Super Sunday!

Happy Super Sunday folks!

Woke up early to join my meetup group Go Far Run in Campbell, CA for a group run.  More like a solo run…but you met the group before you started.  For the first meet up I liked it…but I’m really looking to find a running partner – so we’ll see.  I’ll sign up for the next Go Far Run group event after my race next week.

On the drive home I stopped at the local Starbucks and picked up a grande coffee for HunBun and a Grande Soy Skinny Vanilla Latte for me.  Yu-um!  I’m sure I could make this at home but our darn Keurig‘s on the fritz again.  Sounds like an old dirt bike is trying to get one last mile out before it starts shooting smoke out its parts.  I wish our local ‘bucks had these cool touchscreens although I’m in and out of there so quick that it’d probably be faster to just order like a normal person.

Signing Papers

We had to go find a Notary to sign more documents for our Disney Vacation Club.  Our first DVC vacation is next February!  I, we I mean, can’t wait.

Lunch

Asian “tacos”

Lunch was Beef Brats for HunBun.  Steamed on the stove then rolled around in the hot pan for some color…the Brats not us (Bwahahaha).  I made “Asian Tacos”.   I called them that when I started making them – but then they morphed out of Asia when I added some feta for flava!   I didn’t take a picture post “taco” build…der.  I’ll have to remember for next time.

 

Asian “Tacos”

2 Handfuls of Broccoli slaw + 4 Cherry Tomatoes + 1/4 block of firm Tofu (squished into the pan).  Squirts of Bragg’s Liquid Amino and Sriracha.  Stir fry then split between 3 Guerrero Corn Tortillas.

Eats!

Off to do more weekend “chores”…

So today for lunch I decided to get back on the wagon, after last night’s kiddie pizza party, and eat a healthy stir fry that is super easy.  I have a ton of cookbooks (more like tens, but you know what I mean) but have not yet mastered the art of cooking.

Like the other day I tried a recipe I got from a bloggedy blog for baked tofu.  So I followed the directions and half way through the baking time I decided to add in some Bragg’s Liquid Amino for flavor.  Thinking nothing of it, I pulled open the oven door and squirted some of that amino right on top of the tofu block.  Super-Der!  Wouldn’t you know that taking room temperature liquid and adding that to a hot glass dish would cause some kind of reaction?  Like a big old cracking sound followed by sizzling as said liquid oozed out of the cracked glass dish and onto the bottom of the hot oven?  Geez!

 So this recipe is super easy!  Just grab whatever veggies you have and stir fry them in a pan.  I use Nutiva Coconut Oil in the pan before dropping all the veggies in. I added some brussel sprouts, organic kale, broccoli slaw, organic grape tomatoes and some squished tofu.   I squirt some liquid amino and Sriracha for taste.  Once the veggies are as wilty as you like, slide it all out of the pan and onto a plate.  Super yum!

So to those of you who haven’t tried brussel sprouts – go ahead and grab 1-2 loose ones.  Those who haven’t tried kale – it’s just greenery.  Those who walk past that bag of broccoli slaw in the refrigerated produce section – think of them as thin green fries.  I won’t say anything about tomatoes since mostly everyone eats those.

Easy Eats!  It’s the only way to balance everything!
