G/F & D/F Day 3: Back To The Rind.

The start of the work week. Grumble, grumble. I'm not usually hungry first thing in the morning, but I wanted to eat at home since grabbing a bagel is not an option right now. I typically start my weekday with a glass of lemon water.
Same hot cereal as yesterday, Bob's Red Mill creamy brown rice farina, but this time without the fruit mixed in. I have to admit, this was not good. It felt like spackle, and it tasted like it too. Just a reminder that this cereal needs other things like fruits, agave and rice/soy milk to give it flavor. Lesson learned.

A fresh fruit smoothie fixed my grumpy problem: So Delicious brand coconut yogurt (plain flavor), with 1 frozen banana, 2 tablespoons Bob's Red Mill flax meal, water, and a handful of strawberries & blueberries.

Some in-between things: celery with peanut butter, Mary's Gone Cracker's (gluten-free) with my homemade vegan cheese, green tea.


Lunch was a salad of brown rice, red leaf lettuce, Native Forest artichoke hearts, avocado, kidney beans, black soy beans, caramelized onions, oregano, and oil & vinegar.

Later, Tim made the perfect dinner: a simple balance of greens (kale), starches (sweet potatoes), protein (marinated LightLife tempeh with seasonings and Bragg's), and a little bit of fat (Earth Balance).
