Stuff I Ate

Hey guys! I hope all is well, that you had a good weekend and that all of my fellow allergy sufferers are doing ok! The warm weather and sunshine are amazing but of course along with that comes a blanket of pollen, stuffy noses and itchy, swollen throats. I'm currently working my way through finding some natural remedies and would love some recommendations! I have read that boosting your immunity is a great place to start so I'm working on getting in my probiotics and some colorful foods. Although I don't think you'll see a ton of colorful food in this post… 😬😳😂

Before I get into some yummy food I thought I would take a second to say that May is Mental Health Awareness Month. As many of you know, mental health awareness and stopping the stigma are very near and dear to me and I always like to take a moment to spread the word when I can. I won't spend a lot of time talking about it on this blog but I encourage anyone that is hurting or feels like they need to seek help to please do so. There is nothing to be ashamed of or embarrassed about. We all need to take care of ourselves and there is nothing wrong with getting the help that you need. Also, I encourage you to look out for your loved ones. If you see someone that may be struggling, let them know that you care, that you support them and that they aren't alone. You have no idea how much of a difference that can make. 💚

OK, now on to the food (and drink!). I decided that since spring has finally sprung it was time to treat myself to a Starbucks iced beverage. I chose a decaf soy hazelnut latte and it was delicious.

You guys. This. I don't know where the hell I came up with this but I'm so glad I did. I had gone to the Turkish market to grab their amazing fresh bread and homemade hummus and decided to make a sandwich out of it. I used hummus, thick slices of tomato and I finally tried the Violife Feta that I purchased from the vegan market! You guys. It's fucking amazing. Total game changer. It tastes so authentic and it added so much to this sandwich. A little goes a long way too so it'll last a while. I'm so freaking excited!!

You know I'm obsessed with my zucchini noodles lately. I made a big batch to bring for lunches this week. I included some broccoli this time, the beefless crumbles and I mixed some vegan mozzarella in as I was giving it a final stir. This worked out well and made the sauce like a creamy pink sauce! I am so excited to have this for lunch today!

Weekends call for bagels and this plain Jane bagel was so much better than it probably looks. This was a toasted plain bagel with half Earth Balance and half Tofutti. It was so good.

So that's what I have for you today! I hope you all enjoyed your weekend and have a great week ahead of you! I'll see you on Friday!
