Adventure Begins in the Kitchen

A Palindrome, In Pictures

by

Breakfast: Overnight Oats (1/3 cup oats, 1/3 almond milk, 2 tbsp flax seeds, 3 strawberries, 1/2 banana, splash vanilla, drizzle pure maple syrup)

Snack:  Asian Market Cracker Find

Lunch:  Spicy Kale and Right Foods Roasted Peanut Noodle

Snack:  Another Bowl of Spicy Kale

Dinner:  Spicy Kale with Tofu

Dessert:  Undernight oats?  (i.e. raw overnight oats)

So my day (minus the random crackers) was basically a palindrome: starting out with oatmeal, then lots and lots of kale, and ending with more oatmeal.  It’s a little weird, I know, but I craved last night’s lemony, spicy kale ALL DAY.  And when I was fixing tomorrow morning’s oats, I couldn’t help but make myself a bowl right then.  Cold oats are freakishly good!

Side note:  I chopped off my ginger locks today!

Missing Mass Transit, In Pictures

Breakfast: Van’s Gluten-Free Waffle Topped with a Fried Egg

Lunch: Amy’s Enchiladas

Pre-Dinner: Carob Covered Raisins

Dinner: Acorn Squash with Quinoa, Apricot & Sage Stuffing

I’ve been hooked on Amy’s Organic Meals for a solid three years.  They’re delish and, equally as important, they keep me full.  When I looked at my scrolling list of chores tonight, I strongly considered enchilada meal part two.  But with an acorn squash staring me in the face, begging to be stuffed, that idea quickly turned into an impossibility.

Check back tomorrow for the squash recipe!

Quick Comfort, In Pictures

by

Breakfast: Steel Cut Irish Oats with Egg Whites, Almond Milk, Cinnamon, Nutmeg & Agave Nectar Drizzle

Lunch: Vegetable Dumplings in Vegetable Mushroom Broth

Dinner: Brussels Sprouts with Bragg Liquid Aminos

More Dinner: Veggie “Corn Dogs” with Organic Ketchup & Dijon Mustard

Today was all about forcing myself to eat food, quick food.  I’m fighting a cold which would have been wayyyy worse if I had participated in a full day of Gasparilla festivities.  Nonetheless, I’m fighting it.  And!  AND!!  Despite this weakened state that I’m in, I can proudly say that I’ve survived an entire month without meat and dairy!

P.S.  I’m heading to DC tomorrow  for an extended weekend and I’ll be meeting Daily Garnish for lunch on Thursday.  So excited!!!
