Hello Darlings,
I call myself a ‘flexitarian’ that means that I eat a mostly
plant-based diet but throw meat into the mix just not every day. I thought it
might be fun to share a typical no-fuss Meatless Monday to show that having a
veggie day isn’t difficult, even if you are feeling lazy (I most definitely
was!) P.S. Sorry for the picture quality-they are mostly iPhone shots!
I started out my day with my usual hot water/lemon/apple
cider vinegar drink followed by a cup of tea. And then, to completely
counteract any warmth I built up after two hot drinks, I had a smoothie made of
organic frozen blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries, Silk Almond Milk,
Greek yogurt, and fresh baby spinach leaves.
For lunch I had the leftovers from my Shaved Asparagus Salad recipe I posted on Monday. (Total side note: asparagus is one of those words that for some reason I can never spell correctly on the first try. Frustrating.) The salad is just as good the next day- I love raw veggies!

For dinner I was in a hurry so I popped some sprouted Ezekiel
bread and sharp cheddar in the toaster oven. I let that melt, topped it with
fresh baby spinach and homemade pickles- you can’t go wrong with homemade
pickles, to make a “I swear I’m a grownup” sandwich. Add a couple of
clementines on the side and you have a quick and delicious meal on the go.
I am a member of Klout which is essentially a website that
measures how influential you are on social media. When you get a high enough
score (aka you live on the internet like a blogger does!) you can qualify for
‘perks’ which is free stuff sent your way. This time around I got a pair of
tickets to a pre-screening of the Grudge Match movie, which, truth be told,
looked ridiculous but ended up being quite silly. And you can’t go to a movie
theater without eating a ginormous bag of popcorn!
When I came back from the movie, before I settled into bed I
continued to pick at my ever-so-delicious Ikea gingerbread house that I made during last week's WIAW. Not a bad way
to end the night!
