A Mixed Up Monday

So this post is going to be a big mix up of foods.  From dinner Sunday night all the way until breakfast this morning.

Typical Sunday night =Sushi + the Amazing Race
I ordered Sweet Potato Tempura rolls and Kappa Maki rolls.  Jared’s fishy fish rolls were squeezed in between my nice veggie rolls.

Mmm, plus edamame on [...]

Mud Monster

I was really excited to make a Green Monster smoothie for breakfast.  I blended:

2 cups of spinach
1 cup of almond milk
1 frozen banana
1/2 cup of frozen berries
1 tablespoon of Dark Chocolate Dreams peanut butter

(Can you see almond milk leaking from my blender?  Oops, forgot to tighten the plug.  I’m sort of a disaster in the [...]

Going the Distance

We were supposed to end the Vegetarian Challenge by cooking a tofu meal at home…
Instead we ended up having dinner at Picco with a group of friends.  For the last meal of my Vegetarian Challenge, I had red wine and a few slices of the Neapolitan pizza.

My friends are awesome!
We stayed at Picco until they [...]

How to Spell Sunday

Well, today I’d spell it: Y-U-M!!!!

I made a PB&J Smoothie for breakfast using:

2 ice cubes
1/4 cup of milk
1 container of Vanilla yogurt
1 frozen banana
1 tablespoon of jelly
1 hearty tablespoon of peanut butter
1 teaspoon of blueberry flax seed

Amazing!  I gulped this down so fast I’m surprised I didn’t get an ice cream headache.  I was surprised [...]

Oil and Water?

I was excited to try Zico coconut water in a smoothie this morning.  I blended…

1 container of Zico coconut water
2 ice cubes
1 cup of frozen berries
1 tablespoon of blueberry flax seed
1 packet of truvia

Though the smoothie wasn’t going to be very filling, I was thirsty and it did the trick.  I also liked the subtle [...]

Peaches and Cream

I was really thirsty when I rolled out of bed. So a smoothie was the obvious breakfast choice!

4 ice cubes
1 cup of orange juice
1 container of peach yogurt
1 frozen banana
1 tablespoon of blueberry flax seed

I finally made a smoothie that was liquid enough to enjoy drinking!  The peach yogurt added the perfect amount of sweetness.  [...]

Oh my Omega!

I made a smoothie for breakfast with a sample of Barlean’s Organic Oils Pomegranate Blueberry Total Omega Swirl.  It’s a complete and balanced source of Omega-3, 6 and 9.  It is 100% vegan because it’s plant based.  No fish oil that makes me squeamish!  This smoothie contained:

2 ice cubes
1/2 cup of orange juice
1 cup of [...]

This Cat…

This Cat Betrayed His Girlfriend:  Oh my God, I am starting by sharing this link because I just watched it and laughed out loud.  Way too funny!

I wanted to use my Soy Milk that claims to be best if used by 10/20/09.  It was fine for my smoothie, but I don’t think I’m going to [...]
