Cheesy Greens!

Thats the name for the wonderful new sandwich I made to go with dinner =)
Ok, I know it sounds weird, but I'm tired after a long day, and it seemed creative!

For lunch today I stopped by the dining hall and grabbed a BIG salad, that I overflowed with veggies: spring greens, peppers, mushrooms, tomatoes, cauliflower, cucumbers, a few black olives for some healthy fat, and approx. 1/2-3/4 cup chickpeas/kidney beans. I topped this with some balsamic vingear, and devoured it! I sure do love my veggies =)
I also almost ate an apple, but decided I was craving a banana (LOVE bananas!) so I had a large banana along with this.

This held me over a couple hours, until I grabbed a tall coffee and snacked on an Almond Coconut KIND bar in between nutrition classes.

I love these kind bars, it held me just over 2 1/2 hours, before my stomach started growling a little... but I held out the three, and had dinner at 7 after class!

Dinner was in the dorm again, I heated up 1 cup of my favorite Pacific Organic Creamy Tomato Soup (unfortunately the last bit of my container) and made myself a dorm style "grilled cheese" which I made with 1 mini whole wheat bagel and 1 slice reduced fat provolone... I spruced it up with a bit of dijon mustard for flavor and some baby spinach for extra greens! Delish!
I also had 10 baby carrots on the side. Nice, filling balanced dinner. Got all my dairy in today, plenty of veggies and some whole grains! Nice!

I've got a bit of preparation to do for my chem lab, I might have a snack later, might not... I'll keep ya posted!
