Return Of The King Marathon!

And then there's The End Of All Things... 
The third movie has very little eating and much more fighting.
We started off with Gollum eating another raw fish, so I brought the tofu with seaweed back out.
Lembas, the Third! This was the peanut butter based one and it was fabulous!
When the riders from Helm's Deep reach Isengard, the hobbits are sitting there eating, drinking, and smoking all of Saruman's wares... So we had hummus, carrots, and celery!
We drank some @adagioteas fandom blend Pride and Prejudice tea to honor the fallen at Helm's Deep... It was delicious!
Then we come to the truly memorable meal that I've dubbed Denethor's Dinner Of Doom: grapes, tomatoes, wine (we drank cranberry juice), and chicken (@noevilfoods )... This has got to be one of the most heart wrenching moments in the movie (very different from the books BTW) and I love it! Eat those tomatoes with grim determination!
A lot more death and destruction happens, gollum throws away their last lembas (I ate some to honor the loss) and then we don't eat anything at all until we're back in the Shire and Sam and Rosie get married! A true returning to the beginning of this tale.
That's the end, folks! Thank you for following along with me! And a huge thank you to Nate Crowley who came up with this mad idea! 

Things I would change next time: 
*smaller portion sizes! I've been eating leftovers all we'll and I've still got stew and four pieces of peanut butter lembas left. 
*plan more breaks! We planned three each movie, but took about 12... It took us double the time the films run to actually finish them. Which leads me to...
*Spread those movies out! We did it in 2 days instead of 1, but next time I would do one movie per day, just to make the cooking easier.

Overall, this was the most fun I've had in months! 100% will do this again!

Shop My Pantry: Week Three

... and the last bit from week two! So my dad bought me veggie rolls at the store Saturday morning and I had to eat them before the avocado went brown... So another $5.99 added to last week. Food from Saturday night and Sunday  On Sunday my awesome friends Elizabeth and George took me to get Starbucks and treated me. It was really sweet that they did that, and I had so much fun hanging out with them in between church and choir practice. I did eat the last of the cheese noodles I had made last week and I froze the rest of the curry because I was getting sick of it. Monday's food Monday was a very long day with lots of running around from appointment to appointment to class to rehearsals. I ate some trail mix as snacks between things and some really yummy meals to keep me going. I added kale to my tomato sauce and some elbow macaroni... Such A great idea! Also, the breaded mushrooms from Dollar Tree? fantastic!!! Tuesday's food Tuesday was another day full of

Shop My Pantry: Day Two

Day two dawned cold and with a need for warmth! Breakfast was an Amy's Kitchen tofu scramble pocket with salsa. Lunch was pretty big today: two veggies patty sandwiches and sea salt kelttle chips.  Dinner was this epic tofu and veggies curry rice bowl... It was really easy to make... I just threw all the ingredients in the pot and cooked for 20 minutes. Super simple and yummy. And I have leftovers for later! Not pictured today: some vegan jerky and yogurt I had for snacks! Overall, this challenge is going pretty well. I think the first thing I'm going to run out of is tofu, but I can live with that. I'm counting this as a successful day!

Shop my Pantry: Day One

Happy New Year! Today I began my challenge to shop my pantry, a good way to use up things and not spend as much money. Breakfast today was oatmeal (which I hardly ever eat) mixed with cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar. I also had frozen blueberries and some orange juice. Apparently we have 4 bags of frozen blueberries in the freezer. Lol! Someone got excited when shopping once (hint, it was probably my mom). My pre-lunch snack was a delicious pear... I am a pear fanatic! Lunch was leftover fried rice from a few days ago and some spring rolls I picked up at the dollar store last week. They are actually really good... Much better than I was expecting. I ate them with sweet chili sauce I've had in the fridge forever. Snack was a little bag of vegan trail mix I made for Christmas. It's full of pretzels, mixed nuts, cereals, chocolate, and dried fruit. I still have about 10 of these to eat. Lol. Dinner was a bowl of black eyed peas and mustard greens
