Sparkling Winners

by eatingbirdfood on June 5, 2009

I want to share my eats from yesterday with you first, but if all you really care about is who one the giveaway… just scroll down. I came home for lunch yesterday and made a quick Ezekiel sandwich with 1/4 of an avocado, 2 slices of tomato, edamame hummus, spinach leaves, and english cucumbers.

I also had some fresh pineapple on the side…. perfect lunch, except the toasted bread and pineapple combined kind of cut my mouth up a little bit. Hate that!!!

I didn’t have an afternoon snack and by the time I got home I was ravenous. I decided to use up some frozen veggies- sweet corn and edamame and make a super delicious spinach salad. For the dressing I searched through the Peta’s Vegan Cookbook and decided to make the “Bas-Ass” Balsamic Vinaigrette. It was super easy to make and tasted pretty darn good.

I also had a Nakey Quorn Cutlet with some ketchup.

These protein powerhouses remind me of a bird’s cuddle bone, which I’m not going to lie kind of freaks me out a little bit, but they taste delicious and have less than 100 calories so I think I’ll just get over it.

AND FINALLY, the Sparkling Essence giveaway closed last night at 12:00, I used a random number generator to choose the 3 winners.

And the winners are….

Carly, Lori, and Hope

Congrats to all three of you, please send me an email with your contact information and your case of water will be on it’s way, courtesy of R.W. KNUDSEN. I hope you enjoy the H20 as much as I have!

Rainy Night

by eatingbirdfood on September 5, 2008

I don’t know what got into me this morning but I slept until almost 10 AM. I’m usually an early riser so it was a surprise to wake up and see the clock at 10. I decided to have a bowl of puffed wheat cereal with half of a banana mixed in. I used the other half to make a little fruit plate- bananas with dots of peanut butter and some pineapple.

I went to the gym, ran by target, and went to the local health food store Ellwood Thompson’s because I was craving more of their Tempeh mock-chicken salad. I had a few in store samples while I was there – mainly of bread. I got home and served my tempeh on top of some spinach and tomatoes. I was starving by this point because it was already 2 PM -it was so tasty.

Oh and I decided to make homemade pumpkin pie yogurt. I stirred some cinnamon and pumpkin puree into the vanilla yogurt with a little granola sprinkled in.

Then I had a handful of chocolate chips to satisfy my sweet tooth.

Around 5:30 I ate a few bites of whole wheat sourdough and a few bites of quinoa while Isaac was napping. When he woke we decided to walk to a nearby wine tasting (all wines from Italy) and eat at Ginger Thai Taste. It was a rainy walk, but worth it, the food came so quickly and was so good. I love Thai! I ordered fresh shrimp spring rolls and had a bite of Isaac’s basil tofu.

I think we are going to stay in and watch a movie. No better way to spend a rainy night.

Back to my Oats

September 4, 2008

I got some bananas yesterday at WFs so I ready for some banana oat this morning. I had a spoonful of pb on the side, added some cranberry granola, and then sprinkled, actually it looks more like I poured, some flax on top. Oh well, a little flax didn’t hurt anyone. A mid-morning snack consisted [...]
