Good morning and Happy Wednesday! Not only is it WIAW, it also happens to be the first day of a new month! And it’s not just any month—for me, this happens to be the Month of Big-Ass Changes. Between a new job and finishing grad school (after 4 years!), I can’t even pretend that May isn’t a big deal.

Big changes or no, a girl’s still got to eat, so once again, I’m linking up to the weekly blog party, hosted by the lovely Jenn of Peas & Crayons. Take a visit to see more WIAW from other bloggers!

Enjoying my last week of fake vacation has had me out and about quite a lot—making and photographing pretty meals hasn’t exactly been a priority. I’ve been more concerned with keeping my energy up to enjoy the fun. Monday was basically a day of messes in bowls. My first meal of the day was uncharacteristically late—well past noon—so let’s just say it started with a luxurious brunch. Ignore the fact that it was eaten computer-side as I checked work emails…Please pardon the horrendous photo quality. Like I said, priorities…

  • “Brunch”: Savory oatmeal with lots of veggies, nutritional yeast, egg whites, avocado, and a lot of hummus.
  • Snack: Plain Greek yogurt with cereal, blackberries, and sunflower seed butter.
  • Dinner: Post-yoga dinner with a lady friend at Jivamutki—I had the “yogi’s choice” with grilled tempeh, steamed veggies, quinoa, and turmeric tahini dressing. The food was okay, but the company was lovely.
  • Snack: (unpictured) sliced banana with PB2

Any enjoyable messes in bowls recently?
