You may notice something different about the start to my day…no coffee?!? Kyle and I were trying hard to stomach the rest of the bag of our most recent Starbucks blend (extra bold Gold Coast)…but there is a time and place for being green. And suffering through bad coffee is NOT a compromise I’m willing to make. We got this bag a few days ago, and neither of us have been finishing our AM java since, so what’s the point? Instead of feeling guilty over wasted grounds, I opted for a warm cup of tea instead.
With a dollop of silk, just for morning consistency.
Without coffee to give me a good kick in the arse, I made some oats (Bob’s Red Mill) and added a heaping spoon of IM Healthy soynut love. NOM!! Warm. Silky. Sweet. Salty. Nutty. Heavenly.
I snacked on figs + carob covered raisins while reading.
Then for lunch I had a recent fave.
GN veggie burger on an english muffin with avocado and greek yogurt. Massive burger much? The muffin looks like a hat on top.
A-maz-ING. Plus the obligatory dried fruit platter.
And a papaya spear on my way out the door.
I had an ACLS recertification course (ugh) so I decided to take my camera and snap photos on the way there.
Not too shabby, right? Anyways, now that you’ve seen my hood, back to my eats.
By the time I got out of that damn class it was already 8:45 so there was no time to mess around. My stomach wanted food, like yesterday, so I stopped at WF for some hot bar action.
(picture this x 5)
Plate 1: baked tofu, soba noodles, edamame salad
Plate 2: more of the above plus seitan
Dessert: 3 flattened coconut date rolls and an extremely generous portion of carob raisins
**to answer a few Q’s I’ve been getting…when I make seitan, the brand I use is West Soy’s traditionally seasoned seitan (in a blue box). It’s easy peasy, guys, TRY it!!

Lovin’ that fat burger and WF goodies!!
Yeah, I’m afraid I’m not green enough to still still drink/eat something I don’t like just so as not to waste it :s
Lovin’ the looks of that veggie burger … it looks so GOOD on those wonderful Ezekiel enlgish muffins!
Hope you Wednesday is GREAT!
OH wow, can I have that burger? YUM!
Yay – thanks for answering out seitan question! I’m going to pick some up when I’m in Dallas
Yes, that muffin does look like a hat – a top hat really. I was expecting it to have a little cane and dance a jig. God, I’m a nerd.
Lovin the NY pictures! That burger looks great! So big and fat!! Now I need to go to whole foods too! Major craving after seeing your salad bar plate!

I’m kinda dying with the dried fruit. I’ve banned it from my house and I think I’m about to break down thanks to you.
Nice hood. Incredible. God, I really live in the country.
That burger is large and in charge – love it! Thanks for the NY pictures, it’s one of my many places that I want to travel to!
Oh coffee – when it’s good, it’s good and when it’s bad, it’s REALLY bad!
Holy Vegetable. That Burger Looks Freakin’ Incredible, I Am Sure They Are Native To NYC?
