This morning I spent over two hours pulling weeds, trimming hedges, trimming back trees, seeding grass, watering, and sweeping. Once May hits, I'll be able to plant flowers! Nonetheless, that was my workout today.
Coffee fueled the spring morning activity, and for breakfast I revisited the fall:
Angela's Pumpkin Pie Smoothie.
Still hungry afterwards, so I had a brown rice tortilla with Follow Your Heart "cream cheese".
Lunch: one and a half vegan veggie tamales (leftover from yesterday's WF dinner)
Afternoon productivity included a visit to
Sunflower Market. My favorite Organic Girl Super Greens (for smoothies) was on sale 2 for $5 (normally $3.29 a box!!), so I thought I'd try this kale mix while it was cheap:
More afternoon productivity, I made three different items for the week. Included are the slightly-well-done chickpeas (I had about two tablespoons).
Dinner: cooking yet again! Trying out
Spice-Crusted Tofu (I cut my slices thinner and used agave for the honey), served with a small red potato topped with Tofutti Better Than Sour Cream and wilted spinach. Tasty!
Hope you all had a great Sunday!
You could've written 'trimming trees and hedges' instead of 'trimming trees, trimming hedges', but that will be a concern of future students.
ReplyDeleteGreat looking dinner.
Weird. My response to you just disappeared! I think I said something like this:
DeleteYou're right, but I was thinking of the to-do list and wanted to separate out each task for proper credit! Ha! Dinner was certainly Shen-worthy.
A day without Potatoes is a day without sunshine.
DeleteOooh pumpkin pie smoothie, that looks great! I love the glass you used :) Love the close up of the tamale too, it looks so good! I really need to try and find one.
ReplyDeleteAwesome sale on the greens! They can be so expensive, especially organic but that's a great buy! I LOOOOOOOVE roasted chickpeas, it is such a great snack or is a great salad topper too! Dinner looks great too.
I definitely want to make miso soup sometime this week, I just need to see when I'll have the time to make it. Definitely soon though :)
Glad you had a nice, productive day :) Isn't that feeling of accomplishment the best?
It was great to have a Sunday all to myself! I can't wait to see how you like your miso. I hope this week won't be too busy for you!
DeletePrepackaged greens are definitely expensive, so I had to jump on this one! It's tricky because they are one item you can't stockpile. I knew you'd approve of the roasted chickpeas!
The pumpkin has been sitting in my cupboard since November, time to use it up! I bet you would like the tamales, even though they are a little spicy. :)
I LOVE spicy food! I have to beg the Thai restaurants around here to make the meals extra spicy so I can get a little heat! I bet I'd love tamales. Maybe I should just try making my own!
DeleteOh yeah those boxes of greens are pricey - nice find then! The chickpeas look perfectly done, and the smoothie sounds delicious. I wish I had stocked up on pumpkin!
ReplyDeleteThe yard work sounds hard but I hope it yields you some wonderful foliage.
It was a good food day all the way around! The pumpkin was my only lonely can from the post holiday sale. I'll try to not use it all too fast!
DeleteYard work is good because it allows for instant gratification. I can't wait to transplant flowers and seedlings!
