Yellow correlates with happiness

I was displeased to discover that the lecture I dragged myself to school for was actually a tutorial taught by my TA, which was by no means testable. At least I got to smell the rainy air smell - you know, the one that smells like there's worms everywhere [because there really are worms everywhere]!

After getting home I prepared some lunch for myself.

 Avocado-ed tuna salad embroidered by strawberry slices.

After lunch I got ready for my MMA class. The class was totally awesome! I really enjoyed throwing various punches and kicks. It definitely helped me get rid of a lot of frustration and stress!

I made a wonderful meal for dinner. I had a yellow sweet potato baking in the oven. Unfortunately I cooked it for a little too long, causing it to be a little harder than expected. That didn't stop me from eating it, of course.

I decided sautéed tofu atop of a hearty plate of salad sounded delicious and dinner-worthy!

Yellow sweet potato on the side!

Amazing.

After dinner I had some tea and a few mini cups of tofu, diced peaches and crushed almonds sweetened with Splenda and cinnamon.

Don't-cha just love healthy snacks?!

Time to do some reading and then some sleeping. Have a great night!

You can never go wrong with Indian food!

Yesterday my friend called me and asked me if I wanted to grab some take-out buffet food from a nearby Indian restaurant. That's right - take-out buffet Indian food. It sounds almost hard to believe but you're actually able to fill up two take out boxes for the price of $13.00. What a deal!

I filled my box with tandoori chicken, channa masala (chickpea curry), aloo mutter (pea and potato curry), a little bit of butter chicken and lots of salad. I came home and assembled my meal on a large plate for some visual appeal.

The amount of flavour on that plate was unbelievable!

Eating this meal reminded me how much I truly missed my cultural food. I plan to integrate various spices found in Indian cuisine into my own recipes. Spices like turmeric, cumin, cardamom, anise and curry all contain many health benefits and should be included in our daily diets in order to ward off infection.

After work, I had delicious grilled chicken breast stuffed with avocado and goat cheese with a side of colourful salad

Check out that stuffing!

The salad contained spinach, orange peppers, yellow peppers, green onion, celery, tomatoes, avocado and water chestnuts

Delish!

I had quite the flavourful day. I felt so relieved knowing I didn't have to work out at night. I did the Fat Fighter Work Out before feasting on my Indian buffet. Don't you just love a great work out followed by an abundance of amazing food?
