Happy Weekend!
Mar 1This week went by so fast! I can’t believe it is the weekend already. I’d love to get some baking in at some point- I’ve rekindled my love! I just can’t get over how much I love Dreena’s book!!
I started my day w/ 1/2 a banana and almond butter- this combo is just dynamite. The banana was perfectly ripe too- not too little, not too much- perfect.
I also snacked on some trail mix while I made my breakfast- the original plan was to put the mix in my cereal… haha!
I made Quinoa flakes again but this time I made them with DHA Silk soy milk- I really like these flakes. I think it’s important to switch up the grains we eat. I find it is pretty easy to only eat wheat and oats (which both contain gluten)- there are so many options out there! I whipped the other 1/2 of the banana into the flakes while cooking (I got this idea from Kath) and topped it w/ walnuts and maple syrup. Yummerz.
I had leftover chili again! It is so good I can’t get over it- I still have a little bit left over so it will be making one more appearance!
I had two slices of sprouted grain bread w/ 1/2 an avocado on the side. I just love the combo of chili and avocado!
I also had some of this organic dark chocolate bar from Bernard Callebaut (my younger sister works there and got it for me!) later on in the day.
We drove out to Cochrane (a town 20 minutes from our house) and went to Mackay’s Ice Cream for fun! I forgot my camera so I don’t have a picture but I got the mango sorbet in a cup- just picture… orange sorbet! =)
I was pretty full from lunch and treats so dinner was pretty simple tonight. I just made some whole wheat pasta (4 oz) w/ pureed butternut squash, Earth Balance, salt and a little organic cheddar cheese (a bit of a splurge!).
