day 9 – do groceries excite you?

28 Apr

What? No? I must be the only one then… Although I admit, it’s kinda sad to be so excited about grocery shopping. LOL

I literally just got a whole bunch of random vegetables yesterday, so expect random recipes in the next couple of days. :)

  • fresh coleslaw
  • butternut squash soup
  • cashew carrot ginger soup (both were on sale!)
  • radishes
  • green peas
  • bananas
  • carrots (i’m thinking peanut butter carrot fries!)
  • bean sprouts
  • vanilla soy milk (finally!!!)
  • black olives
  • carrot juice (which was collectively finished by myself and fellow yogis before yoga class)
  • eggs
  • ham

The bean sprouts and green peas had me thinking – stir fry of some sort?

How about…

Easy Rice Noodles with Peas and Peanuts

 

The white jelly fish looking things are two servings of rice noodles, floating in hot water. :)

My favorite pasta sauce! When I was in university I had a vegan roommate for a semester. I actually credit her with helping me to start the whole food exploration adventure, as she introduced to me to some weird foods (at least I thought so at the time). That semester I discovered almond butter, plantane chips, and Stevia.

She also avoided sugar, and always bought this tomato sauce, because it was one of the very few on the market that did not add sugar.

All mixed in:

And an easy salad (continuing with the theme of easy eats!):

  • spinach
  • coleslaw
  • cucumbers
  • sesame seeds
  • sesame oil

I think coffee gods have heard about my misfortunes and sent me this:

I must have downed at least a full glass of this, before even putting it into coffee. It is vanilla heaven. I am also ecstatic to report that it mixes with coffee! And stays that way!

Thank you, coffee gods!!!!

Dessert: french vanilla coffee with vanilla soy milk + peanut butter jelly sandwich = happy Kate!
