FAT tuesday

You may notice something different about the start to my day…no coffee?!?  Kyle and I were trying hard to stomach the rest of the bag of our most recent Starbucks blend (extra bold Gold Coast)…but there is a time and place for being green.  And suffering through bad coffee is NOT a compromise I’m willing to make.  We got this bag a few days ago, and neither of us have been finishing our AM java since, so what’s the point?  Instead of feeling guilty over wasted grounds, I opted for a warm cup of tea instead.

With a dollop of silk, just for morning consistency.

Without coffee to give me a good kick in the arse, I made some oats (Bob’s Red Mill) and added a heaping spoon of IM Healthy soynut love.  NOM!!  Warm.  Silky.  Sweet.  Salty.  Nutty.  Heavenly.

I snacked on figs + carob covered raisins while reading.

Then for lunch I had a recent fave.

GN veggie burger on an english muffin with avocado and greek yogurt.  Massive burger much?  The muffin looks like a hat on top.

A-maz-ING.  Plus the obligatory dried fruit platter.

And a papaya spear on my way out the door.

I had an ACLS recertification course (ugh) so I decided to take my camera and snap photos on the way there.

Not too shabby, right?  Anyways, now that you’ve seen my hood, back to my eats.

By the time I got out of that damn class it was already 8:45 so there was no time to mess around.  My stomach wanted food, like yesterday, so I stopped at WF for some hot bar action.

Plate 1: baked tofu, soba noodles, edamame salad

Plate 2: more of the above plus seitan

Dessert: 3 flattened coconut date rolls and an extremely generous portion of carob raisins

**to answer a few Q’s I’ve been getting…when I make seitan, the brand I use is West Soy’s traditionally seasoned seitan (in a blue box).  It’s easy peasy, guys, TRY it!!

    Yay – thanks for answering out seitan question! I’m going to pick some up when I’m in Dallas 🙂
    Yes, that muffin does look like a hat – a top hat really. I was expecting it to have a little cane and dance a jig. God, I’m a nerd.

    Oh coffee – when it’s good, it’s good and when it’s bad, it’s REALLY bad!
