Do you ever wake up still ticked off about something from the day before? That was me on Sunday morning. Most of the time I can let things roll off my back, but we all have our days, I guess.
It didn’t help that I had an aggressively runny nose that was probably my body’s way of telling me that alcohol and cold walks home do not mix, even if I stick to my limit and bundle up.Luckily, I didn’t have any other symptoms, but still—comfort food was clearly in order.
For breakfast, I made an old favorite: apple spice oats, topped with peanut butter. 
After doing yoga and probably driving my neighbors crazy with my latest self-indulgent spotify playlist (this one’s almost all Rolling Stones and Neil Young—I can’t stop listening to this song lately for some reason, and I’m not that sorry), I picked up some groceries and whipped up these weird little items. They were supposed to be black bean burgers, but in a few days, you will be seeing a recipe for rice & bean cup-muffins. Or whatever I decide to call them…When in doubt, just throw it in a muffin tin. 
Lunch was an assortment of things I was craving. By the way, if you haven’t tried roasted eggplant slices on toast with hummus, you need to try it—so good! 
I spent most of the afternoon studying for the RD exam, reading this book, and doing random things around the apartment that needed doing. By evening, I was feeling a lot better, mentally and physically. Luckily, I have some good things to look forward to this week with less weekday runaround involved, so cheers to hopefully feeling 100% soon.
What are you comfort foods? What are you looking forward to this week?
Oooh love the sound of the eggplant and hummus. In fact, hummus with anything works for me hehe. I probably really annoy my neighbours by also singing along to my music, and my voice will not win any awards any time soon haha.
Haha I do that too! I can tell I’m turning into my mother when I catch myself harmonizing to, like, the Grateful Dead. Or who are we kidding—my mother will harmonize to basically any song without realize she’s doing. It’s one of our sillier hereditary habits : )
Roasted eggplant IS a go-to comfort food for me. I must try it with hummus!
