Pizza with a Sweet Ending

April 11, 2008 at 7:52 pm · Filed under Dessert, Dinner, Work out ·Tagged , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Today was so nice and warm but it looked like it was going to rain this afternoon!  Thank goodness the rain stayed away because I ran 3 miles around the neighborhood in 26:27.  The run was really great and it was nice to see all the flowers that have bloomed!  I have some great news though….

It’s PIZZA night!!

I started pizza night off with spinach, roasted squash, and roasted eggplant leftover from pizza toppings.

For my pizza, I used Trader Joe’s pre-made 100% whole wheat pizza dough.  This dough was amazing and baked up so well and for only 99 cents, it’s the deal of the century.  I think i’ll use the left over dough this weekend!

I topped the pizza with FYH Vegan Gourmet Cheese, Roasted Squash, Roasted Eggplant, Earth Fare Marinara, and Mushrooms.

Dinner was fantastic and I definitely ate it all!  I also had some grapes and baby dill pickles while cooking- weird craving!  All together, this doughy feast came out to 472 calories, 14 grams of protein, and 16 grams of fiber.

After Dinner, I was craving something sweet but I wanted to keep things healthy and light!

Banana with Cinnamon Raisin Swirl Peanut Butter from PB & Co.

It was amazing! I’ve never had this type of PB before and this tiny sweet treat took me about 30 minutes to eat- I savored it!  It was only 126 calories, 4 grams of protein, and 2 grams of fiber!

Good Night! 🙂

Vegan Waldorf Salad with Roasted Veggies

April 11, 2008 at 3:00 pm · Filed under lunch ·Tagged , , , , , , ,

It’s officially the weekend!  I am going to post lunch really fast and then crash at Borders for awhile, I love reading books for free there!  Afterwards, I’ll head on over to Earth Fare for Vegan Cheese (tonight is pizza night!!) and then workout.

I’ve never actually had a Waldorf Chicken salad and I am always seeing versions of it on recipe websites!  So, I decided to make my own veganized Waldorf Salad!

Trader Joe’s Chicken-less Strips, celery, raisins, apple, nayonaise, and an assortment of spices.  It was delicious and I can see myself making it a lot more this summer since it’s such a cool, refreshing dish!

On the side, I had roasted sweet potato, asparagus, broccoli, carrot, and eggplant all dipped into 1 tbs of Annie’s Goddess Dressing.  I love Goddess dressing right now, I can’t get enough of this tangy dressing!

Today’s lunch was 449 calories, 28 grams of protein, and 14 grams of fiber!

A Spicy Mix

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!

322 calories, 23 grams of protein, and 20 grams of fiber.

…. I had way too many cookies today 😛
