    Today is a lazy day (well...except for the Power Flow class I subbed this morning and the house cleaning planned - just no cooking or anything that requires hand washing dishes).

    Breakfast: Lemon Ginger tea with mint and honey.
    Chocolate Chia Pudding with stewed berries, coconut yogurt and almond butter.

    AM Snack: Honeycrisp apple with almond butter and homemade granola

    Lunch: Boca Burger's Spicy Chik'n on local honey wheat with black pepper hummus, kale and pickled red onions.

    PM Snack: (probably) Black pepper hummus with superseed crackers

    Dinner: veganized Zuppa Toscana (with extra protein) OR Burrito Nourish bowl.

    Thank you so much for posting this and giving me new ideas for meals! I'm not a scrambled egg person (my husband loves scrambled eggs. I love over medium/hard and boiled eggs though), but these scrambled eggs look tremendous--and so doesn't "look" like 6 eggs. I'm also not really a "chicken" person, but this chicken looks fab. For you to add veggies to this mix is wonderful. Also, for you to sprinkle pepper flakes on everything makes is even more yummy. When you mention "bacon grease" my mind automatically goes to homemade "rue" dark gravy. Bacon grease makes the BEST gravy.

    This is not the garlic tea I drink, https://www.amazon.com/Garlic-Certified-Organic-Tea-bags/dp/B008X8KQ96?th=1
    but will tell you a wee bit about it. The garlic tea I drink is "loose" not tea bags ( I put it in a teaball and steep it for a while), but I LOVE it!!!! I don't drink it (or the other teas I drink) because it's suppose to help with (fill in the blank) I drink garlic tea and other exotic teas because I LOVE GARLIC (and exotic teas) so much and it tastes and is garlic--nothing else-I drink this and other teas straight, nothing at all added, because I like it that way, this garlic tea is just (concentrated dried garlic chips and again, I love it!!!

    I get mine from the health food store. The teas I drink do/can have side-effects, and this garlic tea does too--so I don't drink it everyday or a lot of it...here's more info on garlic tea:

    Yesterday:

    Breakfast: sliced peaches, yoghurt, handful un-sugared cereal, spoon of tahini
    After workout snack: banana, trail mix, banana chips
    Lunch: Baked beans, bag of frozen sprouts, toast
    Afternoon snacks: animal crackers, banana chips, tea
    Dinner: 3/4 head of iceberg with tomatoes, red onion, cucumber, garbanzos, tzatziki, yoghurt ranch dressing, greek seasoning, S&P, would have added hummus too but the little left had gone fuzzy.

    I'm not actually veggie, accidental meat-free day.
