<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As you can see, I changed the subtitle of my blog from "how to be a healthy vegetarian in college and still have time to study" to "<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 20.15999984741211px;">how to practice sustainable agriculture in college and still have time to study". This year, the word BALANCE has taken on a new meaning. Balancing school and friends, balancing exercising and sleeping, balancing relationships, balancing vegetables and carbohydrates, balancing my academics and extracurriculars. <b>To</b></span><span style="line-height: 20.15999984741211px;"><b> balance is to give equal distribution</b>.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 20.15999984741211px;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 20.15999984741211px;">For example, a place where I experienced balance and change was in my diet. I joined a crossfit class during the spring semester and as a result of continuous exercising early in the day, I was always hungry. I had stopped eating plant protein sources and was eating only vegetables and carbohydrates. During that time, I went to a healthy eating seminar at UVA and the speaker emphasized having a balanced diet. She said that 70% of the time she subscribed to a vegetarian diet, and 30% of the time she ate meat. The key to eating meat she said, "is that you have to be very stringent and cautious about where it's from and how the animals have been treated". At a farm that I was shadowing at, a farmer stated that stressed out chickens create eggs with more cholesterol so couldn't the same principle apply to any animals? Because of the eating seminar, I decided to start incorporating meat into my diet (very slowly) in February and my first meat source was wild sockeye salmon from </span><a href="http://www.traderjoes.com/" style="line-height: 20.15999984741211px;">Trader Joe's</a><span style="line-height: 20.15999984741211px;">. I am not much of a fish fan so buying salmon was a bold move for me and incorporating it as my first animal protein source in lieu of a plant source was even more surprising! I marinated the salmon in lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper, wrapped it up in aluminum foil, and baked it in the oven and voila! Flaky delicious fish. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20.15999984741211px;">In the meantime, I joined the gardening club at UVA and also went to the community garden events. My first flower ever planted at UVA was a calendula. We cut open 20 oz. soda bottles, put 1/2 cup of potting mix inside, and planted our seeds in them. I placed the flower in my apartment windowsill and the flower bloomed beautifully! And recently, I just learned that calendula's can be used for medicinal purposes: if you make a lotion or paste, it can be applied to your skin to reduce pain and swelling. </span></span><br />

recipe is easy to make, but it requires a little bit of cooking knowledge.
First of all, you don’t need an electric mixer in your apartment – just use a
whisk and some man-power! It’s very important to note that your melted butter
has to have cooled to room temperature. If you immediately pour the hot melted
butter into the liquid batter, you will have scrambled eggs! This recipe takes
less than half an hour to prepare and then 20 minutes or so to bake, so reserve
an hour for these delicious muffins! </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>I have officially returned to the blogging realm. Unfortunately, when time became of the essence and my grades took a toll, I gradually seeded out writing in this blog. I never subscribed to a meal plan however! As an engineer, many of my lunches were not spent socializing in the dining hall or at a local cafe, but rather in the library! The cool thing about college libraries is that you can eat in them! So, my go-to lunch was prepared the night before. It was a life changing discovery... the Mason Jar salad a.k.a the Tupperware salad a.k.a the Any Container with a Lid salad. </b></span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>First, I started with a homemade balsamic dressing that I used up in 2 weeks. I also stored that in a Mason jar. I found the recipe on Pinterest and the basic ingredients were: balsamic vinegar, dijon mustard, brown sugar, lemon juice, onion, and salt. The key is to place your salad dressing on the bottom and to put your least "vulnerable to sogginess" vegetables on the bottom layer. The final layer in your salad will be the lettuce. Just give the jar a little shake and it's ready to be eaten!</b></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Another staple meal that I prepared ahead of time was overnight oatmeal. I first learned about overnight oatmeal from a healthy eating seminar at UVA OpenGrounds. <a href="http://opengrounds.virginia.edu/">OpenGrounds</a> is a concert, poetry, seminar venue on the Corner and it's a great opportunity to plug into local movements! While at the food seminar, I met Kath, of the blog <a href="http://www.katheats.com/">Kath Eats Real Food</a> and the owner of the Great Harvest Bread Company in Charlottesville. I was in a gym glass first thing in the mornings so I was getting very hungry by the time lunch rolled around. Therefore, the night before my workout, I made overnight oatmeal in a Mason Jar and included: Greek yogurt, peanut butter, flax seeds, fresh fruit, and oatmeal. My hunger was definitely satisfied. Below is an awesome pic of the many combinations you can have with overnight oatmeal taken from the blog <a href="http://miluskitchen.blogspot.ca/2013/10/lifehack-overnight-oatmeal.html">Milu's Kitchen</a></b></span></div>

