Which means I should start planning my future, huh?! Oh man! I can't even believe I will have the freedom to do whatever I want. I know culinary school is in my plan somewhere, but I'm just not sure if I want to jump right into it after I graduate or work a little first and get experience in a kitchen. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Now that I have switched my major and can relax, I have been cooking up a storm in the kitchen. It also doesn't hurt that in my new house we have the cutest and largest kitchen! I find myself getting home from school and going straight to the kitchen to experiment. And I would say these experiments have been going mostly well!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I got the idea for this recipe from the most </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">delicious</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> eggplant parmesan I had in Naples this summer. I asked the waiter about gluten and if the eggplant was breaded. Somehow in my broken Italian and his broken English we established it had no breadcrumbs and was </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">definitely</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> gluten free. When the dish came out it looked like straight up lasagna. I was so confused, but I thought why not and dove in. The whole time I was eating it I kept getting scared that I was inhaling mass amounts of gluten, but it was really just the eggplant's texture matching the texture of noodles so well! After dreaming of that amazing meal since I've been back, I knew it was time I should try my own. </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Okay enough with the ramblings and on to the recipe!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<h4>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><u>Gluten Free Eggplant Lasagna</u></span></h4>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Serves 3 hungry Rachel's </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Ingredients</b>:</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1 large eggplant, sliced lengthwise in 1/2 in. strips</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1 T olive oil</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1/2 lb lean ground turkey 93/7</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1/2 medium, onion diced</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1 garlic clove, finely diced</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1 t. italian seasoning</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1 t. dried basil</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">2 c. Trader Joes organic marinara sauce</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">4 oz. shredded mozzarella cheese</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Directions</b>:</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1. Cut off ends of eggplant and slice lengthwise into 1/2 in. strips. Salt strips generously and put in a colander for an hour to drain off excess liquid and remove the bitter taste from the eggplant.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">2.. As you are waiting for the eggplant to be ready. Heat 1 Tbs olive oil over medium heat and add diced onion. After a couple minutes add the garlic. Finally add in the ground turkey and spices. Brown meat until no longer pink and drain the excess fat out of the pan.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">3. After the eggplant has set for an hour rinse and pat dry with a paper towel. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">4. Preheat the oven to high broil. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">5. Broil eggplant for 3 minutes on each side under high heat. Let cool. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">6. Preheat oven to 350F. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">7. Now the layering begins! Start with 1/4 cup of TJ's marinara on the bottom of a 9in circle casserole dish. Then add 3 slices of eggplant. Then on top of that 1/4 of the turkey and then 1 oz of cheese. Continue layering until all ingredients are used up. Top with remaining cheese.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">8. Bake at 350 F for 25-30 minutes until hot and bubbly!</span></div>

I went on a trip of a lifetime this summer and traveled to SEVEN different countries. I ate amazing food like the picture above in places like Istanbul and Marrakech I'll have to do a whole post on my foodie adventures.<br />
<br />
Life is going by fast and I want to document it! So here I am once again at the blog thing. Here's to hoping it will stick!<br />

</div>
This last week I was lucky enough to help plan a cooking class for the Dietetics and Nutrition Club. We had a local chef from a nearby hospital come and teach us his ways! I can honestly say it was one of the best experiences I've had with food. The whole experience helped me confirm the fact that I NEED to go to culinary school after college. <br />
<br />
One of the members forgot to get a main ingredient for the class which was red curry paste. The chef quickly changed up the menu and made Sweet Thai chicken with coconut rice, a coconut chicken soup, and for dessert cantaloupe soup with <b>cracked black pepper </b>and a splash of heavy cream!<br />
<br />
All of the food was heavenly. I learned so much and couldn't wait to remake the food at home. Now that it is officially Thanksgiving break I have sweet amazing TIME to cook!!!<br />
<br />
Tonight I made the Sweet Thai Chili Chicken.<br />

</tbody></table>As we can all see my life has been full of really important things. And recaps are where its at for blogging. I also had an awesome 4th of July party that I attended in Chicago at my boyfriends house, but I'm bad at taking pictures. I made cake balls, they were gone in ONE hour. I also made gluten free cupcakes and brownies those lasted longer...weird. I'm going to Richmond, VA next Wednesday!!! I will take a boatload of pictures and devote a whole post to it! But first I'M GOING TO BRITNEY SPEARS AND NICKI MANAJ this Saturday at Summerfest. I can now die happy!!! I CANNOT WAIT!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Today is my ONE day off this week so I'm going to try and fit in a run after my intern meeting.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

