We are surviving the move. Well, at least Truffle has been having a blast. She plays in the jungle of boxes and bags and then promptly falls asleep.
She’s the same size as my candle!
Yesterday, my parents met me around noon and we got down to business. By 9pm everything was out of my old apartment and into my new apartment. They are magical movers. I could not have done it without them and I am so thankful! Before getting down and dirty, we stopped for lunch at a little cafe within walking distance of my apartment. I ordered a grilled herb wrap with portobello mushrooms, zucchini, red peppers, spinach and onion. It was a little heavy on the olive oil but delicious and satisfying.
This fueled me for a few hours. I inhaled a Peanut Butter Cookie Larabar around 5pm. NEED.ENERGY!
My brother arrived shortly after and we finished moving the larger items…aka my futon and went to a small Mexican restaurant for dinner. We split chips and 3 dips for an appetizer. For my main course I ordered Mahi-Mahi Tacos and a glass of Chardonnay. They were delicious and I added even more hot sauce post photo!
I had a rough night of sleep. Truffle kept walking in circles around my head, purring and tried to burrow herself into my arms. She also had some fun crawling under my covers to attack my feet. When I finally woke up this morning, I was FREEZING. This feeling was exciting to me because for the first time in a long time I was craving an old, simple favorite: hot, whipped banana oats with crunchy peanut butter.
1/3 cup oats, 1/3 cup vanilla soy milk, 1/3 cup water, 1/2 TBS chia seeds, cinnamon, 1/2 banana, blackberries, honey, heaping TBS crunchy natural peanut butter.
Lunch was a late throw together as the cable man did his thing! And then I HAD INTERNET!!! WOOH! Back to blogging 
Mixed Green and Red Leaf Lettuce, Tomato, Red Pepper, Green Beans, Carrot, Cucumber, Mixed Nuts, Raisins, Goat Cheese, Olive Oil and Balsamic. Dr. Krackers Cherry Semolina. Large Pink Lady Apple.
I was having one of those, “I’m not hungry but dinner is so far away and I have so much to do.” moments and fixed myself a snack. 1/2 cup 2% Greek Yogurt, 1/2 package (1 bar) Nature Valley Peanut Butter Granola Bar, Blueberries.
After my snack I ran errands and went grocery shopping . I got so many goodies to make, however; my kitchen is a disaster. Unfortunately it was not in cooking condition and I did not feel like cleaning any more. Dinner was a $6 meal from my grocery store.
Coconut-Almond Tilapia with Mango-Pineapple Salsa. Roasted Summer Veggies. Roasted Yams.
Dessert was ice cream! YAY I HAVE A FUNCTIONING FREEZER!! Vanilla with raspberry swirls and chocolate chips. It was okay–not my favorite and not the healthiest option (lots of ingredients in this puppy.)
More unpacking and kitty taming tomorrow! We have our work cut out for us. Hopefully somewhere in between I will catch up on blogs! I’ve been missing you!
Can’t Wait to GET COOKIN,
Nora
That picture of Truffle is SO adorable!
I bet you can’t wait until your kitchen gets sorted out so that you can get back to cooking!
oh golly Truffle is such a little munchkin she’s so cuteeee!!!!! moving really is such a pain in the butt, particularly with a pet in tow, glad to see things are working out! also… now i want fish tacos.
I always miss being in the kitchen while moving. It is so hard to have everything in boxes and to have to rely on eating restaurant food breakfast, lunch and dinner. It sounds like you were able to get some good, healthy eats though. I’m glad you are going to have a normal kitchen again (and I’m sure you are even happier!)
i about melted at the cuteness of that first photo of truffle. she is adorable! and i swear – burrowing under blankets and attacking feet is a classic kitten move. i was wondering when she would start
the wrap you got looks fantastic, too!
i am glad you have such great help for your move. i feel like there’s nothing worse than moving – but good company and it’s not so bad
good luck with the rest of sorting everything out – i’m very happy for you that you are back to having a fully functional kitchen, btw
