What I Ate Plus Cats!

I started my day yesterday with this green juice. It had baby kale, orange, carrot and ginger. Really tasty.

This is the Sumo tangerine I've been using. They usually have a bump on top but this one of course doesn't. They're a little bigger an bumpier than a regular tangerine. They're seedless and very sweet. My juice had a lot of baby kale and only one orange and it was still very sweet.

I had this creamy smoothie a little later. This had baby kale, half an avocado, frozen mango, banana and maca powder. This was so smooth and creamy from the mango and avocado.

I don't often buy things at work, but this cashew butter was on a super clearance sale because it's near the expiration date. I know that I don't like almond butter at all, but I've never had cashew butter because it is expensive! Unfortunately for me I love cashew butter! This is probably the only time I'll ever have it because it is freaking expensive, even at Trader Joe's! I wanted to make something with it, so I decided to make cold sesame noodles using cashew butter instead of peanut butter or tahini.

I used brown rice spaghetti for the noodles, and I threw in some frozen edamame during the last few minutes of cooking. For other veggies I used shredded cabbage and carrot. I also baked some tofu and added that to the mix. For the cashew sauce I just used cashew butter, tamari, hoisin, sriracha, crushed red pepper and a little sesame oil. I thinned it out with a little of the pasta water. These were so delicious!! I remember getting cold sesame noodles at a few different take out places and always being kind of disappointed, These were much better!

It's fuzzy because I had to get the picture before Kanye stopped, but here she is red pawed tearing up my couch! Afro has definitely done the most damage, but they all tear it up!

And here's Joan who is less than thrilled with this picture. She was in one of her favorite hiding spots in the corner of the couch under the blanket. Sorry to bug Joan!
