Last Day at Home

This morning started off with a 4.5 mile run at 7:40. Luckily, the sun was behind clouds the whole time, but darn it was humid! Once I got home I made myself my usual bowl of cereal and I made a broccoli and cheese omelet for my mom. This omelet was the first I made in a long time, so I took a picture of it. It must have tasted good because she ate it all.

Now for the close up

After breakfast I showered and headed over to Target for a few last minute purchases before moving tomorrow. Surprisingly, I actually found a black dress that I desperately need for rush! It's not the cutest thing in the world, but it'll definitely do. $53.34 later I made it home just in time for lunch. I wasn't sure what I was in the mood for, so I made myself the usual salad. Romaine lettuce, tomatoes, roasted red peppers, grilled chicken, hearts of palm, and cumcumber. Instead of using just balsamic vinegar, I made a delicious dressing of whole grain dijon mustard (the really thick stuff), red wine vinegar, balsamic vinegar, and water.

I love how you can see the mustard seeds in the dressing!

It was delish! Too bad I didn't discover it earlier in the summer. Although I am definitely going to be the salad nerd in the sorority house because I'm planning on bringing a bottle of balsamic vinegar for my salads. :) For the rest of the afternoon I pretty much worked on packing, packing, and packing. I hope I haven't forgotten anything. At least my school is only an hour and a half away. Easy to drive home to pick up forgotten items. After packing my dad made us a delicious dinner of healthy eggplant parmesan with spaghetti squash. My brother and his friend actually ate with us tonight too! But they made themselves hamburgers and tator tots. For the eggplant parm, my dad first baked the eggplant with a little cooking spray, herbs, and some parmesan cheese. Then he layered it with diced tomatoes and cheese (without cheese for me). Then he baked them until all the layers were heated through. I almost forgot to take a picture, but luckily I remembered just after everyone had gotten their servings. Here's a picture of my parents' parm.

Here's mine!

I ate way too much. Dinner was comprised of only vegetables, but I'm still so full. Anyways, after dinner we packed up the cars and watched some 30Rock. Tomorrow will be a busy day. Wish me luck!
