New Favorites!

Feb 20

I have some new favorites! I bought a great new dressing (dijion-tarragon) which I had with carrots and celery for a snack.

The veggies didn’t soothe my hunger so I ate lunch shortly after. I had a whole wheat pita with vegan mayo, spinach, more dressing and veganRella! I found a non dairy cheese I like! I microwaved the pita w/ the “cheese” for about 40 sec before adding the spinach and dijion-tarragon dressing. It was really good. I also had cherry tomatoes on the side.

After lunch I felt like I needed something else- I need to make sure I eat enough because breastfeeding burns a lot of calories. Anyways I remember the soy ice cream I bought yesterday! It was turtle trails- I had 1/3 cup.

While shopping (after vaccines) I had a pecan pie larabar. And when I got home I had a glass of hempmilk.

Today is not a good day… I have to take Sienna to get her vaccinations. I HATE doing this- I cry when she cries! At least my breakfast was awesome!!

I started the day with a gala apple.

About an hour later I had cinnamon/raisin Ezekiel cereal with almond milk. OMG soo good. I topped it w/ maple syrup and walnuts. It was a fabulous way to start the day!

We have no grocery’s… none. Blah. So I had 2 left over salad rolls from last nights Vietnamese food (we ordered in) with peanut sauce. They were OK. I also had an apple.

I just snacked on Ezekiel cereal and hemp milk today…. and carrots. No pictures because it was all over the places.

We wnet grocery shopping, thank God! I bought a carob bar as a treat and it was pretty filling- it ended up being my dinner! I had it with a glass of almond milk. Super low on fruits and veg todaay…. tomorrow I will have to be really good! =)

Breakfast

Feb 19

This morning was kind of crazy- Sienna decided 6 o’clock was a good time to wake up for the day which is usually when I get up anyways but I enjoy having an hour to myself before the day really starts! I really like having a leisurely breakfast- it is my faaavorite meal!

My breakfast was anything but relaxing this morning! Sienna was being a monkey! I ended up having 2 slices of Sesame Ezekiel toast w/ almond butter and homemade (not be me!) raspberry, mango jam. We desperately need to go grocery shopping so I had planned on having some frozen fruit with soy yogurt as well… that didn’t happen until about 2 hrs later. Haha.

I am also sipping on some tea as I type- Sienna just went down for a nap!!

Friday!

Feb 15

 

 

I am so excited it is Friday! We leave for Canmore (couple hrs outside Calgary) today and come back Sunday- my mom is taking Sienna! It’s bitter sweet because I will really miss her but I am also looking forward to a few days where I can just focus on myself! Yay! I hope everyone had a fabulous Valentines day, I got a new iPOD nano! I already have an nano but it is pretty beat up- I was so surprised! Canmore was suppose to be our Valentine’s gift to each other- all I got Darren was a stinky card! haha.

I also wanted to share that I had my first dinning experience out since cutting out animal products. We ended up eating at the food court last night since we were at the mall (I needed a swim suit). We went to Opa’s (a Greek fast food type place) and I ordered a veggie pita wrap with hummus instead of tatziki (which I looove), no feta and no seasoning on the wrap (has Parmesan cheese). I was so proud! It wasn’t that hard either- the bread might have had some milk products in it but over all I think i did a good job! Now onto todays breakfast…

When I woke up I had a pink lady apple.