So I've applied to whole foods. I am using all the positivity I can muster to get this job. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I know that I would be a lot happier in an environment where people are buying nutritious healthy food for themselves. After a little over 2 months of working in a hospital I am just really sad for the people there. Ordering a burger and fries isn't exactly the best thing you should be doing for your body while your in a hospital for being sick. I don't feel like I'm learning anything that could be beneficial to me in the field of nutrition when I bring a diabetes patient a sugar free cookie instead of a regular one. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Ok the rant is done. I just want to be a happy whole foods cashier and go on with life!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

First I went rock climbing, REAL LIFE ROCK CLIMBING. At devils lake! It's really no big deal that our climbing instructor who has been rock climbing for 14 years, told me I would be a really good climber if I practiced. Maybe it has something to do with me getting half way up a level 5-10 (no one understands their rating system but the hardest is 5-12!) wall that no one else in the group attempted. WHOOP WHOOP. I'm a natural at a not common kind of weird sport!<br />

</div>Overall these last few days have been so incredible and I am so lucky to be able to do the things I can do. I am truly a grateful girl and couldn't be happier with my life at this exact moment. <br />
<br />
One thing I've learned from running the half is <b>don't doubt yourself</b>. You are so capable of so many amazing things you just have to believe you can achieve them. Please take me, the girl who couldn't finish a 2.5 mile cross country race in high school w/o walking, as an example. <br />
<br />
Woohoo to a great start to the summer!<br />

And then I awoke w/ one thing on the hungry mind...MEATBALLS. I found these bad boys in my parents freezer. Turkey, quinoa, and special spices. Madre makes a mean meatball.<br />

</tbody></table>My mom is OBSESSED with groupon. She bought not one but TWO groupons to a restaraunt called Jolly Bobs and after many failed attempts of planning to go it was the expiration date. So I hurried over after lab at 5:30 with my bestie Maggie and Rob. The place was PACKED with people trying to use their groupons! We eventually got our food and made it out in time for our meetings at 7! It was a record! As you can see the food was unreallll! The conch fritters were SO amazing.<br />

I sometimes get to read a few blogs here and there, but my google reader is up to 397 whoops. I blame all of this on working TWENTY-SIX HOURS in the last FOUR DAYS. Going from no job to a job is quite the difference, especially when you have a test to worry about too. <br />
<br />
<b>Food</b><br />
I have started the gluten fest! It was actually all good and I was loving all the gluten until tonight. I think my body has finally realized what's going on because I cannot move. I can feel my insides and they hurt...BAD. Actually when I started eating gluten I got embarrassed, because I had no symptoms. I thought this was all in my head and I was a crazy. Welllll tonight this has changed. Lets see if I can make it through another 23 days.<br />

<br />
<b>Fitness</b><br />
I haven't ran in 4 days. But, I have walked for 26 hours in 4 days. Non-stop walking is my job and after my first 8 hour day I. Was. DEAD. I'm jumping back on my training schedule tomorrow though!<br />
My plan for this week<br />
W-Interval training .25 mile sprint .2 mile jog for 3 miles<br />
Th-5 miles<br />
F-4 miles<br />
Sat-8 miles<br />
Sun-Rest<br />
<br />
<b>School</b><br />
School has been kicking my butt lately. With work and all the other activities I'm in sometimes school gets put on the backburner. This is NOT okay and I realize with the grades I've been getting things need to change. But, I'm extremely confident everything will work out and I WILL get good grades this semester. I actually started off this new attitude by rocking an Ed Psych exam this morning. I studied for a good week and I realize I just need to start studying earlier!<br />
<br />
Now back to reality. Woooooo!<br />
<br />
xoxo,<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div> The top 5 things I learned about NYC:<br />
1. It is not hard to get around aka there aren't 1 million people walking at you like I assumed from tv<br />
2. Huge buildings like Rockefeller center and Grand Central Station are MALLS they have tons of stores and restaurants in the bottom level of them<br />
3. The subway is quite literally the smartest invention in the world and SO fast<br />
4. The blocks aren't HUGE, the first day Maggie and I walked from 33 to 72 without even realizing we'd gone so far<br />
5. I could and <b>want</b> to live there some day.<br />
<br />
