I learned today that the little spoonful of almond butter in my pumpkin oats makes a big difference in me feeling fuller longer! Gotta love healthy fats and protein. 
I was hungry much sooner than usual today.
I learned today that when grocery shopping I must remember that I love vegetables and I need to buy more so I don’t have slim-pickin’s mid-week. I still managed to very creatively combine some of the last produce in the house for my lunch.
- 1 zucchini (cut into “noodles”)
- lots of mushrooms, sliced
- 1 Roma tomato, diced
- olive oil
- white wine
- kosher salt, dried basil, parsley and oregano to flavor
- a pinch of cornstarch to thicken the sauce a touch
Very gourmet for a thrown together lunch, yes?
I have learned it is easy eating vegan. I tell people all the time, but I have to say it again. Being vegan is fun and easy! I’m an easy vegan. I like relying on fresh foods and simple flavors. I don’t think I’ve eaten as many creative and flavorful meals as I have since going vegan.
I have learned that I love supporting my friends to help us all achieve the same goal. On that note:

I did the same thing at the grocery store this week! I figured I’d stock up at the Farmer’s Market this Saturday, but didn’t buy enough to get me through until then
I need to try putting more nut butters in my oats. I’m always afraid of calories. I learned today that I need to eat more on hard days, even if they don’t contain any kind of cardio workout.
That salad looks great!
I think I’ll buy almond butter this weekend so I can add it to my oats, at least. Fats (even if they’re healthy) still scare me a little but I’m slowly making the transition.
I’m the same way about veggies. I love them but always forget to buy enough!
I go through veggies WAY too fast! That dish looks fantastic – how did you cut the zucchini noodles so small?
With a chef’s knife, being verrrry careful of my fingers.
