When you have pears about to turn into mush…you let them turn into mush in some steel cut oats. With cardamom and vanilla and coconut milk. It was a pretty dreamy breakfast.
Lunch was Thai themed with the last bit of my Nugget sesame dressing, leftover roasted root veggies, kale and leaf lettuce, salty almonds, avo and cilantro. Then I added a bunch of kettle Korean BBQ chips for extra crunch which was the best topping ever. The kids saw me eating them and asked for some too, so I gave them some thinking they may not be into the spices, but I was wrong. They loved them and now I will have to hide when I’m eating kettle chips.
Dinnerrrrr time.
Our UC Davis student farm CSA has been giving us spaghetti squash every week and I am not mad about it. Instead of stuffing it with a basil pesto, this time I made a sun dried tomato pesto. I guess using the word “pesto” is a bit liberal here. There was neither basil nor pine nuts nor cheese…sooo…vegan tomato tapenade? Nope, that’s made with olives I think. Ok, so it was a walnut and dried tomato sauce.
I used both the sun dried tomatoes as well as the flavorful oil they were packed in and blended them with half raw walnuts and half (leftover) toasted walnuts. Plus a generous pinch of salt.
It was SO delicious.
Stuffed into some squash noodles for a cozy Winter night.
Sweet end to the day.
In order for this to be accurate, I should note that what wasn’t photographed included two coffees with chocolate almond milk, many more chips and carrots, a kombucha and another few bites of chocolate. That’s pretty standard for my daily unpictured items…although sometimes I miss any and all snacks entirely (kale chips, roasted nuts, green juice, etc.). Hopefully nobody cares about those. I try to take photos if it’s something new or something I love, but otherwise I tend to omit the non-meals.
Just wanted to pop in and let you know I made the All Against Grain Curry Chicken Salad last night and we really enjoyed it! It was something completely different to what I usually make, but we’ll definitely keep in in the rotation 🙂 So thanks for the inspiration!!
Yay! Glad you liked it 🙂
So funny, I didn’t buy those chips myself because i was worried they would be too spicy!
Spaghetti squash dinner sounds great, I don’t buy it that often cuz i seem to eat it and get full yet am hungry an hour later. The walnuts would definitely help avoid that, such a good idea with the sun dried tomatoes
I kinda like that you can eat and feel full and then you have plenty of room for dessert later 😉
