eat food. mostly plants. not too much...

Happy rainy weekend to all! I am happily approaching week six of my new lifestyle (at least I think it's week 6... I'm starting to lose track) and yes, I'm still loving it. :)

I promised a bit more detail on what exactly it is that I am putting in my mouth these days. In order to simplify the process, I have adopted Michael Pollan's mantra: "eat food, mostly plants, not too much" (I still struggle with the 'not too much' part!)

So here's what that meant for food yesterday:

Breakfast:

Spelt bagel (by Stickings Bakery) with organic peanut butter and Eden Organics Apple & Cherry Butter... yuuummm! (And the bagels only have 160 calories each!)

Lunch:

Homemade grain bowl with red quinoa, steamed kale, collards, and bok choy, tofu, grated carrots and toasted sunflower seeds. I added a bit of hummus and it was yuuuuuuuuummy! Also, it's the perfect brown bag lunch!

Snack:

One organic apple and two brown rice cakes (Charlie, my cat, fights me for these every time they come out!)

Dinner:

Mushroom soup with kamut soda noodles, shitake mushrooms, bok choy and other lovely greens, texturized soy (sounds odd but tastes amazing) and two vegan buns stuffed with carrots, cabbage, ginger and other herbs. I have my mom to thank for this meal - sooo good!

Dessert: (I will never give up dessert!)

Vegan banana bread from Kensington (again, thanks mom)

Deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelicious! Instead of coffee, I am drinking buckets of bancha green tea and kukicha tea. In the evenings I like ginger tea - helps me digest everything - and warm vanilla rice milk before bed (I sound like a five year old!) :)

Next time: recipes!

Have a lovely weekend! Thanks for stopping by...
