Nope. Not a typo. I had QUITE a demanding patient load today at work. Talk about a shock back into reality. I’ve been off for about a week now, so I knew it was going to be an abrupt change from the lackadaisical days I’ve been having (lounging around the warm apartment without a hint of an agenda).
Anyways, today’s eats were as thrilling as ever. Ok, I’ll admit it, I’m laying on the sarcasm pretty thick.
Starbucks soy misto to get the day going.
Odwalla bar when I couldn’t ignore the growling in my stomach any longer.
Sammie with Alvarado Street bread, hummus, greek yog, bell pepps, and Smart deli “turkey” meat.
Figs and dried pineapple.
Round 2 and 3 in the Starbucks department.
Apple in the PM.
And HOME at last…I actually had a bit of energy when I got home, so I decided to whip up a stir fry.
Seitan is not the devil, kids.
This literally took 15 minutes (even less for the “eggs”).
This was one of 2 plates piled to the very edges.
That’s also half a tomato sliced on top. The seitan chunks were HUGE and sooooo flavorful!! I really heart seitan. It’s the easiest non-meat protein to cook with BY FAR. You literally can’t mess it up, and it’s so healthy. Mmmmm…
Anyways, no new Gossip Girl 🙁
So I pretty much crashed right after dessert.
:) Figs, papaya, pineapple, oh my!!
BEST.WEBSITE.EVER. Create your OWN cereal!!
love the dried fruits! i need to find some next time i’m at whole foods. I LOVE dried strawberries but they are a rarity and EXPENSIVE. I saw a TINY bag of them for $4!!!! at the store the other day 🙁 ugh!
mmm hummus sammich looked yummy!!!
Yummy stir fry! I will have to give that Seitan a try! Did you use any sauce on there?
Bell peppers in a sandwich? I never thought of that! It’s super colorful! Love it!
Tasty eats!
missy – i added a few tsps of yamasa teriyaki sauce to the veggie/seitan pan – nothing else. i cooked the eggs separate, but only because i dont like the look of muddy eggs (im weird, i know).
Pshaw, ya gotta have clean eggs, i totally feel ya!! Yay for starbucks, but i hope your workload eases up!
Yums to the stir fry and sandwich!! You may be pushing me to the seitan dark side – I’ve been holding strong so far!
Hope your day isn’t too crazy but at least it makes it go by fast?
Look at all that yummy food! Mmm!
You live in NYC? I’m jealous … my husband is from NY and we went there last summer and I LOVED it. Hopefully we can go back again soon.
I’ve never had seitan before…what is it made of?
love your blog!
yes seitan is new to me..
what is the difference between it and tofu?
silly question but i do not feel like googling right now 🙂 heheh

lesley – nyc is great, ive only been here a little over a year. both me and my BF are originally from ca, and i REALLY miss it in these snowy winter months. still, manhattan is unlike anywhere else, so its great to live it up now!
for the rest who asked, seitan is something you SHOULD ALL try. its SO SO good. SO good. it is wheat meat made of gluten, which differs from other vegetarian protein sources because it’s not soybean based. here’s the wiki site:
