days eighteen and nineteen. thursday night i had “ravioli pizza” - layers of ravioli, mozzarella, and marina. michael’s mom added tomatoes and basil on top of ours, but a few pepperonis managed to lurk in my serving. luckily i found them before it was too late. then last night we went to a birthday party and i had a spinach and artichoke dip plus some bean avocado and mango? salsa.
day seventeen. breakfast: swiss and spinach omelet, biscuit, and grape juice with ice. lunch: fried rice with egg, peas, carrot, scallions, and water chestnuts and a salad with carrots, cucumbers, and light ranch. i hate taking pictures when i’m in the cafeteria because i generally sit by myself and read so i imagine i look pretty stupid. but these meals were too good to not document.
day fifteen. spicy lentil soup with corn muffins. mom makes vegetarian meals for the 3 nights i eat dinner at home. this was absolutely incredible. the texture, the flavor, the color. the muffins weren’t bad either, although i’m not sure if i enjoyed the actual corn kernels lurking inside the crunchy exterior.
day ten. lunch with lauren at dolce vita again. i had black bean and corn tacos with an avocado sauce. lauren, in her traitor ways, had a bacon quiche. for dessert i got a $1 chocolate mousse tart.
day seven. gardenburger original veggieburger. it was easy to cook and quite tasty, but i was expecting it to be… less veggie more burger-esque? since it tastes so vegetable-y i’ll leave out the cheese next time.
day three. lunch at dolce vita downtown with lauren. i had a spicy black bean dip with flatbread, and she had a jalapeño hummus.
day one. red lentil and vegetable soup. i could only find confetti lentils as my red lentils were moth-ridden. it could’ve used a smidge more cumin but was very hearty.
