Busy Sunday…back to work manana
New box of cereal and lemon ginger tea…simple, quick, and yum!
Lunch ended up being brunch really because it was Eric’s first meal (he slept in), and I wanted to make him french toast. This is called Nutty French Toast from The McDougall Quick & Easy Cookbook. I also ate some leftover Speedy International Stew from last night.
Dinner was Black Bean Falafels and Summer Salad. I got this recipe from the August flyer I picked up at New Leaf. If you click on the link, you can find the flyer on the main page of their website in the right column. The salad was AWESOME. There was a lot left over too, which will be great to eat on for lunch. The black bean falafels were so easy and pretty tasty. They were a little bland for my liking, so if I make it again, I would add more seasonings than listed on the original recipe.
New Leaf
New Leaf is a new, local grocery store right by my in-laws. It’s very similar to Whole Foods. (Although I think better in my first experience there…at least for a vegan.) Don’t get me wrong, I love Whole Foods, I mean that’s all I have in Texas. New Leaf was a wonderful mecca of vegan delights though. They carried brands I’ve only read about before like Nana’s cookies, and they had an amazing ready-made foods section, that included a sandwich bar. This is a picture of Eric’s sandwich actually, as I devoured mine before taking a pic. Mine was the same except with multi-grain bread. He loves sourdough. On it was a Sunshine burger, avocado, pickles, mustard, lettuce, tomato, red onions, and sprouts. I told Granny she should go there every day for lunch to get a sandwich! It was only $5.50 too, which I thought was an excellent price for that caliber of a sandwich.
Later this day, we were on our way back to Texas. At New Leaf, I picked up a couple of things to eat on the plane. This was a tasty egg-salad like wrap. It is made by Sweet Earth. Eric thought he would be cute and pretend a little hand monster was eating it I guess. ha
