Summer Plans.
So initially, I was trying to work at a girl scout camp for the summer. That may or may not work out, they haven’t contacted me yet. My back up plan is to try to get a job at Nahla’s, a middle eastern restaurant near me, as a cook. Or my dad wants me to paint the barn…hmm. Either way, I’ll be at home a lot more and I told my mom I wanted to do the grocery shopping this summer because that’s just the way I have to do it. So, now I am the family dietician! My mom is on Weight Watchers, so she needs all dinners to be around 10 points. I’m like, pshh. weight watchers is dumb. Just eat all whole foods in normal portions, including snacks. SO. I figured out the point values for a couple of different types of meals, all vegan, all whole foods (minus one with tofu). and bam. pretty much anything I’d make for her would be awesome. My five nutrition packed dinners are as follows.
- Carrot: Thiamin, Niacin, Vitamin B6, Folate and Manganese, Dietary Fiber, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin K and Potassium.
- Cucumber: Vitamin A, Pantothenic Acid, Magnesium, Phosphorus and Manganese, Vitamin C, Vitamin K and Potassium.
- Spinach: Niacin and Zinc, and a very good source of Dietary Fiber, Protein, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin E (Alpha Tocopherol), Vitamin K, Thiamin, Riboflavin, Vitamin B6, Folate, Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium, Copper and Manganese.

I find, in general, this is the breakdown for blame when something bad has happened to me, like getting a $175 ticket for riding one stop outside the fareless square on the MAX because I’m a confused country mouse, or being late to work because a schedule change was not checked up on:
