Ooh do I have a recipe for you today! It may not look like much but believe me, it is. So I told you about my audition and booking yesterday (yayy). After the audition and my miraculous escape from a parking ticket, I went to the Meet Market for its last day of business. I had heard really good things, especially about the weekend brunch, but I'd never gone. Then I read on Quarrygirl that it was closing yesterday. I was only five minutes away and I heard that their grocery items were 50% off, so I checked them out. I ended up buying one desserty-thing that I plan on giving as a gift to someone and two of these to live in my car and serve as emergency snacks. I was only a couple minutes away from Nature Mart Bulk Bin, and I had planned ahead by bringing my empty Dr. Bronner's hand soap dispenser. I've only been to the Bulk Bin one other time and I noticed that they sell bulk Dr. Bronner's soap so I planned to come back when my dispenser was empty. Nature Mart is ...

Or make it yourself. You can stir-fry it, roast it in the oven with some tomatoes, onions, zucchini, and squash, and you can flavor it Asian or European style.

I made some Raw manicotti in March that had cashew cheese and spinach on the outside, rolled up inside thin, marinated eggplant slices. It was super good. I finally made the eggplant that I bought last week. I cut it into thin slices on my mandoline and then made half of it into a cooked dish and half into a raw dish. Here are the recipes.

Today's food intake was a little weird, mostly because I just wanted to eat brussels sprouts. Breakfast: approx. 1.5 cups brussels sprouts, .25 cups black beans Lunch: 1 cup brussels sprouts, exactly the same salad I had for dinner last night (spinach, black beans, pineapple, red pepper) Dinner: 1 cup brussels sprouts, .25 cups black beans, 1 small sweet potato w/ nutritional yeast So all those brussels sprouts from yesterday's photo are gone. I had a pretty busy day - I woke up at 7 (I went to bed at 10:30 last night) and started my day off with a workout while watching an episode of Jillian Michaels' new show, Losing It with Jillian. I've never watched The Biggest Loser, but I'd heard good things about Losing It. I watched the pilot episode, and it really did seem like she made an impact on that family's life and helped them turn their health around. For my workout I did leg lifts, squats, and that kind of thing, jumping jacks, some yoga moves, and weights...
