Nom, Nom, Nom..

Happy Hump Day All! I hope you are all having a great week! Day 3 of P90x down, so far, so good! ;) Although, I am sore!!!!! But I love it! Anyway, I have a ton of food to post again. What do you like, posts with a few pictures at a time, or a bunch at once? I've been posting so many pics per post, so I was just curious! 


Anyway, here we go! Over the weekend I made a delicious pasta dish: kale, tomato sauce, olives, artichoke hearts, sun dried tomatoes, garlic and olive oil over gluten free Mung Bean pasta. I'm not going to lie, the pasta tasted like rubber bands, lol! But the sauce was amazing! I just sauteed 4 cloves of garlic in olive oil, added half a jar of crushed organic tomatoes (I buy these in a glass bottle because of the BPA in cans), then I added some Italian seasoning, sea salt and pepper and let that cook for a few minutes. After that I added the kale and let that wilt, then added the olives, sun dried tomatoes, artichoke hearts and let that marinate while the pasta boiled. When the pasta was done, I added it to the sauce and let it warm up. I think I will make this sauce over some quinoa next week! So yummy!

I made this smoothie one morning, that would be PERFECT for Valentine's Day: frozen strawberries, frozen bananas, spinach, maca powder (libido booster!), almond milk.

T, Baby A and I took a little ride to Evolution Burger over the weekend. T had been wanting to check it out. I ordered a vegan veggie burger wrapped in lettuce and he ordered the non-vegan veggie burger. I thought it was pretty good, he thought it was just okay.

T and I stayed in and had our own little party for the Superbowl (surprise, surprise, lol!). We like being with each other, I guess that's a good thing! ;) Anyway, I made myself a lovely little snack plate: Brad's Raw Chips, Carrots and Celery with hummus and guacamole.

I also ordered a gluten free, vegan pizza! This had Daiya, spinach, olives, mushrooms and artichoke hearts on it. I really should know by now, I am not a fan of Daiya. Too real, too heavy, too rich. Well, that's my opinion.

This was a yummy salad T brought me home for lunch: romaine, carrots, mushrooms, avocado, bean sprouts, sunflower seeds.

And going back to last week, a delicious soup I made with low sodium veggie broth, kale, cannelini beans, carrots and celery. I just cooked some garlic in olive oil added the celery and carrots until soft then added the broth and beans, season with salt, pepper and curry powder and add the kale at the end along with more seasoning and miso (I use South River, soy free!). Simple and delicious!

And finally, this was from a trip to Whole Foods over the weekend: lots of raw kale (it's under there!), lentils, quinoa, carrots, olives. cucumber. We've been bringing Baby A out more, mostly grocery shopping at Whole Foods. She usually sleeps the whole time! :)

Have a great day all!
