			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some recent eats around MyVeryFirstKitchen, and for lack of a better theme to tie everything together, we will go with <strong>PROTEIN POWER snacks/meals</strong></p>
<p><strong>1. Baked tofu + green beans</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/42865111@N05/4053948012/" title="DSC01465 by Daradaltas, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2673/4053948012_7226592c75.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="DSC01465" /></a></p>
<p>(extra firm tofu, pressed with paper towels &#038; baked for 20 minutes with seseme oil + bragg&#8217;s liquid aminos + spices, flipped half way through, at 425)</p>
<p><strong>2. Smoked salmon chunk + carrots + peanut and pumpkin butter + brussels sprouts</strong> and <strong>parsley</strong> from the garden</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/42865111@N05/4053211393/" title="DSC01479 by Daradaltas, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2562/4053211393_a874c3c5f2.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="DSC01479" /></a></p>
<p><strong>3. Spicy Black Beans from scratch</strong> (these have such an amazing texture compared to canned beans. Plus, <strong>NO SODIUM</strong>!) </p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/42865111@N05/4053958290/" title="DSC01491 by Daradaltas, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2534/4053958290_99c0d35fe5.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="DSC01491" /></a></p>
<p>Instructions: Soak beans overnight (or in the morning before you go to work/school) with double/triple the water. After 8-12 hours, rinse beans thoroughly. Add fresh water (double the amount) to your pot/pan and with the rinsed beans and slowly bring the water to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 1-2 hours, or until your beans are the consistency you want and the water is absorbed. Easy!</p>
<p><strong>4. Snack Plate: Celery +</strong> <strong>almond butter</strong> + <strong>raisins</strong>, <strong>pumpkin </strong>and <strong>cinnamon</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/42865111@N05/4053957842/" title="DSC01490 by Daradaltas, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2765/4053957842_e0c70aaffe.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="DSC01490" /></a></p>
<p><strong>5. Tortilla Pizza + Veggies + Cheese </strong><br />
(high protein La Tortilla Factory tortilla&#8217;s or Flat Out Wraps)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/42865111@N05/3984353819/" title="DSC01338 by Daradaltas, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2452/3984353819_9e686595a4.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="DSC01338" /></a></p>
<p><strong>6. Dessert </strong>lately has been alot of <strong>Greek yogurt</strong> + toppings:<br />
<strong>Raspberries </strong>+ dark <strong>chocolate chips</strong> + <strong>pom seeds</strong> + crushed <strong>Newman&#8217;s o cookie</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/42865111@N05/4053956178/" title="DSC01486 by Daradaltas, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3507/4053956178_da4a10cf04.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="DSC01486" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/42865111@N05/4053214991/" title="DSC01488 by Daradaltas, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2534/4053214991_3c2145ec17.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="DSC01488" /></a></p>
<p>Random eats but good ones, especially the new addition of yogurt to my dessert menu (18 grams protein/serving) </p>
<p>*some snacks/meals that don&#8217;t exactly follow my protein theme of the day*</p>
<p><strong> Brussels Sprouts + Shallots</strong> (before)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/42865111@N05/4053209673/" title="DSC01475 by Daradaltas, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3500/4053209673_b55dbc2aa2.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="DSC01475" /></a></p>
<p>After:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/42865111@N05/4053210435/" title="DSC01477 by Daradaltas, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2620/4053210435_b026d55a69.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="DSC01477" /></a></p>
<p>These were awesome! I have never pan &#8220;fried&#8221; brussels sprouts before, I always roast them in oil + maple syrup</p>
<p><strong>Lots of veggie salads + Annie&#8217;s salad dressing (the best!)</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/42865111@N05/4053212463/" title="DSC01482 by Daradaltas, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2689/4053212463_f6ab8340fd.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="DSC01482" /></a></p>
<p><strong>ORGANIC DARK CHOCOLATE</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/42865111@N05/3991646430/" title="chocolate2 by Daradaltas, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2581/3991646430_2461b27723.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="chocolate2" /></a></p>
<p>Sorry for the overload of eats! </p>
