Cereality
I imagined myself waking up at 8 and eating a big bowl of oatmeal but in reality I woke up at 9 (yes, that’s ten hours of sleep!) and just wanted some simple cereal.
Did you know there’s actually a restaurant called Cereality where you can choose from a variety of cereals and toppings? Oh, and there’s some pretty good looking oatmeal concoctions too!
Unfortunately Nature’s Path Crunchy Vanilla Sunrise is not on the list of available cereals.
Cereal + almond milk + small banana + cinnamon granola.
Then I got to work on lunch for later.
Hmmm what do I have on hand? Chickpeas, tomatoes, spinach, pitas, curry. Say no more, curried chickpea pita here I come!
Cooked 1/2 cup of chickpeas in some olive oil and curry then tossed in some plum tomatoes towards the end.
Then stuffed it all in a pita with some spinach. The filling proceeded to fall out as I tried to photograph it.
Carrots and hummus on the side.
And I bought a Kombucha at Whole Foods, where we ate lunch. This drink was such a pain, it would NOT stop fizzing everytime I tried to open it.
What the heck is elderberry?
Also had a couple bites of the sister’s oatmeal raisin cookie and it was stellar!!
Came home and for some odd reason was already starving — what the heck? But my body wanted food so I fed it.
Apple, cinnamon peanut butter and multiseed crackers — these did not hit the spot today 😦
I indulged in a little reading then decided it was wayyy to nice outside to pass up a chance to get some fresh air so I took a leisurely (and long!!) walk through the neighborhood. Not sure how far I went but I was gone for an hour and a half and it was pretty chilly by the time I finished up.
Tofu was on tap for dinner.
Caitlin’s Perfect Baked Tofu is my go to tofu recipe.
With roasted veggies (slow + low sweet potatoes and brussel sprouts in olive oil and salt + pepper).
I think I could have this simple dinner every week and be happy!
Ended the night with trivia and hopefully I’m out on a long run as you read this.
Ciao!
OOOO Tofu LOVE!!! This looks like the easiest/tastiest way to eat tofu ever, can’t wait to try it out 🙂

You totally just ate my comfort meal.
Those are some of my favorite dinner components too! I adore roasted brussels sprouts!
