Mango smoothie

Breakfast - Smoothie made from frozen mango, rice milk, banana, chia seed, sugar and almond milk yogurt. This was the  first time I tried the almond milk yogurt.  The consistency is a little thin, but it works for a smoothie.  It does have all the good gut bacteria that you want from yogurt.

Asparagus on the grill

Lunch - Sandwich - 6 asparagus spears, 5 slice of tofurky deli style, tofu mayo, basil and pesto dressing on a  tomato basil roll.

Crispy Rice Bar made from brown rice cereal, almonds and currants. The sticky stuff was made with brown rice syrup, almond butter and vanilla. This is a good alternative to the Rice Krispy Squares with more fiber and less fat.

Snack - granola

Breakfast - Granola and rice milk.  The granola is a mix of oats, almonds, wheat germ, whole wheat flour, oat bran, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, currants and ginger.  The binder was apple juice concentrate, honey, vanilla, and earth balance.

Lunch - Mushroom Tofu Burger - The burger was from dried porcini mushrooms, shallot, whole wheat bread crumbs, pressed tofu, button mushrooms, nutritional yeast, rice milk, earth balance, mustard, thyme, salt and pepper.  The dried mushrooms were soaked in hot water till tender.  Then everything was mixed in the food processor. To cook, the burger was coated in flour and cooked in safflower oil.
The burger was served on a Tomato Basil roll (I had stashed some in the freezer.) with pickle relish, ketchup and mango salsa.

Snack - Banana

Dinner - Stir fry of packaged textured vegetable protein with shiitake mushrooms and green onions seasoned with tarmari, Raki (a Turkish spirit) and salt.  The white rice was cooked in the soaking liquid from the porcini mushrooms which gave it a nice mushroom flavor.

Falafel Wrap

Lunch - Falafel Wrap with a Lemon Tahini Sauce.  A whole wheat tortilla was topped with mushrooms, basil, and mango salsa.  The falafel was a frozen variety that was heated in the oven and smashed into the tortilla then topped with the sauce.  The falafel were pretty good for a pre-made product.  The sauce was made from tahini, lemon juice, herb olive oil, salt, and mustard.

Snack - mixed nuts

Dinner -  Spaghetti and 'Meatballs' in Tomato Sauce.  The meatballs were from earlier in the year and the extras were in the freezer.  The tomato sauce was made with onions, garlic, canned whole tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, basil, a bay leaf, salt, pepper, and red wine that was simmered for an hour for a rich taste.
We split a bottle of a Spanish red wine with the meal.

Snack - Tortilla chips and hummus

Mezze - We had the table by the window

Workout - Rest Day.  I was too sore to do anything today.  Got a massage instead.

Tapenade

Breakfast - Slept in.  We haven't done that in a long time.

Falafal

Lunch - Mezze is a small plates restaurant.  They have two pages of the menu for vegetable choices.  About half are vegan, the others have cheese or aoli. I started with a Black Olive Tapenade and pita bread.  That was followed with Falafal in a tahini sauce and Orzo Pasta in a tomato sauce with lots of herbs. The serving sizes were a bit larger than a tapas place. I shared all the dishes with Tommy.   The food was great and I can come back and get totally different dishes.  That is rare for me.  They also have outdoor seating so we can bring the dogs next time.

Orzo

Dinner - Tempeh Fajitas.  This time I added the corn salsa and the leftover onion and mushroom saute.

This is the restaurant inside the American Visionary Art Museum.  It is decorated with pieces from the museum collection.  It's an American style bistro and very interesting.  There was only one non meat dish on the menu, so I would only visit with each menu change.  The food was very original and good.

Snack - 2 glasses white wine at Shiso Tavern with the Canton Club Happy Hour
