Morning!

Thanks for all the comments on yesterdays post! You all had such wise thing to say about this ongoing issue a lot of us seem to face on believing others beliefs and really trusting our bodies.

Moving on, it may not be the weekend, but another Wednesday means another great weekly party.

Apparently I was only able to sleep in for a day because I woke up again this morning up and ready at 5. It ended up working out since spin was at 5:20. After spin, I had worked up quite the appetite so I quickly sat down for some food.

Breakfast -

Buckwheat bowl.

I’m so obsessed with these now. I combined 1/4 cup buckwheat flour, 1 tablespoon hemp protein powder, 1/2 tablespoon chia seeds, and 1/3 cup pumpkin. Cooked and allowed it to cool and thicken overnight in the fridge.

Yum, it comes out so amazing in the morning. Topped off with my favourite peanut flour frosting.

I’ve actually received quite a few questions on how to make the peanut flour frosting. It’s the easiest thing ever.

• 2 tablespoons peanut flour
• a little stevia
• a small pinch of sea salt (I use pink himalayan)
• about 1 1/2 tablespoons almond milk, often a bit less if I want it thicker.

Sometimes, I’ll even double this recipe to make more.

After breakfast, I had an appointment to get to. It was kind of brutal actually. I ended up being there for 2 and 1/2 hours. Kind of unnecessary but all of that is taken care of, so I won’t have to go back which is nice.

I initially thought I’d only be there for about an hour, so I didn’t pack any snacks which I instantly regretted because I came home starving. Thank goodness I had leftovers in the fridge from earlier in the week.

After returning home, I made a quick cup of coffee before I ate, to satisfy my caffeine craving.

And yes, I did stock up on the holiday cups before they left Starbucks.

I have issues and like drinking out of these cups rather than coffee mugs.

Lunch - 

Quinoa salad with zucchini, coconut oil, roasted tomatoes, tomato paste, a little cauliflower, spinach, nutritional yeast, fresh basil, nutritional yeast, and avocado on the side.

It was absolutely freezing here today. Okay, I exaggerate just a tad. It was just super duper rainy. Like insane rain, but it made me want to just curl up inside with a good book and not do anything.

Unfortunately, after I quickly ate, I had another appointment to get to.

My appointment went be really quick, so I was able to get home from the freezing rain and warm myself up with a cup of tea. I got to try out Amanda’s favorite tea and I can so see why. It is truly delicious! Yum.

Now, I’m totally going to have to order some online. Darn addictions to new things. Now I just need to try the sugar cookie tea everyone raves about.

Snack -

I made a new batch of pumpkin protein bars but had to swap out a few of the ingredients, since I’m intolerant to a few of them.

Luckily they were already vegan beforehand, but I still can’t have flaxseeds, brown rice protein, or amaranth flour.

Dinner - 

Since it was rainy out, it made it the perfect night for chili.

I still can’t get enough of this recipe. I make it at least once every two weeks.

I have no plans for tonight, so I think I’m just going to catch up on the Bachelor. Honestly, I’m not too impressed right now. It’s all the same. Crying, sappiness, heartache (I’m sorry but how can you be crying about a guy after 2 hours?) but I’m sure after a few episodes it will get even better, you know once you can actually learn everyone’s name.

Plus Pretty Little Liars returns tonight (yes, I’m actually 22) and it’s kind of an awesome show, so I’m more excited for that.

I’m thinking later I’ll have a vegan protein muffin, coconut flour frosting and some peanut flour again as well.

Do you like the Bachelor? Are you watching this season?

What’s your favorite show?

Are you an early bird or a night owl?

Have a fantastic Wednesday!
