I have a new post up on Chic Vegan ! We all know how much I love Nature Mart and the Santa Monica Co-Op, and now everyone else does, too. I wrote an article all about LA's best indie grocery stores and co-ops. Check it out ! I also have a fun new video to watch! I narrated this funny short video all in French. It's very silly! Les Profils Francais from Sean Cruser on Vimeo . I spent my whole day just hanging out with my family. No baby pictures yet, but I'm on it. I did get a good workout this morning, though! Exercise: 40 minutes elliptical Strength/weights: quads, triceps, abs (ab lounge!), obliques, chest stretching Food Diary: Breakfast: Cereal - Cracklin' Oat Bran, Multi-Grain Cheerios, and Special K with almond milk and blueberries Lunch: Broccoli with Amy's Lentil Vegetable soup Dinner: Amy's Bistro Burger, more broccoli and soup Snack: Orange

Breakfast: Oatmeal w/ blueberries, almond milk, and cinnamon 10 Cherries Lunch: Nectarine 1/2 can Amy's Tuscan Bean and Rice soup -- I talked about this before and erroneously called it Spanish Bean and Rice. It's a good and quite hearty soup. Dinner: Chipotle Burrito Bol with black beans (no rice), fajita veggies, pico de gallo, a little corn salsa, and lots of lettuce. For some reason, whenever I ask for lots of lettuce at Chipotle they always give me exactly the same amount of lettuce as normal. So then I always have to ask again, and sometimes two more times until they will actually give me a satisfactory amount of lettuce. Why is this? Lettuce is certainly one of the cheapest ingredients they serve! I want lettuce!

Today I ate: Black beans and quinoa Some grapes and cherries 1 Amy's Bistro burger A couple bites of rice Broccoli Spinach and strawberry salad 1/2 banana I also was looking through the pictures on my phone and realized I had one from a couple weeks ago that I forgot to post. When I was feeling really sick and not really craving vegetables, I bought a bag of frozen Rice Biryani from Trader Joe's with rice, veggies, and spices. A very simple and healthy ingredient list. Here's the picture:

Oatmeal with blueberries Spinach and green beans with hummus 3 small red potatoes 1/2 can No Salt Added Mushroom and Barley soup 1 Amy's Bistro Burger 1 banana The no salt added soup was a little bland/icky so (I'm sorry!) I added a little tamari to make it taste better. A little garlic powder and kaboom! It was tasty. The Amy's Bistro Burger was a first for me and I have to say, I really like it. The first ingredient is mushrooms, and it has a nice mushroomy taste. Besides that it has brown rice, many vegetables, and tofu, and that's it. No isolated soy protein or anything crazy, and it's gluten-free. I recommend it!
