I think the presentation went well! My voice was a little shaky at the beginning, but I simply let out a laugh, told myself to slow down (yes…literally, out loud 
) and continued on with the presentation just fine.
I felt on cloud nine after all was said and done. There are still a lot of projects and papers to complete before graduation, but it sure felt good to finish this presentation! 
Some other highlights of the day:
Highlight #1: LUNCH!
I packed some leftover Veganomicon Snobby Joes (click for recipe!) with some chopped baby spinach and 1/4 an avocado, along with some kashis for dipping. I liked it even better chilled as a lunch today then while eating it hot in a wrap last night. So yummy!
Highlight #2: Long WALKS!
As most of you know, I’m still recovering from a knee and foot injury (i.e., maximum running = once a week.) The first month of not running felt like absolute torture and I still have my moments ( ) but I’m definitely falling in love with long walks. They’re especially fun when a walking partner is involved, and I love how it’s a low impact workout, which allows me to go a couple of times a day. These past few days have involved a long walk in the morning and shorter walk after supper. LOVE it!
Highlight #3: Quick and Simple Dinners
Sometimes you can’t beet simplicity. Simply steamed asparagus. Simply cooked brown rice. Simply cooked haddock with a bit of Organic Late July Crackers and a pat of butter. Simple. Delicious. Simply Delicious. 
Highlight #4: Vacation Days
No classes tomorrow = catch up day. Who doesn’t love a catch up day now and again?
Highlight #5: Memere’s baking
My Memere baked a strawberry rhubarb pie today and I savored each and every bite. She makes the. best. crust. ever. So light and flaky. It was a tiny peice but hit the sweet spot perfectly.
Highlight #6: Chillaxin
I’m just now relaxing with the “Joy of Cooking” and the Biggest Loser.
Question: What is one of your favorite leftovers to use for the next day? I love using leftovers! One of my favorite leftover items to have is brown rice because it’s so incredibly versatile and pairs perfectly with a variety of mixed beans, salsa, cheese, avocado, and/or different spices. So simple but so good!
HEYYY GIRL!

Sometimes simple dinners are the best
I’m glaad the presentation went well! I also love leftovers. Roasted veggies never let me down
Memere is the best cook EVER! Glad your presentation went well!!!
Snobby joesss snobby snobby joes

Glad your presentation went well! That pie looks & sounds so yummy!
Rhubarb pie is one of my favorites! YUM!
I usually do not have many “leftovers” as I am a buy only the exact amount you need girl (not by choice, only because I don’t have the $$$ to do so), however sometimes I have left over spaghetti sauce & taco meat that I enjoy the next day.
so glad your presentation went well! i think you are right about the brown rice being a great leftover helper it is so versatile
Glad your presentation went well! I am loving your dinner and dessert!
Ooh! Snobby Joes with avocado sounds like a killer combo!
I generally hate leftovers, with one exception–lentil loaf. It makes a fab sandwich the next day!
ahhh i love all of this – especially the simple dinner! i think sometimes we are always on the hunt for the newest, most unique recipe when in fact, sometimes simple is best
and YES for catch-up days…i need one of those!
