I love to eat. I like big flavors, and heaping platefuls of deliciousness. I have been finding that eating this new way, and my love of big flavor, aren't mutually exclusive, but meals have been a lot more labor intensive thus far, and a little more expensive than they used to be. I'm trying to have more components to each meal, so that it feels more like a complete meal. I'm also finding it interesting how easily other cultures can translate into interesting and hopefully delicious vegan meals. Middle Eastern, Italian, and Thai are some of the upcoming menus for the week.
Breakfast: I'm just going to say ditto, because I've eaten the same thing five days in a row now. Tomorrow, something different, I promise myself.
Snack: Green Monster Shake. I just love the flavor so much, I don't want to switch it up yet.
Lunch: Salad, leftover burrito.
Snack: Apple.
Dinner: Chili, broccoli millet pilaf. The chili was of my own creation, and the millet from the Thug Kitchen cookbook. While the millet was blah, the chili was good. Really good in fact. I'll gladly share the recipe after I've made it again, as I only wrote down vague amounts and I'll need to actually measure things out this time.
Snack: A few slices of thinly shaved parmesan cheese with balsamic drizzle. I felt a driving desire for cheese, and there didn't seem any reason to subdue such an intense craving. I don't know whether I needed calcium or fat, but I feel so much better now.
Exercise: 30 minutes stationary bike.
