You guys know I love creatively re-vamping leftovers. Case in point? Yesterday’s packed lunch.

I had a fridge full of random leftovers, but nothing concrete enough to just be eaten alone. Clearly, it was time to get creative!
First – I layered some baby spinach in a large tupperware. Veggie? Check!

Next, I threw in these cumin-scented baked sweet potatoes leftover from my healthy chicken fingers extravaganza. Carb? Check! More veggie nutrient power? Check!

I decided to top it all off with a light vinaigrette – just a drizzle of olive oil, a few hefty squirts of lemon juice (no fresh ones on hand!), a lot of cracked pepper and just a little cracked sea salt.

This was one of those… “sounds weird, but is delicious” type creations. I love complete meals in one bowl!

For something sweet and refreshing to end the meal, I tossed in a couple clementines (actually, they are minniolas… baby tangerines?):

Plus a siggi’s yogurt! Loving this brand lately – so thick and creamy and flavorful! Just wish they were organic.

I’m off to school – it’s rainy and cold here today, perfect for snuggling up on the couch with a movie and lots of blankets. Or… for yoga! I might hit up a class later today to get some stretching in before tomorrow’s long run. I really like yoga when it’s raining out… probably because I don’t feel sad that I’m indoors missing out on pretty weather Image may be NSFW.
