What I Ate on A Monday!

I've been enjoying starting my day with green salads lately. I make them big, with sunflower seeds and whatever other goodies I may have laying around to make it really substantial. I feel like it sets me up to take care of myself for the whole day. I guess it's like one good choice follows another, or something like that. And with my new obsession with this FYH vegan ranch, I feel like I want to live in a salad. I haven't really been this crazy over something since taking my first bite of Chao cheese!
My salad yesterday was a little more boring than usual. It's just Romaine, and iceberg lettuce with sunflower seeds. I need to pick up some fresh produce. I've also been into blending frozen strawberries (or dragonfruit) with orange juice. It's more than a juice, but not a smoothie either.
I've been trying to get more vitamin c in my diet as we are quickly approaching cootie season. I know that everyone tells us to stay home and take care of ourselves when we're sick, but very few people actually take that advice. Strawberries are very high in vitamin c, and are one of the top anti aging foods. They ward off all kinds of bad things we don't want.
For lunch I had the only canned soup I will ever buy, Amy's no chicken noodle! I don't buy this very often, because it's over priced, canned, blah blah blah. But every now and again it's just what I want. It reminds me of grandparents. Not just mine, all grandparents.
Feeding my inner child!
Later in the day I made a green juice with kale, Romaine, red grapes, apple, and celery. Very zippy. I really like celery in m green juice, it makes it taste really fresh.
I made some Hash Browns for dinner. I have been really craving potatoes for the last few days, and I have no fresh ones, so in a pinch look in your freezer! They are just the Trader Joe's frozen hash browns. Pretty boring stuff. I topped my browns with some Cajun garlic hot sauce, and a side of HP Sauce. If you're like me and LOVE condiments, this is a tasty one. It's brown like A1, but much tangier and tastier.
I had to end the day with something sweet, and so I had a few squares of this Lindt bar. Pretty tasty chocolate.
I think this is the first time I've remembered to take a picture of every single thing I ate! I've done almost what I ate in a day, but this is the first full one! I feel so grown up! I'm like a real blogger or something.
Happy Tuesday!

  1. Well I think your salad sounds great! That's how I tend to make them, too, throw in whatever I have around the house!!!! And it's kind of cool that you and I tend to use hash browns in a similar way, too!

  2. I haven't had hash browns in like a hundred years! Most of the frozen hash browns have really weird ingredients added to them. I will be eating a lot more of these in the future!

    1. I have been working with potato patties lately which are kind of similar I guess. BTW...I left a response for you on my blog in comments :)

    2. I just replied back! I love the potato patties. I think I like the patty style hashbrowns even better than the shredded ones!

  4. I am so serious when I say you would never ever believe it's non dairy ranch. They nailed everything, the taste, consistency, and texture. I don't say this lightly, but it's worth whatever price to get in your life.

  5. What a delicious day! Totally brilliant to blend the strawberries with oj. And hash browns just sound wonderful. The organic vegetarian (actually vegan) canned chili at trader joe's is actually made by amy's- it's really delicious and way cheaper than buying amy's even though they're literally the same product. Great end to the day with that chocolate!

    1. The OJ and strawberries is my cheaper version of Odwallas super c drink! Strawberries and oranges love each other! I will be picking up that chili on my next trip. I love chili over baked potatoes!
