Hmmm…where do I start? Do I begin where I just left off or do I begin with something entirely different? Decisions, decisions…. I guess I’ll just wing it and start off with books!
Last Friday, Long and I took off to my fave crepe shop, Crepes a go-go. Parking was very difficult to find, but it was well worth it when I saw that my fave crepe maker was there! I saw him through the window. Well before I get into the food, I first I wanted to show what I found in the Health section of Half Priced Books. It’s JAY! This was not what I was looking for, so I did not buy it (sorry Jay!).
Here’s what I bought: YOU On A Diet by Dr. Oz. He has a cool show out called, “The Dr. Oz Show.” After seeing the first episode by accident, I’ve been hooked. It’s comparable to the show, “The Doctors,” however I find “The Dr. Oz Show” much more straight to the point. He speaks in a language that I’m more used to. On “The Doctors” they tend to speak to the viewers as if they knew nothing scientific or biological AND they tend to focus on superficial things, such as cosmetic surgery. I have nothing wrong with cosmetic surgery, it’s just something that I don’t think is as important as other health concerns. Another reason why I like “The Dr. Oz Show” other than the type of language used is the fact that most of his Rx advice deals with nutrition. Finally a doctor or a medical professional who does not resort to the use of drugs to cure a condition. One particular episode dealing with a cowboy who was addicted to meat intrigued me. Never before have I heard of a doctor, let alone on national television, prescribe a Vegan diet to someone who had an eating disorder. Watch the first episode here Rocco, Vegan Cowboy
I also bought this book, The Trans Fat Solution: Cooking and Shopping to Eliminate the Deadliest Fat from Your Diet. I wish I had this book when I was doing my research paper on Trans Fat last semester. It’s very helpful. 
Before we headed off to Half Priced Books, we ate at Crepes a go-go. I ordered the usual, Nutella and Banana Crepe. SOOO GOOOD!

Vegetarian salad bowl from Chipotle. Did anyone ever notice the huge difference in caloric information for their entree were on their information sheet? For instance, they would give an item somewhere between 180-680 calories. Although I did not like the way they displayed their caloric information, I LOVED this salad bowl. So Delish!
Random eats! (miss this!)
breakfast one morning was a bagel topped with A.B. and banana slices. In the background you’ll notice the “Weekly Food Diary.” This is what I use to plan our meals for the week. Yep still planning meals and still sticking to the Budge! 
Had Yao Hawn one night with brown rice
Had collard greens with white rice, red lentils, roasted sweet potatoes and a salad another night.
Fruit and a “bagel pizza” for lunch on one day. The bagel pizza had: nutritional yeast, tomatoes, tomato sauce, zucchini, Gimme Lean Sausage, and goat cheese.
Just a little view of how my finals week looked like on a daily basis. Papers, books and salads galore!
Bibimbap! I finally made my own version. Will provide recipe later!
Fiber muffins!
Banh Cheo another night! This is my other fave crepe. Here it is without the herbs and toppings.
