I know Cinco de Mayo is technically over given that right
now it’s one a.m. on May 6th but yesterday I woke up late so
technically I have only been up 12 hours. I promised myself I would start
blogging more. Lately I have been following a lot of different bloggers out
there who talk about food and exercise. The common theme is that it helped them
lose weight. Everyone can relate to that need to change something about
themselves. I didn’t get a chance to exercise today because I slept in too
late. I did however, eat well.
I started my day with oatmeal sweetened with agave nectar
and a side of orange slices. I made a cup of the mocha java coffee from Whole
Foods. When I bought it I was skeptical
because I thought it would be too sweet, but it actually had no sweetness at
all. It’s a medium roast so it was lacking the kick of a dark roast but it has
a smooth taste.
For lunch I reheated pizza I made last night and paired it
with a side of green beans and a cup of unsweetened Earth Balance Soymilk. I’ve
tried a lot of different kinds of soymilk and I think this one is the best. It is fortified with vitamin D and Calcium
and has more protein in it than any other kind of alternative milk. The pizza
tasted just as good as it did last night, but then again pizza is the ultimate
leftover food. I snacked on a handful of unsalted, roasted almonds while I
perused the blogosphere.
My sister and I did our Saturday food shopping kind of late
today because she was working. We always start off at Whole Foods then end up at
Market Basket. If it wasn’t so expensive we would do all of our shopping at Whole
Foods. We celebrated Cinco de Mayo with Taco Bowls, a side of refried beans,
and beer!
I make my taco bowl with sautéed yellow pepper, shallot,
garlic, and tomatillo. I top it with crushed blue corn tortilla taco shells and
mozzarella cheese from Trader Joes. I mix balsamic vinegar with the refried
beans to make the flavors pop and it gives it a creamy texture. Peak Organic
beer came out with their summer ale and it was a refreshing floral pairing to
the vegetables in my taco bowl. I ended the evening with Trader Joe’s Fruity O’s cereal
for a snack.
Well, off to bed so I can keep some semblance of a sleep
schedule.