<span style="color: #b45f06;"><span style="font-family: "Bodoni MT Black","serif"; font-size: 13.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I find that ethnic foods are really easy to enjoy as
a vegetarian because rather than emphasizing portion sizes, salt, or fat
content, they really take advantage of complimentary flavors. An obvious great
combination is the sweet potato and cinnamon. Another delicious flavor
combination is the curry powder and coconut milk. This recipe sounds
complicated but it’s another sneaky, easy crock pot recipe. Definitely try this
one!</span></span></div>

Cooker:</a> No complaints about being too expensive because a slow cooker
starts at $17 online at Walmart.com! A slow cooker is inexpensive, efficient,
and requires little/no effort in cooking! They are designed to be left alone
which is perfect for a college student because we typically leave for class in
the morning and return about 6 hours later.. starving! Not only will you have
food in your house, you’ll have a lot of it. So, freeze the extra soup or
casserole you made and safe it for a later time! <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Kettle</a>: The electric kettle is also just as amazing and is $23 at Walmart.
Like a slow cooker, an electric kettle does not need a watchful eye in order to
boil water. Forget worrying about burning your house down when you no longer
need to use your stove to heat water. This appliance is super handy because you
use boiling water for almost everything: making tea, preparing pasta,
dissolving broth, adding to oatmeal. Super handy! <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

This might be too obvious for me to state, but I think that college kids forget
the range of activities that a microwave can assist you with! The least
expensive microwave at Walmart is only $15.75. What a steal! If you have a
microwave, you don’t need an oven to cook. Don’t believe me? Here’s my proof of
what I’ve made in the microwave: steamed vegetables, chocolate cake, popcorn,
boiling water, cheese bread, toast. Plus, you can always nuke a frozen dinner
if you are in a time crunch. <a href="http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/petas-vegan-college-cookbook-peta/1015351863?ean=9781402218859">Peta's
Vegan College Cookbook</a> has loads of recipes whose highest degree of cooking
includes using a microwave. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

a week, my electric kettle 14 days a week, and the microwave 7 days a week. And
remember that I have roommates who also use these appliances, so regardless of
the investment you make, know that you’ll get a lot of use out of these. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Bell MT","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="color: #cc0000;">This stew tasted and smelled complicated but honestly, it is
super easy to make. Just give yourself 20 minutes to prepare the food and then
go to class! Come back 6 hours later and you have a gourmet meal. Plus, your
house will smell like a top-notch ethnic restaurant. The only thing that
requires effort and time is going out and buying the spices. But, because I use
curry, cumin, and coriander in almost every recipe, the investment is worth it.

<br /><br /><br />I spent about 2 weeks on vacation, and while vacationing, I indulged in unhealthy vegan foods. So, when I got back to my house, all that I was craving was spinach and carrots. No joke! But because I bored after 3 spinach meals, I looked up other detoxing combinations. According to <a href="http://detoxinista.com/2013/01/immunity-boosting-carrot-ginger-juice/">Detoxinista</a>, carrots and ginger have a detoxifying quality because carrots are loaded with Vitamin C and ginger is primarily known for being a digestive aid. So, the Carrot Ginger Soup with Walnuts is not only delicious, it’s healthy and good to sooth an aching stomach. <br /><br /><br />Ingredients:<br /><ul>
<li>1 pound carrots, sliced</li>
<li>1 small onion, chopped</li>
<li>1 garlic clove, minced</li>
<li>½ teaspoon dried ginger</li>
<li>1 teaspoon cinnamon</li>
<li>2 teaspoons olive oil</li>
<li>1 ½ cups water</li>
<li>½ cup of unsweetened almond milk</li>
<li>1 teaspoon salt</li>
<li>2 tablespoons walnuts, chopped</li>
</ul>
Directions:<br /><br /><br />1) Sauté the carrots, onion, garlic, and ginger in the oil for about 8 minutes in a soup pot.<br /><br /><br />2) Add the water and salt. Bring to a boil. Simmer and cook for another 15 minutes. Let cool.<br /><br /><br />3) Puree the mixture in a blender and then place back into the pot. Add the almond milk. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhW0YNYMCr8OBw3FOUvskVtR3YDv4Jp4Z3EpPcjiJseocpFgVC-TudmexkV9x7P-JAVuxBAvqF4t-ojR4ZqBLFOsv3MFPfXqX1TwWwCp2X1qMbpuRC-Gv_1engIY1jM__TA0oBdk_KxtTZR/s1600/Ribbet+collage.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhW0YNYMCr8OBw3FOUvskVtR3YDv4Jp4Z3EpPcjiJseocpFgVC-TudmexkV9x7P-JAVuxBAvqF4t-ojR4ZqBLFOsv3MFPfXqX1TwWwCp2X1qMbpuRC-Gv_1engIY1jM__TA0oBdk_KxtTZR/s320/Ribbet+collage.jpg" /></a><br /><br />4) Garnish with the walnuts. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Larahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04215635375524388996noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1122556047706152284.post-36645823429486901232013-08-12T08:34:00.000-07:002013-08-12T10:44:16.469-07:00Ice Cream Box Cake (Vegan)<div align="center" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: 'Bell MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: #783f04;">I know that my blog is committed to
keeping college students healthy and within their budget, but this recipe seems
to be neither of those… Granted, this is a full fat recipe, so eat sparingly. Also,
it requires 2 cans of coconut milk, so you may need to make a stop at a specialty
grocery store. Nevertheless, if you bring this to a party, I can guarantee you
that it is going to get eaten first. Thanks to Lauren, my roommate, for providing me with the inspiration to make this recipe! <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #bf9000; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />I made this salad with some friends while we were in Atlanta. Georgia is known for its delicious peaches and ripe tomatoes. So, this is the perfect summer dish, whether you are down South or not. It’s delicious and quick to make! <br /><br />Ingredients:</span><ul>
<li><span style="color: #bf9000; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">· 1 large peach, chopped</span></li>

