In my earlier pancake post, I mentioned that I celebrate life by nourishing my body with healthy, wholesome, delicious food every single day.
Point proven.
organic brown rice pasta tossed w. organic olive oil, steamed organic zucchini, sundried tomatoes, creamy chevre, lemon zest and fresh black pepper served atop organic baby spinach
Parmesan and pine nuts would be excellent additions if you aren’t an unemployed college student.
…and of course there was chocolate to cleanse the palate.
Eating healthy is not a chore, but a habit. I spent much of my weekend perusing the new bulk aisles at the local co-op and utilizing every square inch of my small kitchen to make a double batch of hummus, tofu & veggie stir-fry, GF vegan no-bake granola bars (recipe on the way!), peanut butter banana pancakes, and light lemony pasta.
I would say I deserve an A for effort in taking care of my body and fueling it with nutritious eats. If only I spent the same amount of time nuzzled in my textbooks that I do grocery shopping and elbow deep in oatmeal dishes.
Time to prepare for Monday #13…
Take care,
Hill
Have you tried brown rice pasta, or any other GF pasta? I want to try quinoa pasta next!
Oh my goodness, this pasta looks amazing!!! It’s making me so hungry! I’ve never tried brown rice pasta, but it looks good.
I’ve had quinoa pasta…it’s pretty good! I thought it tasted a lot like regular pasta. I’ve never had brown rice pasta…but that sounds pretty tasty!
It sure can be a challenge for a college student to stay healthy. You seem to be on top of things, which is amazing!!
I’m a college student myself and I have quite a journey left ahead of me.
Do you have any tips for college students staying healthy?
Oh, and what do you do for an all-nighter (staying up all night); what’s your source of caffeine?
P.S. love your blog!! :)

I want to try quinoa pasta too! I’ve only heard good things about it. Those eats look and sound delicious!
that pasta dish looks awesome! I had sundried tomatoes for the first time in a long time the other day and definitely want to start incorporating them back into dishes!
That pasta dish looks so good! I love brown rice pasta, I just started buying it and am obsessed!
Zucchini + sundried tomatoes + chevre = match made in Mediterranean heaven :)
I looove sun dried tomatoes in pasta. Looks delicious!
As an employed yet still poor graduate, I have to say that this pasta recipe is perfection. I may very well have to make this in my first week at my apartment. Thanks for inspiration :)
I am completely gluten free now and I have tried many different products. I just got 16 new things for my bday, so if you wanna know more about it, let me know :)
I can’t wait to chat about GF food with you… and, when you DO visit, we can have a GF feast :)
yes please :)
that pasta looks amazing. now I’m going to go dig around in my kitchen and try to recreate it for lunch. plus, that’s my very favorite kind of chocolate :)
The hazelnut toffee flavor was a new one to me, and I’m not a huge fan, but I can assure you it’ll be gone before bedtime ;)
