Remember when I went through that waffle phase, wherein I made myself waffles every. single. morning. for over a year straight????
Now THAT was commitment!
I can’t believe I had the time or energy to do that every day from scratch.
I kinda forgot all about them for a while there, but then yesterday I had a hankering for them (plus a heaping mess of cashew butter on top!) and decided to go for it.
So I made myself a big ‘ol waffle. Well, actually I made two (full) waffles, but I only ended up eating 3 of the 4 corners, so I still have another 1 1/4 waffles left for another day. Heyooo…it was just as great as I had built it up to be in my head, so I am thinking this breakfast phase may be returning yet again.
I didn’t measure anything but I will next time so that I can share. The ingredients were:
- mashed banana
- egg
- almond flour
- Vega vanilla protein powder
- Califia toasted coconut almond milk blend
- baking soda
- salt
Imperfect produce delivery! They texted me that they were two minutes away and next thing I know I hear them setting the box down on the front doorstep (they didn’t even ring the bell because V was napping and so I wrote “just leave on doorstep” under the spot where they ask for delivery instructions).
Note: no plastic
For lunch I made a kale salad massaged with Nugget’s sesame soy dressing and topped with avo, tofu, and almonds.
I had carrots and kombucha on the side, too.
And then for dinner I made a farro grain bowl, which everyone went NUTS over. I should have made triple the amount because they all wanted more and more.
I started by cooking 2 cups of farro and tossing it with 2 bunches of kale and this lemon miso vinaigrette (only I used 2 tbsp miso instead of 2 tsp because I loooooove miso).
Then I roasted 2 cups of chickpeas until they were crispy crunchy.
To serve, I topped the kale/farro mix with the chickpeas and freshly grated parmesan.
I can’t believe what a hit it was with everyone considering it’s basically made from little more than pantry staples (grains & beans for life!).
I had this Lula’s bar later that night, too. I got this from Santa and I’ve been saving it for a day when I’m realllly in the mood and today was that day.
Slowly but surely I’m working my way through the obscene amount of chocolate I got for Christmas…
