It's raining....Let's burn something

Image
I'm talking about candles you pyromaniacs! :-) Please don't burn any food! It's wasteful and toxic to your lungs. But feel free to burn some non-sooty candles. And by some I mean at least 10 because today it's raining and snowing. Brown Rice Noodles w/ Tomatoes spinach and nooch sauce  Did you know Trader Joe's has loads of veg and gluten free foods? Their Brown Rice pasta is really tasty (when cooked properly..AKA not too long..oops). And the texture makes it a great carrier for creamy sauces. Sometimes dairy free sauces don't adhere to pastas, but not so with brown rice pasta. I'm having a romance with Nutritional Yeast at the moment (Yay b-vitamins!) and one of my favorite ways to enjoy it is smothering pasta. Brown Rice Pasta just sounds so healthy, but who cares about healthy when it tastes so good. Nom nom nom! Random side note... Look how pretty the trees were! This is a few days ago...

What to eat when you don't feel like eating...

The list is really long as I often am without an appetite. Who knew stress (and PMS) has good side affects. lol Sorry for the TMI bro! Reaching for carby, slightly sweet things is a surefire way to warm the insides and get some nutrients in. But ive been known to eat a salad topped with protein (quinoa or garbanzoes) and some fat (olive oil and avocadoes please). Single Girl muffin or cupcake: mmm...muffin! Frozen Gluten Free Waffles with pan sauteed Cinnamon Apples: Something about the smell of apples and cinamon that gives me an immediate appetite boost. waffles on a tacky plate On a Final note: Smoothie is a food group.... But it contains a couple food groups making it an ideal "meal" for one not wanting a "meal". When properly made they contain fruit protein veg carb and whatever else you can stuff in the blender. On a not so final note..... Im going to Dublin, Ireland for my next missionar
