I didn’t realize it at the time, but Monday was a day where everything I ate was absolutely delicious but turned out to be less than aesthetically pleasing. That said, I think they’re worth a share. I say as long as my stomach is happy, I’m happy!
[Pre-Workout]
Still going strong with my Vega energizer and peanut butter healthy bites!
[Breakfast]
Back on my oatmeal kick. I think I missed the creamy, melty nut butters on top and the coconut almond milk was delicious in it too!
[Lunch]
I was incredibly indecisive when it came to lunch and started getting really hungry but when I figured out what I wanted, it came together really quickly. I whipped up some zoodles with a crumbled cauliflower roll, a can of tuna, and a peanut curry sauce, similar to the sauce I made last week but with a touch of Thai red curry paste. Please note: cauliflower belly is worse than kabocha belly. Yet both are worth it.
[Snack]
I wasn’t overly hungry for a snack but I wanted a little something sweet so I was going to have just one bite of the chocolate peanut butter Vega one bar. Except it was entirely too delicious and I had half the bar and decided to save the rest for a snack yesterday. Yum!
[Dinner]
Made a lentil ratatouille and my huge ceramic dutch oven was filled to the gills and looked so pretty going into the oven.
I served it over a fresh roasted yellow bell with habanero and serrano pepper pasta that I got a from a place around the corner. Everything was perfect except when I realized half way through eating it that I forgot to stir in the lentils at the end. Ha! Oh well, extra lentils in the leftovers!
[Dessert]
I snacked on an apple and decided I needed some chocolate and nut butter in my life so I grabbed a dark chocolate Adora disc and topped it with a little coconut cashew butter [apparently I was on a serious chocolate/nut butter kick!] Perfect. No time for pictures, though it might have been the prettiest thing I ate all day 😉
Food for Thought
Do you always try to make your food pretty?
What’s your favorite snack?
Barr & Table 
Your dinner looks unique, delicious, divine & I kind of want a big bite of it 🙂 My favorite snack of lately has been either egg whites or whole eggs mixed w/ feta cheese. Simple, yet satisifying 🙂
I definitely had eggs and ketchup for a snack the other day. My husband thought I was nuts haha.
The creamy melty nut butter is the best part of oatmeal love! Vega One bars have become a staple in our house.
Mmm those bars are so good!
Hahaha love that you forgot to put the lentils in a lentil dish – so something that I would do!! My food never looks pretty… tastes good though 🙂
Turns out it’s delicious with AND without the lentils 😉
The ratatouille looks great, I’m so into mushrooms lately!
Mushrooms are the best. Other than nut butters.
I’m convinced the uglier I let my food get the better it tastes 😉 And yep, can definitely confirm cauli-belly is the worst!
I agree! The ugly food almost always tastes amazing.
I am awful at making my food look pretty. I just usually aim for edible looking.
Haha!
