Chilly Tuesday

This morning when I awoke it was 12 degrees, and an additional inch and a half of fresh snow on the ground.  Today's high temperature was 25. Did these facts stop me from eating cold meals?  No, no it did not.

 Breakfast: Sarah recommended the Peaches 'n Green smoothie (frozen banana, frozen peaches, spinach, rice milk).  It also called for vanilla protein powder, but I didn't have any.  I also had a Starbucks Grande Americano with a little steamed soy on top (at least that was hot!).

Lunch: I have been under the influence of Shen to prepare SB's Red Wine "Beef" Stew.

I try to limit my microwave usage, so I ate this cold - still really tasty!  Good call, Shen.

Afternoon, it's too cold for a run outside and I'm too tired (Not sleeping well. When the stress has passed, I will share its outcome) to exercise at home.  However, I'm not too cold or tired to eat more cold food.  Snack, party of six.

One celery stalk cut into six.  Half of a large carrot, cut into six.  Six Carr's Water Crackers.  Garlic hummus.

Ok, fine.  Now, I'm cold.  The usual cup of Bengal Spice while making dinner.

Dinner: tofu scramble, prepared in veggie broth.  Spinach, nooch, salsa. A brown rice tortilla to assist with scoop-age.

Shortly thereafter, I had half of a baked potato with Earth Balance.  Apparently, this was a hungry day.  Or maybe I was insulating myself against the 10 degrees expected overnight.  :)
