats? And guys. Pools of brown sugar. Swoon.
Also, black coffee thanks to my new Keurig!
I had an organic chemistry lecture that started at 8 am, so I scarfed down my breakfast and hurried out the door. By the time the class was over, I was ready for a snack. Snackage included your stereotypical granola bar:
I had various classes till 12:30, then headed back to enjoy some leftovers from last night’s chicken and sweet potato bake.
After lunch I re-read some notes for one of my bio classes before taking a 30 minute cat nap to replenish my brain juices. After waking up, I dawdled and replied to some blog-related emails and worked on a freelance project before heading out to the gym to get in a quick cardio session so I wouldn’t be antsy from sitting all day.
My workout consisted of 35 minutes split between the treadmill and elliptical, all done while watching Bridezilla on Netflix. Quality tv, of course!
Once I got back to my apartment and cleaned up a bit, I started on dinner! Kyle and I feasted on Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo via Gimme Some Oven. It was delicious and I highly recommend the recipe to someone who’s looking for all that great alfredo taste minus all the butter and heavy cream!
Around 7, Kyle and I drove over to the campus library after making a pitstop at Starbucks for two nonfat caramel machiattos complete with 3 shots of espresso to help keep us goin’.
A small post-study snack included a few bites of my White Chocolate Cranberry Protein Bars.
And now I’m just about ready to fall asleep on my laptop. Hope you had a good day of eats as well!

I don’t know how you can still make your food photos look this damn good when running on barely any sleep. Mine would look like that of a 5 year photography skill! Ha Ha!

Heh – you like him a latte. As a former barista, coffee humor never gets old for me. Lolz. Those protein bars look delicious, btw. Definitely adding them to my list of things to make!!

I love those brown sugar banana oats! I’m currently browning up some bananas so that they carmelize even MORE. 😉 I love you and Kyle! Such lil cuties. PS- love that French studying!
Jess @ PB & Jess says
Coffee pit stops before doing homework with your glasses-clad bf AND making cheesy puns? We’re the same person.
Ashley says
I looooove cooking bananas in my oats! Great way to naturally sweeten them. Though the brown sugar definitely adds somethin’ special!

Haha, I’m impressed that you guys are able to drink that much coffee that late! I’m a caffeine wimp!
Kelly @ Kelly Runs For Food says
Your days sound like mine lately. Give me all the coffee so I can keep going!! Hope things slow down soon
Kirsten @ Fit + Fab says
I’d gladly give up my protein waffles for a morning to have those brown sugar banana oats in front of me! (and if you know me and my protein waffles… we’re barely ever separated!)
Natalie @ lovenataliemarie says
I love the flavor of the banana when I cook it in with my oats. Girl, I tried adding in brown sugar. The verdict? Freakin’ AMAZING! Genius. 😀
I love chicken alfredo!
Leigha @ Minougirl says
Brown sugar banana oats are the BEST! I recently tried putting some coconut palm sugar in too – mmmmm.Awesome day of feats, as usual!
