Earthy flavor

Another sunny day spent holed up at Rite Aid... not exactly the way I would have chosen to spend my Earth Day, but at least I got to enjoy some of it earlier in the day.
After my chem class, I went to Starbucks where I found a sunny spot and sipped on a grande iced soy latte while reading over some work. A little while later I had my snack- a golden delicious apple and a small baggie of raw mixed nuts.


This was just enough to hold me over through the beginning of work, until I had time to stop for my special veggie wrap and a few celery sticks for dinner. The wrap was flavorful and filling, stuffed with spinach, eggplant, brown rice, broccoli, pepper, and onion in an oil/balsamic vinegar sauce, all wrapped together in a tomato tortilla. Yum!


Of course by the time I got back to my dorm I was dying for a sweet treat- so I had 1/2 of my vegan Alternative Baking Company Snickerdoodle cookie and the rest of the mango I chopped last night.


OMG... this cookie is soooo good! I almost wanted to eat the entire thing it was so delicious! A little crispy on the outside, chewy and soft on the inside. Mmm... def. a new favorite! What a great ending to my nice earth day! To top it all off, my mom brought me a package that arrived in the mail- my "Baker's Sampler" order of Erin Baker's breakfast cookies! Now I have 12 different kinds to try, and with flavors like vegan chocolate chunk and peanut butter and jelly, I have no idea how I'm going to decide which one to try first!
I'm going to try these as a bigger nightly snacks to not only add a healthier twist on my desserts, but add nutrient filled bulk to my calorie intake to hopefully keep adding on a few pounds (I've been in a bit of a rut lately). Seems like a tasty way to do it, I'll let you know how it goes!

Hope everyone had an eco conscious day! It's time for bed for me!
