The Rest of Sunday-

Mar 2

I had the last of the Sweet Potato Lentil chili for lunch today- so sad! I just loved it and I don’t even really like regular chili! I also had some kashi crackers on the side.

I also had ants on a log! I used to eat this as a kid and I still love it. I subbed almond butter for PB (don’t have any) but it still turned out great! =)

Darren took Sienna over to his parents for a bit so I used to opportunity to bake! I really forgot how much I love baking- I used to do it all the time and for some reason stopped. I especially love making healthy treats- all of ED&BV’s are quite healthy. Even the indulgent ones (like Chocolate mint Melties) are full of things like Spelt flour, dark chocolate and unrefined sugar! Today I made the Double Carob Cashew Cookies although I didn’t have carob chips so I just used chocolate chips and I didn’t have cashew butter so I used almond. They still turned out great even though they were really Carob Chocolate Almond cookies!

I had 2 as a snack w/ some almond milk.

For dinner we just had a simple stir fry since we needed to use up our bok choy. I made a sauce out of almond butter (I sure eat a lot of this stuff!), braggs apple cider vinegar, garlic, soy sauce, honey and a bit of water. The stir fry consisted of carrots, celery, broccoli, bok choy, onion, and garlic plus some soba noodles!

I just had some chai tea w/ soymilk as my dessert (no sugar)!

G’night!

Happy Leap Year!

Feb 29

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.

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!!

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.
