What do you need when you’re studying 12+ hours a day for 12 days straight?

Frozen Meals!  Another one of Amy’s delightful dishes!

And then I made some meals for the week: 

Tofu, Broccoli and Rice Casserole

• 1 1/2 cups brown rice
• 2 cups tomato soup
• 1 bag frozen broccoli
• 1 container firm tofu
• 1/2 cup chopped onions
• Italian seasoning (~1 tbsp each): basil, oregano, parsley, rosemary, fennel, salt, pepper, garlic
• 2 cups boiling water

Preheat oven to 350.  Boil the water.  Mix water, tomato soup and seasonings in a bowl (with a pouring lip).  Put rice, chopped tofu, onions and broccoli in a 13×9 inch glass pan.  Pour water/soup mixture over top.  Cover in Tinfoil and Bake for 40-45 minutes (I like to uncover for the last 5-10 minutes to get it crispier.

Voila.  Dinner (for 6 – or 6 meals) is served.

And for good measure: What one looks like after studying for 10 days, about 12 hours a day?

^Like this.  Yeah, I know.  Hott.  (Yes, it deserved two t’s.)

How was your weekend?  Do anything exciting?  Hope you all have a great week!  Can’t wait to catch up this weekend!*

*I will be signing off for the week until Friday – I have prelims on Tuesday/Thursday that require 100% focus this week.  Wish me luck – I can’t believe that Thursday at noon PST this year will finally be over!  Gaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!  Too bad my ‘future’ as a PhD student depends on these TWO tests.  Begin panic attack now…
