Wonderful day, but missing my hubby more and more, hurts to sit, hurts to stand, muscles apparently telling me they had a beat down on Saturday... you'd think a basic 30 minute magazine workout wouldn't do that, but so wrong. Today, while trying to forget about my painful glutes, I ate + cooked + caught up on some TV for the first time in 7 years. Joyous.
Overnight Cherry Oats:
oats, rice milk, chias, cinnamon, raisins,
almonds, wheat germ, almond buttah,
half a banana, cherries.
Cherries from the Farmer's Market!
PS: first time I had ever had fresh cherries :)
Fruity:
Tempeh + Baked Pepper Sammich:
oh tempeh, avocado, mustard, bell pepper, greens, oh, fantastic.
cuties.
Juicy:
Costco did an amazing job this time on selling some delicious oranges! Love it, because buying a 20lb box of dry navels kinda puts a downer on your day.
Workout: 5mi - 54 mins elliptical (embarassing!) I was in so much pain, I could care less. It felt good, it was more relaxing than killer, and I got a nice weight session in shortly after.
and almond butter, and banana, and cinnamon, and raisins. Fab.
Seitan!
After reading mucho about soy (goods + bads) I decided to switch things up with my vegetable proteins to and bought some Seitan (read about it here!) a few weeks ago. It was pre-seasoned with a soy sauce type of flavoring, and I was looking for more of a raw batch. Sold in stores? Can't find it. So I found a recipe on this lovely girl's blog, and attacked it! Super easy, and quick, and... it looks like a brain. A tasty one ;)
Purple Potato Dinner:
I had to buy this guy the second I saw him at the Farmer's Market. Why can't they just sell these at the grocery store? They're fantastic looking! And tasty. Like your basic potato.
Wikipedia: The reason for the blue potato's color is because of a mutation in the P locus causing production of the antioxidant anthocyanin (way to make it sound not that cool anymore...) I eat mutants!
Garbanzos, Roasted Veggies:
yellow potato, purple/blue potato, tomatoes, squash :)
Seitan:
I meant to put it in with the veggies, but forgot. It was scrumptious!

One almost broken blender + some muesli =
Melt in your mouth. Good.
I miss my Edu.
Did I mention I miss my husband?
Happy almost Tuesday!
I bought vital wheat gluten this weekend and hope to make seitan this week...we'll see how it turns out!
ReplyDeleteAw, sorry you're still missing the hubs :(
ReplyDeleteBaking/cooking is the best way to pacify my mind - and looks like you did that with the seitan. Looks great - I always think of those little rubbery brains or aliens that you play with as a kid...you put them in water and they grow. And it seems like everyone is finding these elusive purple potatoes lately - except me! *pout* haha.
Happy Tuesday - one day closer to seeing your man, I hope?
Mutant potatoes! Ehehe. Is it weird that I want to try eating mutant food? Too bad the only potatoes I see around here are white or orange. Boo. I guess my fellow Canadians are lacking imagination in the produce department.
ReplyDeleteAww, girl that's so sweet/sad that you miss your hubs. But he's coming home soon, right? And it looks like you've been cooking/baking up a storm while he was gone, so I bet there's a lot of delicious food you can present him with. Of course, I bet he'll be the most happy to see you again... although, banana bread will probably come in a close second ;)
