Carbo Loading:
(verb) To consume large amounts of carbohydrates through food intake.
Above: spiralized zucchini noodles with my homemade Alfredo sauce, veggies similar to the ones from Thanksgiving, and two toasted whole-wheat English Muffins with jam. Two muffins are better than one ;).

Speaking of carbs… I’m finally getting around to posting the recipe for that oat milk! Here she be:
CCK’s Oat Milk
Ingredients:
3 and 1/2 cups super-hot water
1 cup rolled oats
Optional: vanilla extract, sweetener, salt
In a lidded container, combine all ingredients, cover, and refrigerate. After a few hours (or a day), blend until smooth. (Edit: a reader left the suggestion of grinding the oats in a coffee grinder first if you want a smoother consistency.)

Sounds like a fun week … for the blog anyway 🙂
What year are you in school?
Back to school?! BOOO! Nothing going on for me this week at all. Just still trying to get back in the groove. 🙂
Your meal looks great! I still have to try zucchini noodles some day…
As for your question, I have one last exam this week, and then I have to get ready for the next semester, too (that’s not until february, though). Hope you enjoy the last bit of your vacation!
Looking forward to your day-in-the-life post 🙂 that sounds fun!
great carb-o-licious meal! I, too, am a total carb lover. the alfredo sauce looks great too! like Bonnie, I’m excited for your day in the life post!
enjoy the end of break and good luck with going back to school!
Love the carbs (unrefined healthy ones, of course!). I want those english muffins–english muffins with jam are one of my favorite things! The spiralized zucchini looks delicious too. I really should get one of those spiralizers. I think I’d eat a lot more zucchini if I did.
hip-hip-hooray for carbs! two muffins are certainly better than one. i’ll have to try that alfredo sauce, pre-veg days alfredo was my pasta accomplice of choice
mmm…. carbs….
carb’s are worth living for <3 happy sunday snookums! xo
For the record – Calorie King is telling me I’m averaging 50% of my diet in carbs daily. I can live with that!
looks like you’ve got a jammed-packed week ahead of you. i look forward to reading all about it!
I heart carbo-loading. Good luck with the back to school grind!
I’m a major carb-lover too. One time I went on a low-carb diet in college and I was the grumpiest, most miserable person ever. No one wanted to be around me. Never again!
Also, I want a spiralizer so badly! Where can I get one? Online?
Sounds like a busy (but hopefully fun) week – for me is checking out two (or three) schools and deciding when and where (and for what) I am going back for!
VITA-MIX giveaway? Ahhhhhh! Haha 🙂
I love my carbs too! Give me a bowl of whole wheat pasta and I am happy, happy girl!
