I used to do this every day

Holy crap I actually took pictures of everything I ate in a 24 hour period!  I can’t believe I used to do this every single day…

Starting with breakfast. 

 

I slept in til 9 but if I didn’t have a child I would have hidden under the sheets until at least noon.  I was still recovering from night shift shenanigans and pacman wasn’t pleased. 

Given that, both of our appetites were out of control.  I fed him first of course, but then got right to work on my own grub.

I wanted pancakes, but I also wanted banana bread, but I also wanted an egg.  Decisions decisions. 

I ended up making all three.  Ish. 

I basically made a small bowl of banana bread batter, minus the eggs (oats, oat flour, almond flour, stevia, baking powder, mashed banana, vanilla, almond milk).  Then I shaped the mix into two pancakes on the stove.  I actually expected them to fall apart when I flipped them, but was pleasantly surprised when they held together and tasted really good!  Kinda like oatmeal banana pancakes, with some greasy char on the outside.  

 

I fried an egg too.  Perfect way to start the day!

Lunch took 105-fridge-opens-and-closes to decide on.  Like seriously, I stared into our fridge abyss forever and couldn’t get my mind and stomach on the same wavelength.  Sometimes it’s so hard to put food together for me.

 

This is what I came up with. 

And as random as it looks (and was), it totally hit the spot.

 

Let’s see, two fried eggs, topped with avocado and Redwood Hill Farms’ goat cheese camellia.  Their artisan cheeses continue to astound me!  It was like brie – soft and rich, yet mild and buttery.  Such a fan.  A little goes a long way though, because I only added a small sliver for the whole plate.

On the side I had leftover roasted panpatty squash with garlic oil and rosemary.

After lunch I went on a walk and ran a few errands.  Nothing super taxing, but I still worked up an appetite.

Afternoon snack to the rescue!

 

These balls.  All gone.  🙁

 

For dinner I threw this concoction together.

In case you can’t tell that’s Hodo Soy Beanery’s spicy yuba strips atop a bed of spiralized zucchini noodles. 

  

I pan fried the noodles in a little oil so they got soft (better than raw zucchini as I mentioned here). 

Another Hodo Soy winner – although I do prefer the sesame flavor yuba strips to the spicy ones.

 

They come packaged together at our Costco (lucky me!), but outside of Costco, I’ve never seen them in stores.  Hopefully their distribution will grow because I’d love to try the rest of their products.  If you see these in stores, get them!!  I promise the sauce in the sesame is the best thing ever. 

  

Yes, the packaging is weird and doesn’t look super appetizing, but seriously, this stuff is gooood.

And if you’re wondering what yuba strips are – here’s the details. 

 

So yeah, zucchini noodles with yuba strips and sauce, total mouth ‘gasm.

 

For dessert I had a trilogy kombucha and Justin’s dark chocolate peanut butter cups with candied ginger.

Standard Elise day. 🙂
