Hello again! Time again for me to post everything I ate today, in excruciating detail. First up, breakfast! Grape Nuts, banana and soy milk. Sounds blah, but it’s actually one of my favorites. Don’t judge.
Grape Nuts, banana and soy milk. Better than it sounds.
I ate breakfast on the patio, but just as I was finishing it started sprinkling. Not five minutes after I went back inside, the sky opened up and started pissing it down, and it hasn’t stopped all day. Cold and rainy always makes me want soup, so thank goodness I had some in the freezer for just such an occasion. Last week I made another Isa tester, Lotsa Veggie Lentil Soup. It made quite a lot, so I kept a few servings out for lunches last week, and froze the rest in individual portions for another time. Such as today. Thankfully, I had some cornbread muffins in the freezer as well. Instant comfort meal.

Snack time! I couldn’t resist another Honeycrisp apple. Check out the size of it!
Hello, gigantic Honeycrisp. I love you.
I ate it with a slice of Ezekiel 4:9 Low Sodium Sprouted Grain Bread spread with a tablespoon of Mighty Maple Peanut Butter.
Seriously, how adorable is my place mat?
Dinner was pizza. I made a nice, thin whole wheat crust, which cooked up so perfectly crispy on my pizza stone, I can’t accurately communicate the level of perfection reached without resorting to guttural noises. I topped it with pizza sauce, onion, green bell pepper, roasted red pepper, tofu ricotta and spinach.
You can't see my perfectly crisp crust, but it's there.
At the end of the day, I wanted something sweet. I don’t usually indulge in dessert, but today I decided to throw caution to the wind and go for it. I decided on some Purely Decadent Cherry Nirvana with banana, walnuts and chocolate syrup.
Cover anything with bananas and chocolate syrup, and I'll eat it.
And of course, the nutritional stats. I did end up having to take a calcium supplement, since I opted for dessert and not something a little more nutritionally sound, but it was so worth it.
