Kristin's Day 26: On the food front

I haven't been talking much about food here of late, so let me fill you in on what I've been filling up on.

Over the last 25 days 

-1.5 jars of organic peanut butter

- cartons of almond milk/coconut milk for smoothies/sauces

- numerous containers of strawberries

- several bags of carrots

- onions

- mushrooms

- black beans

- chick peas - canned/roasted

- salsa

- guacamole

- apples

- frozen mango chunks

- containers of baby spinach

- kale - softened in recipes/baked into chips

- plantain chips

- cans of diced tomatoes

- organic salsa

- boxes of mushrooms

- cans of non-lard refried beans

- almond meal/tapioca flour mixed into bread

- hummus

- 100% juice of various varieties

- sweet tri color peppers

- potatoes

- lentils

- green beans

- broccoli

- peas

- clementines

- cashews - raw/soaked

- chia seeds

- pumpkin

- cauliflower 

- fake vegan gluten free cheese (FAIL) - I made a pretty tasty sauce from this once, but the smell. I just can't anymore.

- bean noodles (FAIL)

Have all been consumed by me. I mix them up into recipes, eat them raw, dip them, or sauté them into meals. Listing all of that out actually makes me feel better. Somedays I feel like I can't eat anything, but this list proves that I'm eating quite a bit!

Spices, olive oil, and coconut oil are the one-way trip to flavor town for me. Curry, cinnamon, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper are staples.

TONIGHT, my sister Janelle, let me borrow a tool that's gonna change it up a little!! I've already made two dishes from it.

Dish #1

Dinner: Zucchini Spaghetti with mushrooms, spinach, salsa, and broiled curried tofu

Side note: I used to stay away tofu, but I found non-GMO and I'm giving it a go!

Dish #2

Dessert - Apple noodles seasoned with cinnamon and vanilla extract drizzled with peanut butter

Side note: This may look like, ahem gross, but it was DELICIOUS!!!

In case you haven't guessed, she brought me a spiral vegetable slicer that makes thick/thin noddles and ribbon noodles. It's AWESOME!! I may need to watch out for one on sale here soon!
