    I'm giving myself an unplanned day because I've been getting a little rigid in my planning, then failing to stick to the plan, then beating myself up about it. I've been trying to tell myself "it's fine, it's just a lazy summer day" or "it's fine, you had a good reason to change your dinner plans," but I've been really anxious and guilty and constantly coming in here to tattle on myself. I want to nip this cycle in the bud, so I'm taking a little breather to enjoy food as simply delicious and nourishing. I've been working from home for a few days which has given me time to prep and cook, so I have plenty of stuff already put together, ready to be enjoyed!

    Breakfast: Coffee with creamer (Eyeballed it today.... I know, I know...)
    Lunch: One leftover fish taco from dinner out last night. If I'm still feeling hungry I'll make a salad from spring mix, tomatoes, red onions, topped with balsamic dijon mix
    Snacks: Greek yogurt with dressing. SUPPOSED to have a protein shake. That hasn't been happening recently, so we'll see how today goes.
    Dinner: Leftover thai tofu and veggie curry over jasmine rice

    Lunch: rice with stir fried ginger sesame broccoli
    Dinner: tofurky sandwich on sourdough bread with spicy mustard and romaine, carrot sticks, cucumber spears, an orange
    Snack: banana, cherry coke zero

    The pumpkin sauce was something I made up because I had a cup of pumpkin puree left over from another recipe! It turned out much better than I thought it would.

    I mixed 1 cup of pumpkin puree with 1/4 cup rice vinegar, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1 tablespoon gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes), 1 teaspoon cayenne, 1 teaspoon cumin seed, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, and 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes [you can probably tell I like it spicy, you can adjust the spice to your own preferences]. I cooked the vegetables all together and then added the sauce and cooked pasta. The sauce coated it all very well. I would not have been able to identify the pumpkin taste -- it tasted sweet like tomato sauce, but in a way that complemented the Asian flavors in the dish. If I made it again I might add a bit of nut butter or PB2. It seems like it would go well with it.

    I feel like maybe this thread is dying and I should let it go? But also, food talk!

    Breakfast: two slices of whole-grain toast (one with butter and sour cherry jam, one with peanut butter); French press coffee.

    Lunch: leftover BLT chicken salad in lettuce cups, peach or nectarine.

    Dinner: it's grocery day again, so frozen pizza after work and shopping. Fancy.

    Snacks: Jolly Ranchers, popcorn.

    I thought about that, too. If people are still into it I'd be totally happy to do it that way. :)

    I like the daily format, but I tend to post less often because I tend to eat a lot of leftovers.
