Snacks

More Cookies and Chili

Feb 28

So it seems that it is easier for me to just do 2 posts a day as opposed to 3. If I can do 3 I will but if you don’t see an updated post around lunch time expect it at dinner! =)

On to the rest of the day….

For a mid morning snack I had a Chocolate Mint Melty cookie and a glass of plain hempmilk.

Lunch was more Goddess Gorbanozs with a toasted sprouted grain tortilla broken up (like home made tortilla chips- I sprayed it with canola oil and sprinkled on salt) and 1/2 a cucumber!

When Sienna went down for a nap I had the urge to bake… again. So instead of doing the chores I should have been doing I made Super-Charge Me! Cookies from ED&BV. Of course they turned out great! I had one fresh out of the oven… and one or two more later on… =D

I desperately wanted to eat cookies all afternoon but of course that wouldn’t be the best thing to do… so I also had a mango as well.

For dinner I made yet another ED&BV recipe- the Sweet Potato Lentil Chili. Wow, it was awesome! It was so full of flavor- the best chili I have ever had and it didn’t even have any meat (or mock meat). I topped mine with 1/4 an avocado.

I also made some garlic toast for dippin (sprouted grain toast, garlic, Earth Balance and salt). One slice of toast for me and one slice for Darren.

For dessert I had one more cookie….

Good Night!

Baking and Grandma’s!

Feb 27

Sorry for the late post- after I ate lunch Sienna woke up from her nap and we went to my mom’s. I didn’t have time to blog! When I got home I made dinner and then Darren’s mom came over- I took the opportunity to bake cookies!

Lets start with my mid morning snack- I had 1/4 cup walnuts. I also had a “greens” drink w/ a bit of juice (not pictured).

For lunch I had 2 slices of sesame Ezekiel bread w/ tahini. I thought I took a picture… apparently not because it is no where to be found on my camera…. hmmm

And I had Pacific’s roasted carrot soup which I bulked up w/ a carrot, 1 celery stock, 1/2 yellow pepper, tofu and some button mushrooms (sauteed in earth balance). It was really good!

I also had one mini So Delicious “ice cream” bar… =D

While at my mom’s I had some organic dark chocolate… sorry no photo! And I also had a glass of DHA silk when I got home.

I made Dreena Burton’s Goddess Garbanzos for dinner! I added 1 carrot, celery, 1/2 apple, and rasins to the mix. The bulk of the recipe is chickpeas, Annie’s goddess dressing and vegan mayo. Yum! I had it with half a whole wheat pita toasted w/ canola oil spray (the real stuff) and salt. I also had the other half of the apple.

And for dessert I made Dreena’s Chocolate mint Melties! OMG. They turned out fabulous. I had two w/ a glass of almond milk.

Again, I apologize for the late post!

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.

I still feel hungry so I might have some fruit…. see you after dinner!

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.

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
