Busy busy busy zucchini times....

It's been a very busy time lately. The Financial Crisis gave me a slap in the face when the project I am contracted too has been shelved, meaning I am suddenly jobless. I decided (after much discussion with the boy) that it was finally time to follow my dream of becoming a Nutritionist.
So I have enrolled in Bachelor of Health Science (Nutrition) and am going to be a full-time student for the next 3 years. It's not going to be easy but I am feeling really optimistic about the future, even if I won't be able to feed my shopping needs :)

Besides all of these busy times I have been eating well, so here's a few photos of what has been fuelling my body lately.
Mushroom, broccoli, zucchini, brown rice, chickpea, and quinoa with 'popped' pepitas and toasted sesame seeds.

White miso soup with beans, carrot, sweet peas, zucchini, tofu and soba noodles.
Tomato, zucchini, onion and mushroom pizza's on organic base.
Can you see the common ingredient here? I just love zucchini.

I hope everyone enjoyed their Australia Day, Chinese New Year and the Triple J Hottest 100.

well I hope that the financial crisis ends up doing you a favour and the nutritionist course leads you where you want to go - of course if all else fails there is always zucchini :-) (I love the stuff too)

Thanks Johanna! Perhaps I should plant some zucchini (I can only do it in a pot??) just in case all else fails at least I will be able to eat :)

Thank you Rachel, I am hoping if I reach for the stars, I might just catch one :)
