Real Food: This is what I eat

Personally, I find it interesting to see what people *really* eat. This is one of those kind of meals. Not fancy or special, just real.

Soy chicken nuggets, vegetarian baked beans, peas. I was starving when I came home, tired, and this hit the spot. Definitely comfort food, but still decent point wise.

Healthier "Cranky Food" Options


So far so good. I've only had one minor slip up in the last few days.

I was super cranky much of the weekend for whatever reason, and I did splurge on ice cream Saturday during the worst of it. It was actually frozen yogurt, but still... Definitely a pattern for me to turn to sweeties and comfort food when I'm in a mood.

However, I balanced that slip up with the fact that last night, I was cranky and super starving, but instead of ordering out as I usually would, I zapped some low sodium minestrone soup in the microwave, added a bit of parmesan and fresh spinach, and really enjoyed my very low point dinner.

I just needed something with zero effort and instant gratification. The soup surprisingly did the trick. I just need to remember that next time!

Then I worked on an art project to help focus my energy in a different way. Hopefully, if it turns out as I hope, it'll soon be featured on my blog Dabble.
