Tuesday!

Feb 12

Sorry for the late post- it seems there is never enough time to do everything I want to do! Sienna is at my mom’s for the day so I went for a 35 minute walk/run outside. It was a little brisk but it was fun to be in the fresh air!

When I woke up I had a tiny pink lady apple.

About an hour later I had a serving of both Ezekiel cereal and smart bran with almond/hempmilk (a bit of both). I topped it with a banana, 1/2 tbsp udo oil, and maple syrup.

For lunch I had leftover vegetarian sloppy joe again on a Ezekiel bun w/ spinach and bruchetta on the side.

I also had a mango!

Also another PB cup sandwich and a tall earl grey mistro form starbucks (sorry no picture).

Dinner

For dinner I just made a wrap with red pepper hummus, cucumbers and spinach.

I had snow peas on the side.

Got Veggies?

Feb 11

Tonight I really craved vegetables and Darren went out snowboarding so I had kind of an unconventional dinner. I just steamed up some broccoli, 2 carrots and kale then topped it with tomato sauce and 2 tbsp nutritional yeast.

Obviously this didn’t end up having many calories so I made a sandwich for the rest of my dinner. The sandwich was also kind of dessert- I made a “Peanut butter cup” sandwich! I toasted to slices of bread and spread PB on one side, honey on the other and sprinkled vegan chocolate chips in the middle! YUM

I also had lemon green tea.

Shortly before bedtime I got hungry again so I had a small bowl of muesli (again!) and a sprinkle of smart bran cereal (natures path) with almond milk. I can’t fall asleep if my tummy is growing

PS- the bowl is Sienna’s- she starting solids soon!

And a picture of Sienna-boo. I will put some more up soon! G’night!

Afternoon munchies

Feb 11

Before I left for the docter’s I had a red pear and a little more mueli w/ almond milk- I didn’t take a pic as I was really rushed!

When I got home I had some sloppy joe and mary’s crackers… I didn’t have much time before I had to go back out to gymboree!

When I got home from gymboree I had a blood orange

and a slice of sprouted grain bread w/ almond butter and apple butter.

I am exhausted!

Repeat!

Feb 11

I worked out this morning! Unfortunately it was only 20 minutes on the treadmill (all I had time for!) but it felt sooo good. I have 1/2 cup muesli with almond milk for a prework out snack.

I had a repeat breakfast with a few changes this morning-soy yogurt, Ezekiel cereal, frozen defrosted raspberries and 1/2 banana.

Today is a busy, busy day! Sienna has a doctor’s appointment and Gymboree. I’m going to have to squeeze in a shower at some point before we before we head out- easier said than done!

Vegetarian Dinner

Feb 10

My lunch held me over really well today! When I did eventually get hungry I made myself a smoothie (sorry it looks gross).

Ingredients included:

  • frozen raspberries
  • banana
  • kale
  • vanilla hemp milk
  • udo oil

And for dinner…. I got Darren to eat fake meat! And he liked it! I made sloppy joes with veggie “ground beef”.

  • tbsp Earth Balance
  • 1 med onion finely chopped
  • 1 package veg ground “beef” (about 1 1/2 cups)
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1/2 green bell pepper chopped
  • 1 cup tomato sauce
  • 1tsp dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp ketchup
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 4 burger buns (we we use Ezekiel)
  1. Heat oil/butter/butter spread in skillet, add onion and saute for 2ish minutes.
  2. Add “beef” and saute another 3 min.
  3. Add soy sauce and green pepper and saute another min or so. Add rest of the ingredients.

It was that easy! We also steamed up some carrots and broccoli (added EVOO and salt and pepper) for a simple side.
