the rest of the ciao bella coconut sorbet

2 pieces of tj’s dark chocolate

pb&j

breakfast: blueberry muffin from freezer (i was inspired by emily to freeze my extra muffins instead of binge eating them when they’re already stale) with earth balance. oj.

lunch: roasted portabellas, red peppers, onions with hummus and garlic sprouts in pita. sauteed green beans.

dinner: “chicken” noodle soup! we used tofu that i had frozen a few days ago and it really changed the texture, made it a lot more chicken-like! Click for the recipe.

chelsea also made mustard greens with rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and a bit of agave.

dessert: ciao bella coconut sorbet (omg) with an experimental topping consisting of reduced basalmic and melted ghiradelli semi-sweet chocolate chips. it tasted pretty good, but the texture was super weird! it was so crunchy we could hear each other trying to chew it all the way across the room. does anyone have a good ” hot fudge” ice cream topping recipe?

breakfast: blueberry muffin with earth balance

lunch: finally went produce shopping! pita filled with roasted portabellas (s/p, thyme, olive oil at 350, add balsamic at the end), and a roasted red pepper/onion mix (s/p, olive oil @350), and hummus. sauteed green beans.

apple sauce cup

dinner: tj’s masala burger on tj’s ww english muffin with red pepper/onion mix and bbq sauce. sauteed green beans.

i’m going to stop eating out so much

breakfast: blueberry muffin, warmed up with earth balance. they still taste good today, i declare that recipe a success

lunch: avocado veggie sandwich from ba le (click here for their amazing website). the miraculous thing about vietnamese sandwiches is that i don’t even really like most of the ingredients, but somehow together there’s this kind of delicious magical synergy. we also got this “drink” that was the weirdest thing i’ve consumed in quite a while–it was basically taro fruit, sugar, sweet rice, and coconut milk.

oolong orchid tea from intelligentsia. tiny bite from a vosges black pearl bar.

dinner at yummy yummy: cashew soy gluten (whatever the hell that is) and indian curry with seitan. white rice.

i ate a lot today

breakfast: raisin toast with tofutti cream cheese. oj.

early dinner: leftover padthaiwithtofunoegg

late dinner: leftover veggie hummus pita with greasy fries

blueberry muffins from this recipe, except i halved it because 7 cups of flour wtf? they taste good now because they’re warm; i’ll update with a day two assessment tomorrow.

pre-breakfast snack (?): tj’s pita crackers

breakfast: raisin toast and tofutti. oj.

lunch at noodles etc.: padthaiwithtofunoegg

dinner at cedar’s: pita with baba ganouj; veggie hummus pita, served with the greasiest fries ever and side salad

breakfast: ezekiel raisin bread with tofutti. oj.

grapefruit tea in a thermos during class

lunch: leftover seitan sandwich and a couple of the leftover black beans (unfortunately i was trying to carry a couple boxes and talk on my phone and i dropped most of the black beans all over north avenue). chickpea and spinach curry with rice from rajun cajun via the coffee shop at the bottom of the library. rajun cajun is ridiculous: i think that the sign says something like “indian vegetarian non-vegetarian cajun soul food.” in any case, it’s cheap and definitely not the worst indian food i’ve had.

twizzlers

chocolate samples at vosges! we were buying $250 worth of chocolate for a departmental event tomorrow so they gave us the royal sample treatment. the truffles there are not vegan, unfortunately, but the nice man gave me i think 8 different kinds of vegan chocolate bar to try just for the heck of it. my favorite was the one with chili powder in it.
