A Spicy Mix

March 23, 2008 at 9:27 pm · Filed under Dinner, Work out ·Tagged , , , , , , ,

I ended up walking 3 miles around the neighborhood this afternoon.  I lost track of time and thirty minutes before my family had their Easter dinner, I realized I didn’t have anything to eat!  So, I whipped up this quick meal in under thirty minutes!

Lentils with Chili Peppers, cumin, curry powder, garlic, and tomato paste.

Roasted Asparagus that I made for the family’s easter dinner.

Tempeh and Chipotle Hummus.

Everything together with a whole wheat pita pocket on the side!

…. I had way too many cookies today 😛

Chocolate Chip Cookies

March 23, 2008 at 1:01 pm · Filed under Dessert ·Tagged , , , , , , ,

I wasn’t hungry when I woke up this morning.  So, rather than force myself to eat I decided to do something I enjoy: bake!  I used Veganomicon’s Wheat Free Chocolate Chip cookie recipe.  It was so relaxing and fun to bake- The last time I baked was during Christmas (time flies!)

Cookie Dough!  I can’t lie, I definitely licked the spoon when I was done!

Fresh out of the oven. 

A close up for you guys!  They were crumbly due to the oat flour but they are delicious.  I actually made the oat flour myself by putting oats in a food processor!

I haven’t had cookies with real sugar for quite some time but now that I have given up Splenda and all artificial sweeteners I can actually enjoy a real dessert.  I baked these without knowing the calories but of course I had to find out when I was done.  I was shocked!  They aren’t that bad for you!  Who knows how many i’ll eat today 😛

Quick and Easy Dinner

March 22, 2008 at 6:49 pm · Filed under Dinner ·Tagged , , , , , ,

Since I have to get ready for my Easter Party, I kept dinner very easy and light.  After I made it, I realized it wouldn’t look to appealing on the blog!

Boca burger with 50 g avocado and spinach on a slice of Ezekiel 4:9 bread.

On the side I had some brussel sprouts.  282 calories, 22 grams of protein, and 14 grams of fiber.

Party Time 😉

Banana Flax Oatmeal

Do you see all the bananas in the background?  We bought ALL of those for just one dollar at the store!  It was a great deal and since my house actually eats bananas, they won’t go to waste!  I have a really good day planned today.  I’m going running with my brother at the trail this afternoon.  Later tonight i’m going to an Easter Party.  The party should be a blast!  I’m also going to be planning our Easter Menu.  I’m making a vegan dessert!
