raise your hand if you have a snow day today? ::raises hand::
wooooo hoooooo!!!
wanna know the best part about my snow day? is that it’s secretly kind of like a giant @$$ vacation! besides the fact that i have class tomorrow afternoon. the campus i’m interning at is closed for the holidays friday and monday!
thank you mr. presidents. go head be jealous it’s okay..
yesterday i had a lot on my agenda and i started the day in style with a sugared out strawberry light n fit and a stellar gym session
i won’t lie and say that eating that early is a pain in the rear but it makes the difference in my workouts and energy. thanks gina ;)
usually i do just cardio on tuesdays but i’m going to switch my “just cardio days” to mondays and wednesdays because those are two of the three days i have to commute to work.
…not that you care or anything haha that was mainly just a blab out loud to myself..,
30 minutes stairmill death climb
- chest press machine 4 sets 12 (35lbs) with feet in air to engage core
- upward row into shoulder press 4 sets 12 (20lb barbell)

10 easy peezy elliptical minutes
then enter the start of cottage cheese fest 2010.
deej said: “are you having ice cream for breakfast?”
no ma.
it was: 1 cup canned pumpkin+1/2c cottage cheese+1/2 scoop biochem vanilla whey+usual spice suspects. all food processed up. then i made a peanut butter syrup with 1tbsp better n peanut butt and drizzled that on top.
delectable. it was like ice cream shhh!
after dessert breakfast i got my act together and pounded out some reading slash washed my hair and got ready for school. don’t you just hate your hair washing days..
by the time i had cleansed and de frankensteined myself it was time to pound down lunch before hopping on a train into the city for class.
..and because cottage cheese wasn’t enough for breakfast it made an appearance at lunch too..
a little speecy spicay version
1/2c cottage cheese, 1/2c chickpeas, lightlife pepperoni slices, kernel seasonings cajun & jalapeno sprinkles & a little bit of santa barbs peach mango salsa mixed in
it’s a good thing i’ll be spending valentines day alone this year. my breathe was hotter then liquid lava
did you think there wouldn’t be veggies..
no meal is complete without a plethora of veggiez to use as scoopers, scrapers, dippers and doppers. stacking is an essential part of my life in case you didn’t know..
stackers: see here. and no it’s not a drug.
i grabbed an apple and some almonds for the road and of course packed my power rangers lunch box with my dinner.
do people actually read this or just skim?
school was good! i’m in this awesome role of media in health care policy class and it’s totally interactive so we pretty much jualmost st talk about health care the entire class. i got in a huge discussion during the break with my professor (who is a famous health care baller) about obesity in america and food. she’s a foodie too ;) i gave her the julie golean url ;)
my next class was a snoozefest and once again i was the only one eating my dinner in class. are people insane?!
cottage cheese times three? no problemo. cottage cheese running down my face during class? no problemo.
rolllllllll out with 1/4c cottage cheese, 2 slices lightlife oven roasted faux turks, laughing cow, dijon mustard, spinach, tomato & shroomies.
i tried my hardest to creep on you guys via blackberry but all you blogger bloggers don’t let me comment because of the secret word! change it or else. haha i keed. reasons why wordpress kicks bloggers butt.
i’ve been blabbing too much. people are gonna stop reading
i’m gonna stop typing. and go do some reading. blog reading? yerrrr

I have a snow day woo hoooooo!!!!!!!!! Time to look for jobs :( wah i don't want to grow up
Yay I'm so happy I found your blog! I love reading the blogs of fellow New Yorkers:) I live on the Upper West Side and attend Columbia. What about you?
Last time I tried cottage cheese I hated it but your blog is making me consider trying it again. My step-dad loves it with Catalina dressing!!?
I LOVE Cottage Cheese myself. I eat the FF kind, but, I LOVE it with my instant pack of blueberry oatmeal. I cook the oatmeal in the micro as directed and then I add the cottage cheese to it. YUMMY YUMMY for my TUMMY!!! Try it, it's heaven in a bowl! Love your blog, and yes people are reading it. I am!
I wish I had a snow day! Stupid work...
SO JEALOUS ABOUT YOUR SNOW DAY! NYU sucks balls and hasn't given us off. Lame. My favorite way to eat cottage cheese is plain! Boring, I know. I don't eat it that much, though. Enjoy your day off!
Seriously I would kill for a snow day!!! Well minus the snow...
I would eat cottage cheese for breakfast lunch and dinner if it weren't so expensive for the low sodium kind!
ps I actually read and totally caught your Power Ranger lunch box comment. It better at least be the Pink Ranger.
hahahha I think its time for you to write a cottage cheese cook book :) And I hope you actually do have a power rangers lunch box! That would be awesome. Enjoy the snow day
I like cottage cheese with some sun dried tomatoes and a lil gah-lic. so yum!
And I dont skim... i might miss the next funny thing you say!
Im off friday and monday too! yippeeee... but no snow day for me. im at work. whatevs. getting paid to read your fabulously funny words.

