First day back at work. A little more daunting. I discovered that my favorite coffee shop morning routine is gonna need a change up. I always get a drip coffee with creamer and honey. This poses an problem because good quality honey is awesome with its super taste and antioxidant properties. Let me know what you think about honey…
BF: coffee and tofu scramble “egg” burrito (Cedar’s spinach tortilla); let me say that this morning burrito could easily be a go-to breakfast. I will def add the recipe because it’s very important to get just the right consistency of tofu. The soft kind ends up making mushy eggs. The extra firm is too chunky. I also learned about such a thing as nutritional yeast…who knew!? This breakfast was a epiphoneal moment (like that new word??) This has tofu, avocado and a big thick tortilla. It’s as good as the quiche that I used to get at my coffee shop and replaces ham/egg/cheese/pastry with plant protein and high quality fat.
Lunch: Seitan bacon and avocado hummus sandwich. carrots. apple.
Snack: handful of almonds and my vitamins with some vanilla Ripple (that I took to work and left in the fridge– hey guess what? my co-worker used some in her coffee as creamer. good idea…)
Dinner: I made pasta for the kids while they were at soccer. For me, I made a quick cashew cream sauce that was also amazing. What have I been doing all this time making a cream sauce from heavy whipping cream? I need to add the recipe for the cashew cream to this site. Other than soaking the cashews overnight in water, it took 5 minutes. Adding garlic and oregano made it perfect as an alfredo sauce. BTW- I wouldn’t have been able to find recipes so quickly and easily without Pinterest. Thank you Pinterest.
The only downside from the past few days is farting like I’m in the throws of altitude sickness. It’s for real. Normally, I’m not a very gassy person…until now. I bought some epazote online and will add to bean recipes when I can. Hopefully my body will adjust.
