So let’s just pretend it’s Wednesday…

So yesterday I had full intentions of posting what I ate, jumping on the WIAW (What I Ate Wednesday) bandwagon, but got bogged down with reading and gave up any blogging ambition. And as such, I decided to just post this morning what I had yesterday. You know what I realize? My diet is pretty damned repetitive. I had the same thing like…three times throughout the day. Oh well. I guess that’s sort of the point of this whole WIAW thing, right? Eating a variety of yummy, healthy food? I should get on that. I mean, I did eat like 150 more calories yesterday than I normally do. I ought to think about changing up where those calories are coming from:

 

 

 

 

Wellness Weekend Post

Breakfast: Breakfast constituted of two parts. I had originally intended just to have 2/3 cup of my Curiouser and Curiouser soup, but was hungry after that so I had a cup of my “Spooky” Salad too. Which made me feel unbelievably gluttonous because I hate feeling like I have eaten more than I “should.” (oh damn that objective ‘should’). Oh, and of course I got my usual grande coffee from Starbucks at campus. No pic…sorry.

Lunch: For lunch I had another cup of my salad.

Snack: …and yet another cup of salad when I got back to my apartment around 4 o clock, with the rest of my soup to go with. I think I also ended up having a half of a low carb whole wheat tortilla with some orange marmalade, but that’s not worth taking a picture of.

Later snack: To revive myself after finishing my Hindi I decided to have some maple tofu pudding.

“Dinner?”: Okay, so I never usually really eat a “meal” at night (or any time of day for that matter…). But around 8 o clock I had a dish of garlic-y kale and roasted kabocha squash. Yums.

Last snack: I snack a lot. But I was still a touch hungry so I decided to have my other half of a tortilla, a slice of 35 calorie whole wheat bread (store bought, probably not the healthiest of things, but it was dry and tasted okay with marmalade), a bowl of steamed broccoli with garlic and malt vinegar and this. Pumpkin tofu mousse. Totally TOTALLY delicious.

Pumpkin Tofu Mousse

Serves 1

Ingredients:

• 1/2 block lite firm silken tofu
• 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
• 3 packets of stevia extract in the raw
• 1/2 -1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp maple extract

Directions:

Puree until very very smooth, scraping the sides of your processor as necessary to get any tofu bits.

So what’s your opinion…do I eat too much? Not enough? Just enough? Most days, I eat at least a little more varied diet, but I was busy and lazy yesterday and just ate what I had on hand. I’ll post later today my more “varied” list of eats.

And I can’t wait to eat this. I made it last night since I’m out of my other soup, but didn’t have any yet (well, just to taste it, but I not a bowlful yet…)

Spiced Butternut Bisque

Yields: 4 cups

Ingredients:

• 2 cups peeled and cubed butternut squash
• 2 cups chopped cauliflower
• 1 cup chopped carrots
• 3-4 cups water (I used 3.5 – adjust the amount to how thick you want your soup)
• 3 packets of stevia extract in the raw or 1 tbs sweetener
• 1 tsp ground ginger
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp cardamom powder
• 1/8 tsp garam masala
• a pinch of salt

Directions:

Boil your chopped vegetables in the water over medium heat until very tender. Then transfer everything to a food processor along with the spices and puree until very smooth. Taste for seasonings, and enjoy!

That’s all for right now. I should take a quick look over my notes for my ethics exam today (not that I don’t already know the information). More to come later, loves! But really…do you all think I eat too much? I feel like I do.