<span style="color: #660000;"><br /><br />In my opinion, there’s nothing to cure a case of homesickness like your favorite comfort food made by your mom. My favorite comfort food is meatloaf. Before you turn away in disgust because meatloaf might have a bad rep in your eyes, hear me out! My mom’s meatloaf is made with Stovetop stuffing and meat… that’s it! So, because now I can’t eat her meatloaf, I found a recipe that comes very close to satisfying that craving. This recipe has a great combination of spices (like store-bought stuffing), has protein, and has the moist, fluffiness from the oatmeal. This is my favorite recipe that I have ever made!<br /><br />Inspiration: <a href="http://www.barnesandnoble.com/">FrozenAssets</a><br /><br /><br /><b>Ingredients</b>:</span><ul>
<li><span style="color: #660000;">1 pound tofu, mashed</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #660000;">½ cup oatmeal</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #660000;">½ cup Wheat germ</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #660000;">2 tablespoons onion powder</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #660000;">1 tablespoon parsley, chopped</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #660000;">1 teaspoon salt</span></li>

<span style="font-family: "Goudy Old Style","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="color: #990000;">This recipe is so easy that you might assume it will
be missing some essential flavors. But, it’s not! This recipe serves 6, so you
can make it on Sunday night, along with some instant brown rice, and have it
for dinner the whole week. That’s a huge time saver! Like many other ethnic
recipes, the only complicated matter is that the Coconut Curry requires curry
powder and coconut milk, so you might need to do a little digging to find them!
Nevertheless, the local Indian restaurant down the street might have some
competition…<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

you’ll be sitting in your apartment, complaining to yourself about starving and not having anything to eat in the house... but being too broke to go out to eat. So, you walk to the fridge hoping that magically, a new food has appeared since the last 5 minutes when you checked. Sadly, you see nothing but a loaf of bread, and sigh. However, there is hope! You can make a sandwich using any and everything you already have! Hopefully, this list will keep you from feeling that way the next time you’re
hungry. It has surely helped me! <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

are very easy to make! The most time consuming part is dipping each candy into
the melted chocolate. A quicker alternative can be to make all of the
peppermint circles and then to drizzle melted chocolate on top, rather than
dipping. Either way, chocolate and peppermint taste great together! My recipe
is adapted from <a href="http://www.instructables.com/id/Peppermint-Patties-and-Junior-Mints/">this

<span style="color: blue;"><b><span style="font-family: 'Snap ITC'; font-size: 14pt;">Exercising is not only good for the body and muscles,
it's also good for the brain because it pumps oxygen throughout your body and improves your mood.
Plus, it's a stress reliever. So, after a tough workout, be sure to replenish
the crucial vitamins and minerals. The smoothie below contains calcium from the
spinach and orange juice and protein from the wheat germ and flax seed. Also,
there are various vitamins in the fruit, like Vitamin C. Lastly, instead of
using and milk to thin out the smoothie, I used water, to make up for water
loss during the workout. Here is the recipe, I hope you enjoy!</span></b><span style="font-family: 'Snap ITC'; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
