Meatless Mondays: Curry Sweet Potatoes and Squash

I made these the exact same way I did the chickpeas. Man...so good! Dinner was light. We also made popcorn. We started Breaking Bad. I know. We are so late but better late than never.  I love my footsie pjs. Pokey hates them lol

Veggie Quinoa Mash Up

We went grocery shopping today and we had to "clean the fridge" this is what we have that needs to be cooked.  Chopped up everything and sautéed for a little bit then steamed it. I haven't made quinoa in a while so I hooked it up lol.  My lunch tomorrow. I love quinoa. 

Roasted Chickpeas

This is too easy. I don't know why I haven't done this before!!! So simple. Possibilities are ENDLESS. I'm so dramatic.  Preheat the oven to 350.  I didn't measure. I threw everything in a ziploc bag. Little bit of this. Little bit of that. I wanted something crunchy and curry.  Threw it all in a bag and just mixed it up. I spread them out on a cookie sheet and put in the oven for 45 minutes.  These are amazing. So good and good for you! I think I found a new favorite. 

Sautéed Kale

I sautéed kale w baby portobellos and onions. Amazing!!!  Then...for lunch I had left overs w black beans and rice.  I'm a lucky girl lol. 

Pokey's smoothies are always the best.

Sometimes it's just better when Pokey makes it.  Tangerines, blueberries, strawberries and wheatgrass 

Cantaloupe and Wheatgrass Smoothie

I'm really starting to get the hang of this wheatgrass thing. :)  I used half this cantaloupe w a handful of wheatgrass w 1 1/2c of coconut milk. Blended it.  It was really good. It's become dinner for tonight. I'm actually full.  Cheers!!! 

Wheatgrass

I've had wheatgrass before and I'll be honest. It's so grassy! I know it's the best for you so I'm trying my best to drink it.  I figured drinking it in a blended juice would be good. I juiced 2 apples and a cucumber w two handfuls of wheatgrass.  Cheers! I'm glad Pokey liked it. Tomorrow I'm making a smoothie. ;) 

Red beans and rice

I really do have the best husband. I really do. He works full time and goes to school full time. He had time to make red beans and rice. They were amazing 

Over night oats in a jar

I'm now obsessed and I'm doing this everyday! Lol.  This is from the previous post. Yogurt was in this one.  This morning's breakfast  1c oats 1c almond milk 1/2 banana  1tbs chia seeds AMAZING!!!!! 

Over Night Oats

I've seen this all over Instagram. You literally can do what ever you like! add what ever you want. I thought I'd give it a try.  1/2c almond milk 1/2c yogurt 1/2c oats 1 tbs almond butter  A dash of cinnamon  Really excited to see how this turns out. 

Lo carb Cauliflower

So I've kinda become obsessed. This is really the easiest thing to make.  Roast a whole head of cauliflower at 350 for 20 min or until tender. I just sprayed the cauliflower w olive oil spray.  Then....Wing sauce!  Then heaven. It's so good. I promise. It's perfect for wing night lol 

Sunday Funday

Sunday funday!!! I went to church and then came home and cooked. Veggie tacos w saffron and Valentina.  We made Mexican wedding cookies. Made 3 batches. Good times.  It got late. We went to Popeyes and got chicken. I made sides. Stewed okra and bok choy.  It was a good day. 

Meatless Monday: Labor Day

Pokey went deep sea fishing and I hung out w my family. Lu helped juice for Rebecca and I. We were going riding.  Watermelon, honey dew, apples and ginger.  We did 6ish miles. We were sweaty!  We rode from the house to the park then back.  We get back to Angie's and my momma made quinoa and Angie made tempura veggies.  Rebecca and I felt guilty from eating fried food that we went back riding. This time we did over 10 miles. We did two a days. It was fun. I love riding.
