Reflection: I went to the beach before breakfast and forgot the yogurt I packed, so all I could munch on was the banana. I probably should have included more protein then I did. It was a good day though. Besides my bad posture. I need to work on that.

4-Ingredient Banana Oat Bars (With Options!)
Makes one 9x9-inch pan. Adapted from Ginger at Friesen Cold.2 large, very ripe bananas
1 teaspoon vanilla (optional)
2 cups rolled oats
1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
1/4 cup pitted, chopped dried dates
1/4 cup chopped nuts — such as walnuts, hazelnuts or pecans
Grated nutmeg or cinnamon (optional)Heat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9x9-inch square baking dish with olive oil or butter.
Peel the bananas and mash their flesh in a medium mixing bowl. Mash very thoroughly until no large chunks remain; the bananas should be essentially liquid. (You will have between 1 cup and 1 1/4 cup.) Stir in the vanilla, if using. Add the oats and stir them in. Stir in the salt, dates, and nuts.
Pat the thick mixture evenly into the baking pan. If desired, sprinkle the top lightly with nutmeg or cinnamon. Bake for 30 minutes or unti the edges just begin to crisp up.
Place the baking pan on a rack to cool. When the pan is mostly cool, cut into bars and enjoy with a glass of milk or tea.

Challenge?
Alright, well, I’ve been eating absolutely terrible the past few weeks. Take-out, junk foods, sodas, and not in moderation, mind you. And honestly, I feel horrible when I eat like that. I’m used to eating moderately healthy foods, but I’ve been slacking.
Today was a little better, but went a little downhill around lunch. So, I made a compromise with myself.
If I actually put forth some effort in managing my meals properly, again, then I’ll finally go buy those books I’ve been wanting. I know it’s not right to bride yourself, but I think it’s the motivation I need, considering I’m an avid reader. xD
So starting tomorrow, I’ll begin posting my intakes again along with a few pics from previous meals. <3

First Post- WOW!
Alright, first post. Well, I suppose to start out I should introduce the blog.
Welcome to The Blooming’s Voracity!
I don’t really know who to describe the exact purpose of the blog, beside that of it being one for food (mostly healthy ones) and occasionally fitness or other challenges/troubles I come across.
Um, my name is Aro, or you can call me Deviel (dee-vee-el). Either is fine!
And as a side note, this was a previous food blog, so ignore all the pictures after this post. xD
