Happy Saturday!!!
My lovely morning started with this wonderful bowl of breakfast blender cereal (thanks CCV, again) and a hot cup of lemon ginger yogi tea. I put two kids of cereal in the blender to make a cup of it (Uncle Sam’s wheat flakes and Barbara’s Ultima high fiber cereal), a cup of almond vanilla milk, 2 teaspoons vanilla, and a half of a frozen banana. I left out the walnuts this time and instead had a spoonful of almond butter right out of the jar.
After musing through the newspaper and various blogs, I got on my yoga clothes and did a few chores. Then it was off to my wonderful Saturday morning yoga class. I love doing yoga on weekend mornings, a time I don’t get to practice at during the weekday. After yoga I was quite hungry. I had already thought ahead about what I would prepare for lunch. On a toasted Ezekial seasame bun, I spread mustard and vegan mayo, layered red onions, lettuce, and sprouts, and topped it all off with 3 slices of pan-grilled tofu sprayed with a bit of Bragg’s. YUM!!! On the side I had a wee bit of Garden of Eatin’ Multi-grain everything tortilla chips and some salsa verde.
It just wouldn’t be right to not have a wee bit of dessert too!!! I couldn’t decide between dairy-free ice cream or vegan pudding, so I put both right in the bowl with a couple of Mi-Del vanilla snaps. My belly is so happy right about now!
I hope you have yourself a VERY lovely Saturday!!!
Saturday night we got dinner out at Fadi’s Mediterranean Grill. It is an awesome place to eat for vegans, vegetarians, and the others. heehee They offer a buffet of hummus dips, an array of salads and vegetables, as well as freshly made pita breads. You can also get made-to-order falafel with tahini sauce. Yum! I LOVE the portion sizes, which insure I always have enough to take home for leftovers. In fact, I actually ate my leftovers this time for breakfast on Sunday morning. It was fabulous! The first plate on the left (the massive one) is mine. Then is a picture of falafel that Eric order, and that he so sweetly shared with me. Lastly, Eric’s plate. I definitely recommend Fadi’s if you are in Dallas or Houston (I don’t think they are in any other cities).
Breakfast Time
I absolutely adore the day’s first meal, but I often rotate the same foods. Here are things I frequently eat in the morning. First picture is of Banana Bread Blender Cereal from CCV’s blog. I first started making this last spring when Katie first posted this recipe on her blog and have been a fan of it ever since. I’ve told co-workers who now eat it too!

Steel cut oatmeal with soymilk and dried prunes. I love prunes!! (I know I’m weird. Thank you.)

More waffles!! I have waffles at least two times a week. They make me happy, the ultimate comfort food. I made one with almond butter and jelly, and one with almond butter and agave nectar. YUM!

Whole wheat flakes and flaxseed Uncle Sam cereal with fresh blueberries (on sale at Whole Foods) and soymilk. This wins my favorite breakfast of the week award. The blueberries were perfectly ripe and juicy.
