Happy hump day! Unless you’re like me, and totally snowed in. At least I don’t think we’re going to get a crazy amount of snow, it’s just going to be snowing all day so I can’t leave the house. Bummer. Good thing I have my emergency work out clothes bag in my car ’cause I happen to be stuck at the boyfriend’s

Have you entered my giveaway yet? There’s still a lot of time!

Yesterday after doing 40 minutes on the bike, I continued on to my Wii Active 30 day challenge, where they told me I won’t be able to finish it in 30 days. Bummer again. I’m continuing it anyways of course but I feel like the workouts are getting shorter and shorter when they should be getting longer and longer!

For breakfast I made some frozen berry – banana steel cut oats, topped with chia seeds and PB & Co dark chocolate dreams  peanut butter.

For lunch I looked in my refrigerator to find tons of veggies getting ready to go bad. I had to save them! It seemed like the perfect chance to use my most recent purchase from TJ Maxx:

I spent an hour in there the other day deciding on whether to buy the walnut oil or the grapeseed  oil. I went with walnut because grapeseed sounds more common but I plan on getting that one next. TJ Maxx has good food stuff sometimes. I love how you never know what you’ll find. They had Justin’s Almond butter (for 7.99 so I passed), agave nectar (picked up), raw honey (the boyfriend picked up), and even truffle risotto (the boyfriend picked that up too).

I’ve never used an oil other than olive so I wasn’t sure to expect. It smelled like burnt popcorn to me but I’m guessing that’s just the roasted walnut smell.

I stir fried mushrooms, broccoli, spinach, chickpeas, and walnuts in the oil and served it all over bulgur. Bulgur is one of my very favorite grains that I can only ever find at Whole Foods in the bulk section. Interesting fact: Arab, Israeli, Egyptian, and Roman civilizations record eating bulgur (dried cooked wheat) as early as 1,000 BC. That’s one old grain!

It has a slightly nutty taste and since I haven’t had it in a while, I couldn’t tell if the walnut oil made the food nutty or if it was just the bulgur.

After I decided to take a stab at organizing my room since it was really a mess. I’ll spare you the photos. I ended up having to put my food cart into my closet for pajama storage and then use the longer shoe rack my Mom got me as my food shelf because it didn’t fit in my closet. At least I got to go through all my food and see what I had. I totally forgot I still have an unopened Sunflower Seed Butter jar. It was an exciting discovery

I ate dinner at Mark’s. His Mom made salmon with a side of delicious veggies including peppers, potatoes, and broccoli.

I have no plan for today. I might play some wii, get on the elliptical for a bit, do some wii active, watch movies, convince everyone here to play The Office Clue board game, bake something sweet, rewatch Lost on the DVR,  or actually be productive and apply to some jobs or plan my itinerary for Vancouver. The possibilities are endless (like in my giveaway!).

Question: Are you snowed in today? Either way, what do you like to do on a snow day?
