Some recent eats around MyVeryFirstKitchen, and for lack of a better theme to tie everything together, we will go with PROTEIN POWER snacks/meals
1. Baked tofu + green beans
(extra firm tofu, pressed with paper towels & baked for 20 minutes with seseme oil + bragg’s liquid aminos + spices, flipped half way through, at 425)
2. Smoked salmon chunk + carrots + peanut and pumpkin butter + brussels sprouts and parsley from the garden
3. Spicy Black Beans from scratch (these have such an amazing texture compared to canned beans. Plus, NO SODIUM!)
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!
4. Snack Plate: Celery + almond butter + raisins, pumpkin and cinnamon
5. Tortilla Pizza + Veggies + Cheese
(high protein La Tortilla Factory tortilla’s or Flat Out Wraps)
6. Dessert lately has been alot of Greek yogurt + toppings:
Raspberries + dark chocolate chips + pom seeds + crushed Newman’s o cookie
Random eats but good ones, especially the new addition of yogurt to my dessert menu (18 grams protein/serving)
*some snacks/meals that don’t exactly follow my protein theme of the day*
Brussels Sprouts + Shallots (before)
After:
These were awesome! I have never pan “fried” brussels sprouts before, I always roast them in oil + maple syrup
Lots of veggie salads + Annie’s salad dressing (the best!)
ORGANIC DARK CHOCOLATE
Sorry for the overload of eats!
