pumpkin  spread
vegan cream cheese
seasoning

A BETTER ME

Today was the first time since i started this that i truly realised how great i was feeling when i sat down with Canon at 1pm  in the afternoon and read him a story .... i know what your thinking whats so strange about that ,But  if you really knew me you would know that i never ever sit down and just do nothing I'm always so hyper that i  start stuff up just to make a mess. Like i start a new project even though i have 3 or 4 going on already , so for me this was a happy day to sit with my baby boy in the middle of the afternoon and just chill with our apples on the couch , no TV  just me my baby boy and books !

  1 breakfast was wheatbix ( wholewheat )
vegan butter
super fruits strawberry jam ( no sugar )
apple
 green tea 20 oz ( using my old coffee wawa mug , feels like im drinking my coffee)

lunch was hummus  with whole wheat crackers  ( no sugar  no salt )
2 slices of my rice bread ( made with fresh juice no dairy gluten free)
vegan cream cheese
spinch
fig jam !! (YUM)

this sandwich was salty yet sweet and really filling

DINNER
 goin to the markets to get veg and fruit , they have this whole wheat flat bread vendor who makes vegan spreads to put on them I'm going to get one of those ( Lebanese style )_

Haven't blogged for weeks

So everyone who has been following me i have been super busy , great friends in my life that keep me silly and calm . my new lifestyle change is great and I'm loving exploring new food

my yummy whole Oates with banana and strawberry's and maple syrup yummmmmmmmmmmo!

this is a new thing i tried

polenta ( a bit like corn / potato's all mixed up to make a solid mass)

broccoli

soft tofu

and a vegan pix mix curry package ( from a whole foods , it was like $ 3 )

mushrooms

cauliflower

so good ! and used it in  whole wheat wrap  the next day to eat on the fly . while i run errands !

leeks

potato's

cilantro

 black truffle oil  $5.99( tj maxx food section) try those places first then go to grocery)

 roasted them in the oven  till crispy and then poured oil over the top and cilantro

any left overs use for breakfast with some silken tofu ( great substitute for egg white )
