Tuckered Out + Tusker

Tonight kind of went by without me noticing. Time is flying!

My eggs + toast kept me totally satisfied all afternoon, but I knew I needed to pack a substantial snack since I planned on having dinner after class tonight. So I made a smoothie! It ended up being perfect because I didn’t drink it until I got to class (it was still cold 45 minutes later) and the volume was super filling.

IMG_2067 (480x640)

  • 1/2 frozen banana
  • ~1 cup mango
  • 1/2 cup soy milk
  • 1 tbsp chia
  • Handful ice
  • Handful spinach
  • Half pack Vega Berry blend

IMG_2066 (640x480)

I was perfectly hungry when I arrived home at 8:15. I’d planned a Tofu soup for Matt to make (he’s a great cook, but I like to leave him one-step recipes when he’s all alone so he doesn’t have too much to worry about). It was filling and delish. And SPICY!

IMG_2079 (480x640)

The recipe was from the newest Cooking Light: Fiery Tofu and Coconut Curry Soup. Luckily we’ve had a jar of red curry powder in our fridge for ages, and I got tofu – Nasoya Firm Cubed – to throw in. Some green pepper, carrot, ginger, frozen snap peas (I told him to use whatever we had) and coconut milk later…

While the soup heated up, I found my hand in the chip bag. Food Should Taste THIS Good all the time!

IMG_2071 (480x640)

I decided to go with a slice of Flax Oat Bran – cubed for ease of eating – instead of the chips though. It seemed to go better with the soup.

And dined by candlelight – and Gossip Girl!! My episodes are closing in on me. I think I only have 2 discs left!?

IMG_2075 (640x480)

When I came home, I found a bottle of Tusker that Tusker the Kenyan beer bottle elephant got for me!!!!

IMG_2068 (480x640)

There’s nothin’ like drinking a Tusker in Kenya though 🙂

 

Goodnight, sweetheart, goodnight.

    That soup sounds amazing! I need to try making a curry like that. And what a perfect way to end your evening… I’m right there with you on those Gossip Girl episodes. I’ll be sad when it’s over!

    I LOVE coconut curry, and have been on a curry kick for a couple weeks now 🙂

    Try adding coconut milk and curry spices to steamed veggies, such as cauliflower, for a nice kick!!

    Glad you got to enjoy a Tusker 😉

    I think me resisting Gossip Girl is really becoming a losing battle. I’m afraid I will like it too much and become addicted. Other shows I may become addicted to – Glee, Vampire Diaries, Melrose Place. EWWWWWWW!

    Oh how I wish the hubby knew how to cook! His skills magically disappeared when we moved in together!

    I am dying to try Tofu, never had it, but worried about the taste texture aspect. Does any one have advice for a first timer? Best dish/way to cook it?

    Whoa, I WANT that soup. Seeing your pics gave me an idea–use the chips as a crunchy topper for the soup! I love me some crunch.

    I love that soups are in season now! I wanted them all summer but ended up snubbing them due to the heat. Now it’s 40 something degrees out, time for some Mmm! Mmm! Goodness hehe 🙂

    I’m a huge fan of those FSTG chips too! I’ve tried the sweet potato and chocolate so far (sooo good with PB). And I currently have a bag of Buffalo in my cabinet. Can’t wait to try!

    Soup looks excellent!

    Do chia seeds in smothies impart a “gel” like they do when you mix into yogurt or cottage cheese or do they just get ground up so fine that doesn’t happen?

    I’m definitely trying that recipe soon – I saw it in the lastest issue as well. I’m thinking maybe serving it over brown rice, more like a typical curry?

    Lizzy,
    Favorite soup = Nutty Vanilla Sweet Potato + Kale. It’s on the sidebar! And split pea.

    Stephanie,
    3 more episodes to watch and then I’m so ready!!!

    Stacy,
    I would bake it. Gliding Calm started the baked tofu revolution and has her recipe on her site. I have a BBQ baked recipe on my sidebar that is good too!

    Sarah,
    It’s an Amazing Grass shaker I got from the Blog Summit.

    Lara,
    The do kind of gel, but once you blend the smoothie they don’t really seem to have much effect. It was not a gel smoothie. It tasted like a normal one. Perhaps a bit thicker though?

    Amanda,
    It was quite brothy, so I’d cut back on the broth if you do.
