My Day in Food (Vegan)

Hi!

Ready for another day of food?  This was my Tuesday eats.  It's all vegan and all super tasty.

7:00AM

Butternut squash pancakes topped with earth balance and maple syrup.  My first time eating these!  I wanted to use up some of the roasted squash from the day before.


7:45AM

Lemon ginger tea in my $1 Starbucks cup.  I love these reusable cups.  Have you seen them?  Seriously, only a buck.


While baby boy napped...


9:45AM

This chocolately smoothie filled with chia seeds, oats, almond butter, banana, and spinach, oh my!


12:00PM

Butternut Squash Mac n' Cheeze and tempeh (fried in Frank's Red Hot for BLTs over the weekend) with avocado and tomato to go along.  Basically I don't like to waste food and these were leftovers from the weekend.  Still just as delicious.


And a few minutes after I finished lunch...


Not the whole container, I swear.  Just a solid third of it.  Notice the sleeping baby in the background.  He sleeps, I get to eat.

Then it was time to visit the babysitter Sage will be going to when I go back to work.  Mama and Sage selfie!


2:00PM

Time for some more tea.  This time Kukicha tea.  Speaking of which, I haven't talked about my interest in the macrobiotic diet here in a long time, but it's still very influential in my life.


Sage and I then made a quick trip to Wegmans to pick up just a few items.


I got home and needed a sweet snack.

3:45PM

APPLE!


And then a sweet smile...


4:45PM

Handful of cashews to hold me over until dinner.


6:00PM

And finally dinner.  I'm starved by this time. 

Scrambled tofu with greens (collards) and raspberry chipotle sauce over green rice (made from sautéing spinach and scallions then pureing and mixing with short grain brown rice).  



This meal is all about the flavor.  It may not look appetizing but it's so crazy good.  This recipe is from Moosewood Restaurant Simple Suppers cookbook.  Moosewood restaurant is in Ithaca, New York with fantastic vegan meal options. My husband and I have eaten there a few times on special occasions.

7:00PM

Dessert time.  Two chocolate chip cookies from this book.  


It's a one bowl simple recipe that gets me my cookie fix in less than 20 minutes!



I just eat my way through the day.  I'm a hungry mama between breastfeeding and running, and that's good because I love food.  

What's the best thing you ate today?  

What do you think of my food day?

    1. Wow, sorry this took me a year to respond. The sauce is homemade. It's a mixture of raspberry jelly and adobe chili peppers...delish!
