What I Ate 9.16

Happy Tuesday!  I have the day off of work today, which is amazing.  I'm pretty much just relaxing and doing a little housework.  I also made a really yummy lunch that you guys will get to see tomorrow!

Yesterday was a more typical eating day for me.  Also, I had so much yummy food yesterday.  I feel super lucky!

8am: Breakfast was avocado toast with Sriracha, applesauce, and coffee with Silk creamer.  Avocado toast is one of my favorite breakfasts.  So easy, and super delicious. 

2pm: I was absolutely starving by the time I got home from work yesterday.  8-2 is a long time to go without eating anything.  Also, I'd been planning on making these lettuce wraps all day, so that wasn't helping!  These turned out so well, I was super excited.  They're just extra firm tofu marinate in orange sauce, then caramelized in the same sauce, and topped with a homemade spicy peanut sauce.  Soooo good.  I actually wrapped the third one in a whole wheat tortilla because I felt like I needed some bread. 

9:30pm:  So last week, before I had really committed to this vegan journey, I told my friend Nick that I would go check out this new pizza place that just opened down the street from Lazlo's, called Mellow Mushroom.  I had completely forgotten about it until he asked if we were still going.  I was kind of worried I was going to have to just get a salad, or cheat a little by getting regular crust (which might have eggs or butter) but I told him I'd go with him.  Well, turns out Mellow Mushroom is SUPER vegan friendly!  I was so impressed.  They have a special vegan crust, and they have Daiya vegan cheese, which I was really excited about.  They also have tofu and tempeh that you can get as toppings on your pizza if you want.  So cool!  Anyway, I got the vegan crust, tomato sauce, broccoli, spinach, basil, sundried tomatoes, and Daiya cheese.  It was amazing and I have lots of leftovers.

(If anyone is curious, Mellow Mushroom also has gluten free options!)

I hope everyone is having a wonderful day!  I'll have an outfit post up later this afternoon, so stay tuned!

What I ate 9.14

Happy Monday, friends!

Mondays are actually some of my favorite days.  They're kind of like Fridays for people that work normal weekday jobs.  It's been a really long weekend, my feet hurt, and my hips are sore, but it's Monday and that means I have tomorrow off.  Almost the "weekend"!  Also, Mondays are usually not too busy at Lazlo's, so it's a nice little break from the craziness that is the weekend.

Here is what I ate yesterday:

8am(ish): Little breakfast.  While I typed up yesterday's blog post I had a few pieces of pre-cut mango, some applesauce, and coffee with So Delicious coconut creamer.  I bought this container of cut fruit at Target a few days ago.  It had strawberries and blueberries in it along with the mango.  Well, on the way home from Target I ate almost all the strawberries and blueberries, but the mango wasn't even close to ripe enough.  Bummer!  So I let it sit for a few days in the fridge.

11am: When I got to work I had the rest of my overnight oats from Saturday.

I actually had time to go home for lunch yesterday, though not really enough time to actually cook anything.  I need to maybe prep things in advance that I can just reheat for days like that.  I ended up having cereal (Cranberry Almond Crunch, I think, from Trader Joe's) with some Chia granola and some Gardein meatless sliders.  Not super healthy, but it was quick and filled me up.  I really wanted a salad, actually, but had nothing to make it with. 

After work last night, around 10:30pm, I went to the grocery store and stocked up for the week.  Late night is my favorite time to go to the grocery store because it's never busy.  Also, sometimes it's the only time I have available.  Anyway, after I got back from the grocery store I had some chips and salsa as a pre-bed snack.  

Stay tuned for an outfit post either later today or tomorrow!  Also, I know only a few people read this at this point, but is there anything you guys want to see?

I hope everyone has a great day!
