Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
and Happy Birthday to my cousin, Ahnamarie!
I kicked off the day with a green smoothie in honor of St. Patty.
Almond milk, frozen banana, vanilla protein powder, 2 handfuls lamb’s lettuce and about 10 mint leaves.
This was no Shamrock Shake, but it was a heck of a lot healthier and still creamy and minty.
This Saturday is Open Day at my school. The community is invited to visit the school and partake in educational activities, games and projects. Although I love showing my classroom off, getting the place in tip-top shape has been keeping me and my awesome assistant busy.
My midmorning snack tasted like a creamsicle.
Vanilla soy yogurt and a clementine.
Fellow bloggers are simply awesome, I’m so thankful for everyone out there who freely shares their knowledge and recipes. I have learned so much from other bloggers and can not thank you enough!
That being said, here’s another delicious recipe from my recipe wish list. I enjoyed this dish for dinner last night and lunch today.
The inspiration for this recipe came from Vaishali over at Holy Cow! Vegan. I adapted the spices to fit my pantry and taste, and WOW this was so fast and so delicious!

Thanks to this awesome recipe, I was fueled through all afternoon. After school, I tutored, went to the gym and bought groceries before coming home.
