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!

Darren and myself went to see Juno tonight! We had his mom come over to babysit Sienna- it was a great movie. I highly recommend seeing it if you haven’t!

My lunch held me over really well but when I got hungry again the hunger really struck! I had some plain yogurt with ezekiel cereal (1/4 cup) and 2 kiwi’s.

For dinner I made chicken stir fry. I used (for 2 people):

• 1 chicken breast marinated in soy sauce and olive oil
• 2 carrots
• 1 celery stock
• 5 button mushrooms
• 1 head bok choy
• 3 green onions
• garlic
• 1/2 tsp olive oil
• soy sauce to taste
• 3 oz Soba noodles
• sprinkle of slivered almonds

I stir fried the chicken up first and then put it aside. I tossed the veggies in a 1/2 tsp oil first and then added it to the pan (reduces the chances of the oil oxidizing and reduces the amount of oil needed). Once veggies/garlic were soften I added the chicken and noodles. It was super fast and easy!

Before the movie we went to starbucks and I got a tall soy earl grey mistro (half tea, half steamed soymilk) and I added 2 packets of sugar in the raw.

After the movie I was pretty hungry so we went to the Good Earth around the corner and I had one of their awesome granola bars and a small soy chai latte.

I am pooped! Off to bed- good night!
