Tasty Tidbits

 

 

I found a fun article for you all about vegetarians. It's The 17 Dumbest Things Vegetarians Have To Deal With and it's so true!  I especially agree with #2, #4, #5, & #14. I think #14 is the one that really gets me on my soap box, though. Don't tell me you're a vegetarian and then follow it with, "but I do eat fish." No! Then you're pescetarian. That's totally your choice, but then don't label yourself otherwise...

 

While we're looking at lists about vegetarians, here's a great list of 15 Basic Recipes Every Vegetarian Should Master. Just looking at those pictures makes me hungry!

 

We're going to be spending the weekend relaxing, cross country skiing (as long as there's enough snow!), eating, & playing games. YAY!

 

 

Here's what we've been eating in the last week:

Breakfasts

• Baked berry-banana oatmeal
• Leanne's Chia Egg Coconut Granola
• Gingerbread pancakes (leftovers that I froze & then toasted to reheat) with fig butter
• Bananas + pb

Lunches

• Grilled cheese with tomato soup
• Sandwiches
• Leftovers
• Pizza
• Grapefruit, oranges, apples & clementines

Dinners

Saturday:

• Veggie chickpea curry

Sunday:

• Vegan cheezy brown rice noodles with mushrooms, cabbage, onion, & kale 

Monday:

• Mega salads with roasted root veggies

Tuesday:

• Grilled tofu brats
• Green salad

Wednesday:

• The Comfort of Cooking's Southwestern Stuffed Spaghetti Squash - We liked this but didn't love it. I added cubed avocado & cut way back on the cheese, which was tasty, but overall I think it needed more flavor. Maybe double of all the spices? I think the spaghetti squash soaked up most of what was there.
• Green salad
