Hi guys!\u00a0 I got some things done today but not nearly as much as I would have liked!\u00a0 Mid-afternoon, Scott convinced me to have some coffee.\u00a0 It didn’t take much to persuade me. ;)\u00a0 I had been thinking about coffee for some time and I was a bit munchy.<\/p>\n

\"coffee

coffee break <\/p><\/div>\n

A cup of decaf otherwise my stomach would have been all kinds of upset with me for the extra caffeine.<\/p>\n

\"trail

trail mix <\/p><\/div>\n

My snack was some bear naked trail mix that had raisins, cashews, and mango.\u00a0 I added some extra raisins. :D<\/p>\n

Dinner tonight was vegtastic!\u00a0 I am totally predictable when it comes to veggie dishes.\u00a0 When I’m really craving a good bit of vegetables I’ll either make soup, chili, tacos, or something along those lines.\u00a0 Something that allows me to jam pack the veggies and get the most per bite.\u00a0 Today was a stew loaded down with veggies.<\/p>\n

\"veggie

veggie stew <\/p><\/div>\n

\"carb

carb love <\/p><\/div>\n

And on the side some quick and dirty garlic bread made with whole grain bread. By quick and dirty, I mean I top the bread with some butter, sprinkle of garlic powder and Italian seasoning and toast.\u00a0 Very tasty!<\/p>\n

Scott’s quick and dirty garlic bread involved ciabatta which I had two bites of, you should be able to see evidence of that.\u00a0 It was so much tastier!\u00a0 I totally think a white bread makes a better garlic bread.\u00a0 Maybe I just haven’t found the perfect whole grain bread yet?<\/p>\n

\"dinner

dinner time <\/p><\/div>\n

The veggie stew was topped with a bit of grated parm.\u00a0 The veggies were as follows:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Onion<\/li>\n
  • Carrot<\/li>\n
  • Green pepper<\/li>\n
  • Celery<\/li>\n
  • Zucchini<\/li>\n
  • Jalapeno<\/li>\n
  • Corn<\/li>\n
  • Peas<\/li>\n
  • Green beans<\/li>\n
  • Broccoli<\/li>\n
  • Kidney beans (for protein and texture)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    In a tomato based sauce.\u00a0 Very hardy and yummy!<\/p>\n

    Looking for veggie inspiration<\/strong><\/p>\n

    As I mentioned, this is usually my go-to tactic to get some decent veg.\u00a0 But I would like to expand a little bit.\u00a0 That’s part of the reason I bought the two new vegan cookbooks, to help me find different ways to prepare and consume veggies.\u00a0 Stews and such are great but clearly there is more to life!\u00a0 Any veggie sites or books you would recommend?<\/p>\n