Love that breakfast, I'm going to have to try that asap, especially since I'm going thru a breakfast "ice cream". A few of my favorite savory ways to eat cottage cheese is with sweet potato, hummus &/or kabocha squash
Hahhaa I totally don't skim your posts.. they're too entertaining! And for real, I have a spoonful of cottage cheese in my mouth right NOW (tmi?) I mixed mine with ranch seasoning and plopped it on a wrap with a boca burgs, LC, and hummus.. so amazing!

i have told you before that i coudl really live off of cottage cheese! I love it mroe sweet than savory!! mixing it with frozen berries and throwing on some kays cinnamon stix or protein bites OR kashi go lean in there. Antyhing to give it that crunch. I also love mixing it with some protein powder (BSN lean dessert in cinnamon roll flavor is DA BOMB!) i need to try it move savory though!
as for the kombucha you asked if I drink the floties, to be honest I dont even really notice them!! I just drink and thats that! sometimes in the bottle there is one big floatie but it just goes to the bottom and I don't drink it
I do love this tea though!!!
enjoy your day off JEALOUSSS

Girl you know I love my cottage cheese! And thank you for "throwing things in a bowl and eating it" - I now feel much less self conscious about my rando meals!
Back to the subject of my second fave dairy prod...I am diggin' the sweet cottage cheese combos lately. There is this cereal called Kashi U that pairs PERFECTLY with it!
I actually HATE cottage cheese. I have tried to eat it numerous ways to hide the texture, taste, everything. Still can't stomach it. But I do love Greek Yogurt!
Raises Hand for a Snow Day! It just started snowing here. I have all next week off so this is a pre-vacation for me :)
I love my cottage cheese mixed with jam. Love.
Does my blog have a secret word? I hope not! ;)
Cottage cheese and applesauce mixed with cinnamon. Really, it's good.
haha I be readin' sista.
I love cottage cheese with almond butter, or mixed with an apple, or on a salad :)
"do people really read this or just skim" buahahahha... I think that all the time. Normally I just skim but I always read through your posts 'cause your wit makes me smile lots :)
We are kindred spirits, my friend. I am making a short trip home this weekend, and my mom called just to tell me that she stocked up on cottage cheese for me:)
Love the sound of that cottage cheese breakfast--SO trying that soon.
My fave way to eat it is probably with PB & J or on top of a sweet potato with Sunbutter & cinnamon.
Oooh, I am lovin the spicy cottage cheese/garbanzo mix! I will never understand how people can just skip meals because of class or meetings. When 5pm rolls around, I need to EAT.
Fave way to eat cottage cheese at the moment is blended up with almond butter and maple syrup as a waffle topper. But all-time fave way is probably mixed up with chopped grapes :)
WOOHOO for a snow day! If I were you I'd try out this new food called cottage cheese today. Supposedly it's delish but I don't know.
Power rangers lunch box - I'm a reader and I used to pretend to be the pink one :)
I've been craving the CC lately, but have been sticking to yogurt. I think cuz you get a bigger portion per "serving size" but I think I may need to pick up some of the cottage. I love it mixed with cinnamon & sweetener. Yum!!
How bout cottage cheese in a smoothie... or maybe you already did that... I can't remember your cc shenanigans anymore :)
I'm gonna try it tonight on pizza with black beans and tomato sauce... hopefully it's good!!
I used to hate cc and now it's the bomb!! It's the perfect night time snack to preserve your muscle mass too!
totally made a CC mess fo lunch today and thought about you!! SOOO GOOD! ive been lovin it w. jam lately too..yumm!
I had a salad with cc for lunch yesterday and something in it gave me food poisoning so now I'm afraid to ever eat it again :(
I love cc though, especially with dried fruit and/or dark chocolate!
30 minutes on the stairs?! You're a machine! I did 40 minutes ONCE and I thought I was going to die.
Cottage cheese on pancakes with agave! And, in college, my friends and I used to make this really weird mix with tons of spinach, tomatoes, and cottage cheese and nuke it in the microwave. Pretty good!
Wordpress>Blogger. Heckkk yes! Love all the cottage cheese! I have not had it in FOREVER!
<3 jess
xoxo
you are so lucky you got a snow day! jealous!!!!
i would definitely eat in class, too. that's the good thing about being in a class with future dietitians...no one bats an eye when you eat snacks during class. :-)
Hey girl thanks for all your comment love today....
Now if only i could get my freakin commenting system under control. New system was working great then bam, reverted to blogger's crap again. I hate technology!
As if you care but just wanted to thank you for showing the love.
Cottage cheese. Used to love it but realize dairy and me are no'no's. Can't help u on this one :)
I love cottage cheese!! Reading this post litterally has opened a new world up for me. I've only ever eaten it plain, with some fruit mixed in, or with some veggie dippers. I'm definitely gonna try mixing garbanzos and spices in it now though, and I'll keep reading to see what else you come up with!
