Lunch was a little bit weird today- we had no food! I ended up making ED&BV’s tamari chickpeas since I did have all the ingredients for it. I had no idea what I was going to have with it- the only fresh produce we had was some baby carrots and I didn’t really feel like having them so I went into the freezer. We had some frozen sweet potatoes and that called out to me! I steamed them up and mixed it with the chickpeas! It was good! I added a smidgen of soy sauce as well.

I also had an apple w/ peanut butter.

For a mid afternoon snack I had some hot chocolate made with almond milk, light coconut milk, agave and coco powder.

We went grocery shopping as soon as Darren got home. This is what we came back with (we still need to get some more produce) and sorry for messy display- I was in a hurry.

I was so hungry by the time we got home (around 7) and I almost just had cereal for dinner. Then I remembered Kath’s lunch so I made a quick pasta salad. I used Rye spiral pasta, a sauteed zucchini, some black olives, the rest of my chickpeas and topped it with…. tzatziki! I love tzatziki and Darren got some for his pita’s- I caved and used it as my dressing…. it was SO good. Thanks Mr. Cow =)

I had fresh strawberries (!!!) and 1/2 a banana for dessert.

Today’s a rare day guys- its February 29! I can’t help but think of all the women giving birth today.. it’s kind of a confusing birthday for their kids! =) Today I had left over Blueberry Carob Pancakes from yesterday- they were still great!

But first I had 1/2 a huge banana w/ almond butter when I woke up.

Then I toasted some pancakes and ate them with some almond butter dip (almond butter, soy yogurt, applesauce, agave nectar, cinnamon- inspired by ED&BV’s cashew dip). I also had an apple that I also dipped in the sauce.

For lunch I had more leftovers- the Sweet Potato Chili I made from ED&BV. I topped it with 1/4 an avocado again and had Mary’s crackers on the side.

I also had cucumber and 1/2 a yellow pepper w/ dijion tarragon dressing.

For a sanck I had one of each cookies that I made. Plus a glass of DHA Silk soy milk.

Darren wasn’t home for dinner (he works one night a week serving) so I just had left over Goddess Gorbanzos w/ a slice of sprouted grain toast and Pacific’s Creamy Roasted Carrot soup. I also made roasted broccoli (olive oil and fresh garlic)- I love roasted veggies!!

I had 2 more Super Charge Me! Cookies for dessert w/ almond milk. I just love cookies…. =)

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!

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!
