I’m not sure what my deal was all weekend – but I never really WANTED breakfast. 

I’d wake up, do my usual wandering around, computer checking, random cleaning up, but breakfast never happened.   I think maybe because my oatmeal grossed me out so much all week, but who knows?!

Early lunch definitely made up for any meals I skipped!

Everything Bagel Sandwich

• TJ’s Everything Bagel (CLEARLY marked vegan!)
• TJ’s Tuscan White Bean Hummus (CLEARLY marked vegan!)
• Cucumbers, Tomatoes, Pickles, Onions
• Tofutti “Better than Cream Cheese” (with a dry packet of “garden vegetable seasoning” mixed in to make "Garden Veggie Better than Cream Cheese”)

I could eat this sandwich every day, and I’d NEVER miss meat or cheese!

A.MAY.ZING. (insanely messy, but amazing!)

All of my afternoon snacks were not pictured because I felt THAT ravenous every time I realized I was hungry   Like 0 to 60. And I know when I’m just thirsty.  Not sure what the deal is – but this week I’m REALLY going to try and reign this hunger, and really make sure it’s not just all in my head!

For dinner – my computer & I got to work, making Vegan Pad Thai!

I googled roughly 7 different recipes, and then just kind of ran with it on my own.

The most important ingredient?!  The Pad Thai noodles, OF COURSE!

Step 1: instead of boiling water and cooking the noodles like I traditionally would, the package instructed me to soak the noodles in cold water for 30 minutes.  WHA-HUH?!?

Weird, for sure, but I do as I’m told!

While the noodles were cooking (??) – I got all my veggies going on the stove:

Veggies:

• roughly chopped onion
• roughly chopped peppers
• shredded carrots
• garlic (not necessarily a veggie, but it was in there)

Sauce (whisked together in a separate bowl & then dumped in):

• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• lime juice (I had two limes, but more would have been even better!)
• 2 TBSP peanut butter
• 2 TBSP Frank’s
• multiple dashes of rice vinegar (as needed)
• multiple dashes of seasame oil (as needed)

After the sauce/veggie mixture is combined – add in strained noodles and let sauce thicken for 5-10 minutes:

You could VERY EASILY add some tofu to “beef” (hehe, beef.) the dish up, but you’ll need to make sure you don’t BURN IT, like I did. 

Finished product – topped with dried chives:

This was VERY GOOD, but definitely dry, I didn’t have enough sauce!  I’m positive the issue was because I had more noodles than I realized, but by then, it was too late!   Next time – MORE SAUCE!

If you get a chance – EO products is having a totally awesome WAREHOUSE SALE!!!!
