Breakfast: orange-banana-spinach smoothie (with cinnamon, nutmeg and a little agave) based on this recipe.
Late morning snack:
Lunch: I know you'll be very disappointed, but I was with friends I've known since college - who I absolutely love and adore - but I can't bring myself to talk about my food photography / blog. Really awesome ladies, we just don't share the same ideology anymore. Example: when mentioning the above smoothie recipe, and how citrus is now out of season (for the U.S.) - a few scoffed at my wanting to follow seasons and eat locally / nationally. Ironically, we had lunch at Linger, a restaurant that tries to use local ingredients! Ha! I sampled a few of the sweet potato waffle fries, and ordered the Meze Plate. When I told the waitress to make it vegan, she brought out gluten-free bread instead of naan. (Sarah, the homemade pickles were divine!)
Late afternoon snack:
How is the week already half over? NOOOO!!
That's so funny that you did interval training on the treadmill today because today I decided I wanted to try out interval training when I do cardio :) Great minds! I'm probably going to do mine on the elliptical or arc trainer bc I want to avoid impact if possible since my spine has been so out of whack lately.
ReplyDeleteAnyway! That smoothie sounds good, how did the orange blend up? Was it pulpy? A carrot cake larabar?!?! That sounds awesome! Great choice at the restaurant, I'm jealous of homemade pickles. I get what you mean about thinking differently from your friends. Most people don't get the whole blog thing so I don't throw it in their face, but the ones that do get it are really supportive of it.
That sounds like a great way to eat the tofu! Did it help with the flavor? I can't imagine how it wouldn't!
You still have a half a week left! Enjoy it! :)
Intervals are great, especially on machines! I sure do hope you get that massage, it'll feel so great after all the training you've done!
DeleteThe smoothie was delicious, only the very last part contained a little pulp. These Larabars are something else; they really do taste amazing! I bought a bunch a couple weeks ago when they were $1 each. After reading your comment, I realized that they might be supportive, and I shouldn't be so apprehensive! :) Thank you
Interval training is tough, but effective.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about the blog thing, I've come out of the closet a lot more lately, but a lot of people I know don't seem to "get" or have any interest in blogs.
Your dinner looks delicious. Did the sweet & sour sauce give the needed flavor boost to your tofu?
I totally know what you mean! I suppose I shouldn't take stock in what others say, even if they are friends.
DeleteThe sauce, veggies, and rice definitely raised the level of the tofu! I still have enough of everything to make it all again.
I'm glad you enjoyed the Tofu better this time. It sure looks great. Funny how vacation time goes by so fast. Or not funny as the case may be.
ReplyDeleteI would consider preparing the tofu for use in this sweet and sour dish again!
