Veggie Lunch

>> Thursday, March 11, 2010

I've been MIA lately. Sorry.

Today I had a bean and rice burrito and a side salad. Okay, I added some tortilla chips and salsa but only a small handful. I felt like I needed some additional crunch. It was goooood.

2/18 - Thursday is My Favorite Pasta Bowl!

>> Thursday, February 18, 2010

I've fallen into what seems to be a food habit. The cafe in the building next door has "build your own" pasta bowls on Thursdays and Fridays, and I've become a Thursday pasta bowl buyer (because they're HUGE and only 6 bucks).

Today's bowl:

  • Bowtie pasta
  • Chicken
  • 3 Meatballs (lil ones, 'cause I wanted to try 'em)
  • Broccoli
  • Zucchini
  • Mushrooms
And a roll.

Yum! And I can eat the other half of the bowl for dinner before I teach my night class. Voila!

Thursday - Tempeh Surprise! (Ti)

>> Thursday, February 11, 2010

Today, I had leftovers from dinner so in order to give you the entire story, I have to talk about dinner first.

I had this block of Tempeh in my fridge and since I had never cooked with Tempeh, I had no idea what to do with it. I saw it at Whole Foods and all my vegan cookbooks raved about it but I was so distracted when I bought it, that I didn't really buy any of the ingredients to do anything with it. Duh.

So last night I did the following:

  • Sauteed onions and garlic in olive oil
  • Broke up tempeh block and browned it a bit
  • Tossed in stewed tomatoes, and included just a bit of the juice
  • Ripped up kale (leafy green veg) and tossed that in
  • Added some of my Pampered Chef Sundried Tomato seasoning
  • Tossed in cooked, whole wheat pasta
  • Tossed it around and then served it up

You could add parmesan but I've given up dairy too, so that was out. It was wonderful though! The tempeh sort of reminded me of pine nuts which I cannot eat either but love.

I had leftovers for lunch but even with all the vegan-ness of this dish, I am still reacting to it a bit. Not sure what is setting me off this time. Perhaps, the tempeh was processed where nuts are processed?

Anyway, it was good and even better the 2nd time around.

Thursday - Lazy Luncher (Ti)

>> Thursday, January 28, 2010

I took my walk this morning and wiped myself out. It's windy and cold and since my stomach is already yelling for food (and it's only 10am, my time) I walked across campus to get a Subway sandwich for later. I needed something a tad more substantial than my can of soup. So here is what I got:

  • 6-inch on Honey Oat with lettuce, tomato, cheese, some red onion, avocado and some sweet onion dressing.

It's lacking a good source of protein but the bread should sustain me as I have been giving up bread lately.

Is it Friday yet?

1/21 - I wish I could say it's homemade...

>> Thursday, January 21, 2010

But it's not.

Make your own pasta bowl from cafe next door...

  • Bowtie pasta
  • Grilled chicken
  • Alfredo sauce with a touch of marinara
  • Broccoli
  • Yellow squash and zucchini
  • Spinach
Also had a very large sugar cookie and some cranberry juice.

My doc said I need to gain some more pregnancy weight, so I take that as a serious challenge. I think I'm off to a heck of a start.
