Andrea: If you want pretty pictures of food

…go somewhere else! Seriously, it’s a wonder I have any regular readers.

I admit that sometimes I try to “style” my food – you know, at least wipe stray crumbs or sauce off the plate. Today was not one of those days. Today was a day where everything was eaten on the fly and for convenience.

Exhibit 1:

Oats in a jar.

Picture taken after I got to work and was finishing up while in the parking lot.

Exhibit 2:

Lunch at my desk.

Pepper crackers & goat cheese

Salad with cukes, carrots, 1/2 avocado, sunflower & pumpkin seeds.

I think I finally started eating lunch at 2 p.m.? I honestly can’t remember.

Exhibit 3:

Grilled cheese – does it get any easier than that?

I got home from work just before 8 p.m. and the last thing I wanted to do was cook for 30 minutes or more. This meal took me five minutes. I made the grilled cheese in the toaster oven, and microwaved the sweet potato. I thought about eating another vegetable just for color, but once I realized that meant turning on the oven, I was like, “fuck that.” But hey, at least the cheese is raw organic sharp cheddar cheese, and for fun I added hot sauce to my Carolina BBQ sauce. Sadly, that’s the most exciting thing I did all day.

To reward myself for a long day of work, I am now having a piece of banana bread…

…with Earth Balance. Oh, yeeaaaaahhhhh.
