I welcome you to a new segment of the health challenge blog that I am calling "Lentils for Breakfast." The title is not a metaphor, it's what I actually had for breakfast this morning. Why you ask? Well here in the Bates-Gómez home, today marks the kick-off to a month-long vegan challenge. We can't think of a better way to start the new year than by making more mindful food choices. Each day, we'll present our dinner selections for the challenge. We'll be eating vegan all day, but blogging every meal choice may start to get a bit tedious.
Which brings me back to the title. Turns out that breakfast on the vegan challenge requires a little more thought and planning that I'm used to. When I arrived at work hungry and with the cafeteria being several very (very) cold steps away, I decided to have my lunch (lentils) for breakfast -- hence the name. :-)
Vegan Challenge: Day -30
With yesterday being both the start of our challenge
and our 6-month wedding anniversary, we went out for Thai food!
To start we had summer spring rolls with vegetables, tofu and rice vermicelli:
For our main meal we shared tofu pad thai with no egg (or peanuts) and a sauteed green vegetable mix with brown rice:
Dessert at home was Almond Dream ice cream and baked apples. I think we can consider day 1 a success. :-)
