Hey guys! How is your Monday treating you so far? Mine has been quite productive, I think. I just finished up the full-time job and I’m about to head to the part-time gig.
I was a little worried that I would start to dread job #2 after working a full day, but luckily I love it so much that going in feels like a treat. I was actually a little bummed yesterday that I didn’t have to go in.
Know what else I love? Having leftovers to have for lunch.
I brought in another serving of the Baked Risotto Primavera from yesterday. So good and cheesey. Perfect comfort food for a stressful day.
Later on I had my first ever blood orange.
I was so excited to spot these at the grocery store on Saturday. They are delicious little buggers.
For a more filling snack I had some plain nonfat Greek yogurt with peanut butter. So good.
Speaking of good… I thought this was extremly cool – a way for bloggers to do good! I saw this on Ashley’s blog and just had to share it.

LOVE the Hershey’s blog hop! CMN is my sorority’s national charity of choice – I’m in!
I can’t believe there are really fruits called blood oranges! I’ve never heard of them and didn’t believe it at first. I don’t know if I could eat one because of the color juice and the name! I guess I can’t judge it until I try it though
Love this idea! I’m totally doing this tomorrow!
YAY for PB+Yogurt combo!
Have a great week, girl!
Brazilian XOXO´s,
Gabriela
I had no creativity tonight so I just copied your post. figured you wouldn’t mind since it’s for a good cause?
It will run in the morning.
I’d try a blood orange but haven’t come across them in my neck of the woods.
LOVEEEEE blood oranges. I first started eating them/heard about them in Italy when I studied abroad. I DESPISE regular oranges, but ADORE blood oranges. Weirdoooo

mmmm blood oranges! I used to think they were the COOLEST things when I was little!
Love this idea..will be participating this week.
Have you tried honey oranges? They are really good — sweet and small enough to not make a big mess.
I love leftovers for lunch … risotto is excellent the next day too!!
I have never tried yogurt with nut butter before! I am missing out!

Leftovers always make the best lunches… they’re even better when you have 2 or 3 different and add them all together, haha sounds gross but it always ends up tasting good. I agree greek yogurt and peanut butter has to be the. best. snack!! enjoy your day! xoxo
Whoa! That orange looks intense! I’ve gotten one before but it wasn’t that dark!
Ha. You know that you love your job when your dissapointed about not having to go in!!
What is all the rage with pb and yogurt?! I was just on Whit’s blog and she is doing that too lol…maybe I’m a little behind on the latest foodie trends 
So happy that you are enjoying your new job so much! Any chance that it could become a full-time gig in the future?
That risotto sounds so good… Hmm. Inspiring some savoury oat ideas!
Look at you! Yummy looking food and philanthropy all in one post
