Tasty Tidbits

It was a snowy week! And a busy one. So, not much to say except WOOHOO it's weekend!!!!!!!!

We got beat at pinochle twice and won once, but still had fun!

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

Breakfasts

• Leanne's Chia Egg Coconut Granola
• The Sweet Life's Vegan Pumpkin Waffles
• Blueberry buckwheat pancakes
• Berry chia oatmeal with almond butter
• Jenna's Elvis Granola - I skipped the chocolate & added coconut at the very end so it got nice & toasty. This stuff is delicious! I love the way adding nut butters to granola makes it so good.
• Baked banana & berry oatmeal
• Bananas + pb

Lunches

• Black bean burritos
• Bean salad
• Tempeh pad thai
• Sandwiches
• Leftovers
• Toast with mashed avocado
• Grapefruit, oranges, apples & clementines

Dinners

Saturday:

• Homemade pizza (1 with pesto, 1 with tomato sauce, both with onions, mushrooms, peppers, & broccoli)

Sunday:

• Roasted root veggies (potatoes, turnips, parsnips, sweet potatoes)
• Green salad 

Monday:

• Love & Lemons' Tomato, Chickpea, & Coconut Soup - This was perfect for a cold winter evening. It was flavorful & thick, without feeling heavy.
• Rice crackers
• Carrots sticks

Tuesday:

• Sweet potato gnocchis cooked with onions, zucchini, & eggplant
• Oh My Veggies' Spicy Black Bean Meatballs - These really were spicy! They were super easy to make - no forming little balls & making a huge mess. Instead, they cook in a mini muffin tin. I'd like to try them with other spices...an Italian version, maybe a Thai version...the possibilities are endless! Plus they'd freeze well.

Wednesday:

• Brown rice, roasted root veggies, steamed broccoli, & great northern beans with sriracha sauce

Thursday:

Dinner at Mom & Pops' before choir

• Cauliflower & peas with rice
• Black & kidney bean mixture
• Green salad

Friday:

• Mega Salad - romaine & spinach with mushrooms, radishes, kiwi, feta, & seared tempeh

Treats

• Ashley's Chocolate Oatmeal Cookie Pie - We loved this! I would double the recipe next time, though. We wanted more!
• Ambitious Kitchen's Flourless Chocolate Chip Zucchini Oat Brownies {vegan, gluten free & healthy} - This is my go-to brownie recipe. They don't disappoint, & they're usually better the 2nd day.
• Angela's Quick 'n Easy No-Bake Protein Bars
• Trader Joe's Sipping Chocolate
• Top with Cinnamon's Healthy Sticky Chocolate Fudge Cake {Gluten, Dairy + Grain Free} - This really is super fudgy. It's like no other cake I've had before, but it's delicious!
