So the liquid lunch was a bad idea. It’s possible I said “I’m soooooo hungry” so many times this evening that the husband temporarily stopped loving me. No worries, I’m sure my complaints about the cold won him back
So far the vegan challenge has been easy breezy, but tonight, surrounded by the chicken wings and pizza logs of Wegman’s hot bar, it felt pretty challenging. All I can say is thank God was able to find these (vegan) veggie wontons at the sushi counter.
If I hadn’t been able to eat before we started shopping I’m pretty sure I’d still be at the grocery store, wandering around in a haze and whimpering.
But the beast was not squelched, as my hand found its way (again and again) into this bag of tortilla chips while I prepared dinner.
It got so bad I finally took out another, smaller bag of chips so I’d have some built-in portion control.
Adam shared the bag with me, but not by much, and there might have been some growling.
It’s a good thing dinner was tasty.
It’s also a good thing that dinner was low-calorie and full of veggies, but that’s another story.
*, serves 4
2 tightly packed cups baby spinach
3/4 cup canned corn
1 cup finely chopped red onion
1 cup crushed tortilla chips
1 medium avocado, chopped
1.5 cups pre-cooked, chopped veggies (Use whatever you’ve got leftover, but we used yellow squash and broccoli and that’s what I’d recommend if you’re starting from scratch.)
2 8oz jars Pace Mild Picante Sauce
*Note – this will not come out in squares like a typical casserole, it’s more of a spoon out dish.
I’m finally full, and now I’m (finally) going to get in bed with a book!
