A pasta-ful day

Breakfast: toast with almond butter, banana, iced tea with almond milk

After breakfast Lynn came over to the westside and we went on a walk.

Even though I had an apple before we set out, by the time we got home I was starving.  I had some leftover mac ‘n cheese, which was a little set in it’s way, until I added some plain almond milk.

That  helped transform it into the ooey gooey cheesy macaroni that vegans dream of.

In truth, it reminded me a LOT of The Veggie Grill’s mac ‘n cheese, which makes sense since they use quinoa pasta and Daiya too. 

After lunch I had a few errands to run.  I didn’t get back home until 5 pm.  I was going to do some weight work, but I kinda skipped out on it once I realized we were having manicotti for dinner.  I got to work on that instead.

Vegan pasta twice in one day?!?!  Lucky me.  Recipe to come.

Dessert was more mocha almond fudge ice cream.

    Oh, I didn’t know that you and Lynn are friends. Wow, I read both of your blogs religiously. Lynn’s blog is like my fantasy food world! I love seeing all the great food that she eats, especially the desserts. Alas, I have SIBO, so I am on a super super strict low carb, FODMAP diet. That’s how I initially found your blog when I was doing research on it. Also, I bought your FODMAP cookbook; it’s been really helpful, and I find that I’m finally making some improvement in my health. Thanks again for all you do! You’ve given me so much hope.

    P.S. I hope that Lynn’s father’s condition improves.
