Comfort food?

Today was one of those days where I just felt stressed about everything. I finished my last day nannying today. Sad to be stopping what I know best to now working somewhere every day that is completely out of my comfort zone. Gah, I work there tomorrow. haha trying not to think about it. 

I am also getting sick. It started with a scratchy throat and some sneezing, but today I was very congested to where you can hear it in my voice. I have been trying everything from essential oils, to honey/cinnamon mixed into hot water. It just wont go away.

On top of that, Clayton got paid. This means that I went to the bank today to withdraw money for everything from tithing to groceries. We do the envelope system. It makes me feel better to have a system but dealing with money always stresses me out.

On top of all of that, I have a fat zit on the tip of my nose that is super red and embarrassing. It made me super self conscious when running my errands today. 

It took me forever to get home with all the errands I needed to run so I found that I didn't have time to go to the gym because I have a bunch of homework to get finished tonight. It has to be finished tonight and so far I am only half way done. I am blogging to give myself a breather before I have to start again. 

Anyways, the point of this post is to explain how much I eat when I am stressed. Am I the only one who finds some kind of comfort in eating when stressed, even when I am full? I don't know what it is.  If someone does, please explain it to me. I just keep eating and I actually gave in and bought myself trail mix at the grocery store today. Sure enough, I ate all of it on the way home. So sad I couldn't make it to the gym to make me feel a little better about the calories I took in today. Man. I wish I didn't love food so much. I need a stop button! haha

I have a new recipe for you all. I used the left over kidney beans I had prepared from the Chili I had made the night before.

Loaded Scrambled Eggs
This recipe is totally up to you as to how much or little you want in your scramble. I am not going to put measurements, just ingredients.

EVOO to grease the pan
Zucchini, sliced and quartered
Prepared Kidney beans (soaked over night and then cooked in a slow cooker)
Baby Spinach
Sea salt
eggs (I used 2)
Cayenne
"Parmesan" ( I had this left over from the mac and cheese I had made a couple nights before. Recipe is in index)
For a cheesy flavor, add some nutritional yeast. (I prefer it without)

Crack eggs into pan. Set burner to med-high heat. Start scrambling the eggs with a spatula and add the rest of the ingredients in (Except for the parmesan). Stop scrambling when it is done the way you like it. Add the parmesan to the top and enjoy.
