Work Hard, Eat Hard

I spent the morning working hard – and I got a lot done! Go me. I wanted to go running around noon, but I wanted to finish a project more, so I kept working. Then by 1:30 I was too hungry to go, so I decided to have lunch and run this afternoon. I must have been REALLY hungry because I threw together this lunch in about 2 minutes (while getting a head start on crackers), wolfed it down in about 10, and went back for more.

The last of my leftover Coconut Maple Tofu –

IMG_1877 (800x600)

And the last of my Mustard Pecan BBQ Slaw (it was def. on its last leg)

IMG_1875 (800x600)

Some strawlburries (said in a British accent)

IMG_1876 (800x600)

And the grains. Kashis and half a TJ’s naan.

IMG_1878 (800x600)

With tea.

IMG_1874 (800x600)

Although I started to feel full mid-strawberries, I went back for more crackers and polished off the bag – I couldn’t get enough of these guys!

IMG_1882 (800x600)

And a piece of PB fudge Aunt Becky left for us –

IMG_1883 (800x600)

I think I overshot my time between meals with that huge oatmeal bowl and wound up overhungry without even realizing it.

    Kath, I love your dedication to eat leftovers. I am the same way. I cringe if I have to throw something out…. like the last blondie from last week…. it went stale from lack of cover…. it hurt

    lol That article was great. I am one of the cilantro haters of the world. To me it really tastes like a mix of soap and plastic. It’s ruined many a salsa, guacamole, and other foods for me.

    How long do you bake the coconut tofu? Sorry to harp on this but I AM SO EXCITED to try it after seeing it in your post again! Unfortunately I have not found unsweetened coconut ANYWHERE here. Grrr.

    I love the idea of your coconut tofu. bet it would be nice with Pad Thai noodles. I’m British and I’ve never heard Srawlburries pronounced as such. Perhaps the Southern English American drawl. Hah Hah.

    Jennifer ,
    I’m not exactly sure how long to bake it because I fried it, but I would say min. 20 minutes at 400* and max 40 minutes? I would just keep an eye on it after 20 to make sure it’s not burning on the outside.

    musicfan ,
    LOL. Maybe it’s more like Strewburies!? I just can’t type it! How would you!?

    So I bought Kashi crackers for the first time this weekend. I’m not a huge fan of crackers, but my husband made salami, so we needed something to eat it with.
    I had no idea they were so Tiny! I always see them on your blog and assume they are bigger, because your photography is so good!

    I have been reading your food blog and the food blogs of many other women whom I’ve seen referenced on your site, and am constantly surprised by how often you all use the term ‘starving’ in reference to your appetite.
    From what I can tell, you all live in comfortable homes, and have lives that allow you the luxury of focusing so intently on what you eat. Many of you are even pursuing high education, yet you apparently lack the knowledge or world view to refrain from calling yourself starving when you haven’t eaten in a few hours. For people who obviously dedicate so much of their brain’s energy into thinking about food and the consumption of food, the lack of insight about how far away from starving you all are is surprising and disheartening.

    I really dig the Kashi TLC crackers. Have you tried the Cheese flavored version? So worth it, they put cheez-it’s to shame and that is saying a lot from a reformed cheez-it junkie.

    Nice try at starting an argument. But yours holds no weight because not once, in that entire post, did Kath use the word “starving.”

    So please get back to solving the world’s hunger crisis because you are adding nothing here!

    I’m with Sara….and plus, don’t “Just visit”…a love of healthy food blogs is no place to criticize, although Kath puts her meals up and she will be occasionally judged, this a blog about finding a happy medium and I think all of us can agree that when one does decide to use the term starving, we OBVIOUSLY do not mean it in a dis-heartening and ignorant way.

    Lori ,
    I haven’t had Splenda in months! I just decided to do it and did it. Mind over matter. I actually prefer my coffee unsweet now. It’s a better contrast with oatmeal kinda like pairing wine with food. I will put the occasional packet of Equal in tea when I’m out in a restaurant or have some in the afternoon, but I’d say I’ve cut back to no more than twice a month?

    Just Visiting,
    I agree with the others. First I didn’t even say starving here, I said “really hungry” but when I do, it is obviously not literal. I am sorry if you find it offensive.

    so does this mean you don’t like cilantro either? i’m undecided on the matter. i definitely used to HATE it. but now i’m okay with it. so yeah, kind of ambivalent.

    the one thing i absolutely cannot STAND in food is the red color dye, red no. 40. i cannot eat or drink anything with this particular colorant in it. jello, kool aid, red juices (or cocktails with said juices). i can definitely taste the dye and it’s horribly chemically-tasting. i’m not big on anything that is too heavily colored, but red things are the absolute worst.

    does anyone else get this? or is it just me?

    oh – also, i thought you’d find this super interesting. in particular, note what they drink… not a whole lot of alcohol. but lots and lots of coke products.
