Late Night Blogging

April 23, 2008 at 12:24 am · Filed under Dinner, ED & BV, Veganomicon, Work out ·Tagged , , , , , ,

Sorry tonight’s dinner post is SO late!  I got wrapped up in some things and lost track of time…  here is what I had to eat five hours ago!  Before I get to dinner, workout was a 45 minute cycle class.

Lemon Chickpea Lentil Soup from Eat, Drink, and Be Vegan.  I left it thicker than the recipe called just so it could be a little heartier.  I also changed some ingredients around and used green lentils instead of red so the color came out a little odd.  The flavors were dead on though.

Veganomicon Black Bean Burger on a TJ Whole Wheat Bun with Spinach, Ketchup, and Mustard.

With carrots on the side, dinner was 478 calories, 27 grams of protein, and 20 grams of fiber.

While I was working away, I munched on whole grain Tostitos and my mom’s black bean and corn salsa.  I mindlessly ate and didn’t measure my food so I’m estimated an extra 250-300 calories of snacking there…  Sorry this post took so long to get up!

A Sleepy Salad

April 18, 2008 at 3:59 pm · Filed under lunch, Veganomicon ·Tagged , , , , , ,

I’m not sure if it was stress from my tests or my allergies, but after taking my tests this morning I felt really sick!  I called my mom and she signed me out of school.  I promptly passed out on the couch until 3 PM!  Since I pre-packed my lunch for school, I decided to eat that rather than make something new.  I feel pretty good now, maybe I just needed some sleep?

For lunch, I had a Salad with a Veganomicon Bean Burger and Sliced Fruit.

Sliced Apples and Strawberries.

Spinach, Carrots, Cucumber, Artichokes, Black Bean burger and Annie’s Goddess Dressing.  I also had a Wasa Cracker on the side.

This meal came out to be 370 calories, 18 grams of protein, and 15 grams of fiber.

Gosh, I’m still sleepy!

Zen Palate!

March 31, 2008 at 12:24 am · Filed under Dinner, new york city ·Tagged , , , , , , , ,

Zen Palate, a vegetarian and vegan friendly restaurant, was our stop before our Saturday night play.  The restaurant labeled if dishes contained dairy or eggs so it’s great for a traveling vegan.  We called earlier in the day to get a reservation and they told us it wouldn’t be necessary.  Well, if you are heading over to Zen Palate, I would recommend reserving a table- they were packed!

 

For appetizers, my mother and I decided to split two starters.  First up we have the grilled and marinated Seitan.  This seitan was so chewy and crispy.  I really loved the flavors of the marinade and my mom and I actually finished the dish!  (sorry it’s out of focus, it’s hard secretly taking pictures!)

 

Second up, we had the Sweet Yam Fries.  These were basically French fries but using sweet potatoes as the base.  They were so crispy and fun to eat with chop sticks!

 

My main dish was the Curry Power.  Described as a spicy combination of fresh zucchini, snap peas, carrots, onions, peppers, tofu puffs, all in a wheat basket.  The tofu puffs sold me but those ended up just being plain tofu.  The dish was wonderful and I only ate a fourth of the bread basket since it seemed to be a bit deadly!  The sauce was also deadly, a mix of peanut oil, curry, and some other spices.  I really didn’t mind though since I’m on vacation.

 

Dinner was filling and was a great way to get ready for the play because of it’s great location.  We ended up seeing Wicked and walking around Times Square afterwards.  I took some great pictures but I’ll spare you and only post one!  I would have to say that New York City was a success, both entertainment wise and culinary wise!  I do miss cooking for myself though!

Live from New York, It’s Ally!

New York City has been fabulous so far!!  I am sooo tired but the shower is currently occupied by my mother so I hooked up the laptop.  Yesterday, our first day in the city, was so long!  I feel like I had two days packed into one!  For lunch yesterday, I ate at europa cafe and had a tossed salad with tofu, chickpeas, water chestnuts, spinach, carrots, broccoli, and some olive oil as well as a fruit salad.  It was the best tofu I’ve ever had… or I was just starving!

PURE FOOD AND WINE

Since I’m tired, I’m just going to do first course of Pure food and wine tonight.  I will post second course AND dessert some other time!

For my first course, I ordered the Napoleon Pumpkin Crisp.  I can’t remember the full name, I should have written it down!  It had a cashew cream, crisps, a pumpkin sauce on the side, and a bit more but I’m too tired to recall! The lighting was very dim so the pictures are not my usual shots!

 

My mother on the other hand ordered the Asparagus Sushi.  Again, I didn’t write down the full name but I believe it had red pepper, scallion, asparagus, shitaki mushrooms.

 

I only had a piece of her sushi… it was delicious!

Make sure you check back for Pure Food and Wine part Two and Three!  I’ll also post tonights dinner (it was another Vegan place!)

My bed is looking really comfy, GOOD NIGHT!
