Buenos dias!

How is your week going?  Mine is flying by, just the way it should (ok, I am actually writing this post on Monday, but here’s to hoping 😉 )

I meant to write this post last week, but obviously, that did not happen.  For that reason, I am showing you what I ate Tuesday of last week but Tuesdays around here are basically the same each week.  Wake up, get dressed, brush my teeth, drink too much coffee, pack breakfast and snacks, go to school, do the Lord’s work (haaaaaaaaha), take the bus home, sit at said bus station for about an hour and drink more coffee // read // eat lunch (hiding in Dunkin Donuts… [fun fact: Dunkin Donuts here is called Dunkin Coffee.  My assumption is that Spaniards are more likely to frequent a business with the word ‘coffee’ than the word ‘donut’.  ALso!  They sell beer at Dunkin’.]), go to private English lesson for an hour and a half, eat another snack, walk an hour to Spanish class, sit through Spanish class for 1.5 hours, walk home, devour dinner, shower, pass TF out.

**I don’t usually pack my lunch, but since I don’t get home until 8:30 on Tuesdays, it’s the best option for me.  I usually take breakfast and snacks to school and then eat lunch at home.  Learned that lesson on my first day of school when I rolled up with my packed salad. #rookieteacherproblems

Anywho…

Breakfast1/2 c oatmeal with water // peanut butter // raspberry jam

That combination makes me too happy in the morning.  The jam is so good and I definitely eat way more of it than I should…

I also don’t usually buy coffee at school (I used to every day), but on this particular day, I was way too sleepy to function so I had a little extra coffee with breakfast.

Lunch and Daily Snacks

Arroz con pollo with butternut squash, feta, and hummus** // apple // banana // mixed veggies // yogurt // hard-boiled egg // Trader Joe’s corn nuts // oatmeal, banana, chocolate chip bar

**When I told my mom how I defiled her arroz con pollo, she texted me saying, “Que asco!!!!”

(I usually only take an apple, egg, and yogurt to school and eat them between 10 and 3 pm)

Here is a lunch from last week that I had at home:Egg salad with hummus and paprika // rice cakes // cucumber // squash

Or…Spinach // mixed greens // pepper // mushroom // cucumber // hard-boiled egg // feta // chick peas // bread with butter

DinnerCauliflower // mushrooms // spinach // 2 eggs // feta cheese // parm cheese // tomato sauce

Or, the night before:Sauteed spinach, mushrooms, and squash // chicken with pesto // honey mustard // feta/ parm

Snack / DessertCoffee with almond milk ** // crackers // Trader Joe’s Chili-Spiced Mango // Trader Joe’s Corn Nuts

**The almond milk here is on the verge of disgusting.  It’s basically water with some sugar and almond traces.  Where is the creaminess?!?!

I also usually have chocolate or a cookie for dessert.

[I also eat way more snacks between lunch and bedtime]
