Today Ryan and I went to Santa Monica for the day, and they were having an apple music festival and it was nuts! Hippie, earth-conscious people EVERYWHERE! It was awesome!
Breakfast- we drank a green smoothie in the car on the way there and I cut up some fruit to eat once we got there (it was only a 40 minute drive)
Snack- We went to Wild Oats so I could get a few things for my Memphis trip this weekend and I got a vegan poppy seed cookie to eat as we shopped
Lunch- EUPHORIA LOVES RAWVOLUTION!! Yes, we finally went to rawvolution- the vegan, raw restaurant in Santa Monica. I was so giddy and ordered the italiano pizza, creamy taco salad, marinated greens salad and had some of Ryan mushroom burger. We drank goji berry lemonade which was wonderful and a green juice that I HATED, it had cucumbers in it and was SO gross, LOL! Dessert was a chocolate cookie dough ball and an apple raisin cookie.
Dinner-no dinner, out lunch was HUGE
Dessert- air popped popcorn with some olive oil spray and salt. About 1 hour I got hungry (probably because i skipped dinner) and had some cinnamon raisin ezekiel toast with my new raw walnut butter that I got at Rawvolution. YUM!
Workout- walking around all day for a good 6 hours

Saturday- 4/19/2008
Breakfast- a few bites of oatmeal waffles that I made Ryan, we ran out of oats and I couldn't make enough for both of us so I took one for the team and let him have them (only because he went on a 30 mile bike ride this morning), grapefruit, a banana and some more spinach and kale chips, LOL (they're addicting)
Lunch- I got Ryan vegetarian teriyaki chicken from Lassens which is a local health/grocery store that has a lil cafe in it and I munched on that for lunch. It was a busy day so I didn't eat much more.
Dinner- I made a mushroom and carmelized onion burger. The recipe was for grilled mushrooms from Vegan With A Vengeance in a ciabatta roll with spinach, carmelized onions, avocado, tomatoes and Annies goddess dressing.
Dessert- Almost an entire bag of sea salt and vinegar kettle chips

Breakfast- bran muffin from Trader Joes with a cup of fresh squeezed OJ
Lunch- a bunch of random stuff, LOL- asparagus and brocolli baked in the oven at 400 degrees for 10 minutes, a sweet potato and kale and avocado salad
Snack- an orange and yummy oatmeal raisin cookies that Shandon made
Dinner- Ryan and I went to Tipps Thai...recommended by a friend and we weren't too impressed. I don't really care for thai food and I don't like tofu (wierd right, a vegan who doesn't like thai or tofu, LOL). But i had mushrooms, onions, pineapple, tomatoes and tofu in a sweet and sour sauce with brown rice. It was alright, LOL!
Dessert- veggie booty spinach and kale chips, so good!

Today is my LONG day at school! 9am-8:50pm and it takes an hour to get to my school so I'm gone usually about 14 hrs total!!! So my meals were quick and easy!
Breakfast- bowl of oatmeal with a cinnamon mixed in, topped with strawberries and a sliced banana, and santa cruz organic juice on the car ride
Lunch- a huge salad from my schools salad bar- spinach, brocolli, kidney beans, sunflower seeds, tomatoes, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and pepper.
Snack- A PURE bar, saw them at whole foods and thought it looked pretty good, I only bought 1 and am totally regretting it...and as much as I hate to be a trader to Larabars, these are better!! Not only are they raw, and have only a few ingredients, they are organic too!! http://www.thepurebar.com/
Dinner- By the time I got home I was dead tired and didn't want to make anything so I drank salad for dinner, LOL JK. I made a smoothie with 2 apples, 1 orange, 1 lemon, 3 leaves kale, 1 cup strawberries, 1 cup wild blueberries, 1/2 an avocado and some water! SO GOOD!! Like the best I've made so far!
Dessert- a piece of endangered species chocolate bar and a piece of ezekiel sesame toast with peanut butter (while watching Juno- great movie!!)
Workout- zip, zero, nada...I could barely walk on my injured toe today. Going to the DOctor tommorow :)

So I've gotten a little bad with posting "dessert" recipes and not so many "healthy" recipes...mostly because I've been eating alot of dessert recipes, LOL! But I have started eating healthier, exercising more frequently and basically setting out a plan for the week. So I'm going to post what I eat each day along with recipes, as well as my workout for the day! Hopefully I can motivate you to join me! I don't have pictures for all the meals today but here it is;
Monday- 4/14/2008
Breakfast- bowl of oatmeal topped with a banana and strawberries and half a grapefruit.
Snack- larabar, raw cashews
Lunch- Ezekiel tortilla crisped up in the oven filled with brown rice, pinto beans, spinach, broccoli, balsamic vinegar dressing, tomatoes and avocado
Snack- an orange
Dinner- Roasted red pepper spaghetti with bean balls (recipe from veganomicon), kale and avocado salad, and santa cruz organic sparkling root beer.
Dessert- piece of endagered species cocoa-mint chocolate bar
Workout- I fell down a hill, yes you can laugh, hiking this past weekend and am scratched up pretty bad, but the worst part is I jammed my toe and now its all swollen and black and blue. I'm a little scared it might fall off (TMI, I know) but that means its hurts to walk, BADLY, so I just did arms at the gym today :)
