Lunch

 My Grandmother made the best Yakisoba, that she learned to cook while living in Japan, when my grandfather was in the air force. I decided today would be the best day for noodles; I can never get enough of carbs in noodle form.

Vegetarian Yakisoba

Ingredients

  • Carrots, chopped
  • Bell peppers, chopped
  • 1 clove of garlic, chopped
  • 1 tbsp of sesame oil (olive oil will work)
  • Cooked whole wheat spaghetti
  • Morning Star Chick n’ strips (vegetarian)
  • Kikkoman Soy Sauce, about 3 tbsps

Directions

While pasta is cooking, Heat the sesame oil in a pan with the garlic and 1 tbsp of the soy sauce.  Put the  carrots, red and green bell peppers in the pan with the rest of the soy sauce until the veggies start to wilt and soften. Put into a large bowl. Add the cooked pasta, chicken (pre-cooked)  and vegetables. Toss until well blended. (You can add any vegetables that you like; it’s great with cabbage but I was out.)

nom.nom.nom

 

I stayed up last night to watch corny but funny movies, so today’s workout did not go as planned. Instead of running, I worked out to Exercise Tv and did ”Kick Box Cardio” with Tommy Deters.

That was a fun workout that left me hungry and ready to eat a big meal.

Never too late to eat cheesy eggs, toast and fruit.

Down the hatch

I’ve been missing my smoothies, so I drank a tall one with my meal.

My smoothie contained:

  • frozen strawberries
  • one whole banana
  • ice
  • soy milk
  • water

The thought of going outside on this beautiful day is a negative due to the temp being 100 outside. I’d rather sip Ice tea and lay on the couch…clean the apartment, read and do laundry.

I’m waiting for it to cool off later in the evening, find my swim suit and hit the pool.

Later.

Happy Saturday! I’m spending my Saturday cleaning the apartment and catching up on Grey’s.  I’m talking seven episodes behind and a dvr pretty full at 85%. Ouch! 

I had some marinaded tofu in the fridge and figured it was time to eat; baking spicy & hot BBQ tofu.  :) Plus, sweet potato fries that got a lil too crisp.

Lunch

Rainbow slaw paired with the best Watermelon Vinaigrette from my last Central Market trip.

HAVE A LOVELY SATURDAY!

Spending a Saturday evening eating delicious back yard food with friends is RELAXING.

Trinity and Kristin invited me over for a Vegetarian BBQ and fellowship with friends. Definitely a nice ”recovery” meal from Friday’s board games/karaoke bar crawl I hosted.

I’m never dissapointed when dining at their house. 

My plate included a veggie burger, cabbage slaw, potato salad and fresh squeezed lemonade.

Trinity’s homemade seitan sausage had to be the highlight of the BBQ. I loved every bite of the seitan sausage with spicy mustard.

Delicious.

I’m very happy with my relaxing Saturday night.

How did you spend your Saturday?
