1st meal. Egg muffins with spinach, red & green peppers and uncured ham. Drizzled a lil sriracha for some extra spice. Did some food prep last night, so I’ve got these babies ready to go for the rest of the week!! #delish #planahead (Taken with Instagram)

OK, last pic. It’s my cheat night and this is what I chose (real rebel, I know!). Obviously I haven’t cleared up the whole “craving pumpkin” thing yet π I am now off to drink my beer and eat my Mac n Cheese and veg in front of the TV for the rest of the night. Like I said, total rebel over here π (Taken with Instagram)

Christmas Tree Shop… I LOVE YOU!! All of this for under $50??!! Say WHAT?! I’ll start from the left. Pie plate shield (so I don’t burn the edges of the crust on the next pumpkin pieπ). Then we have Popsicle molds so I can make some yogurt/protein/whatever other concoction I come up with “pops” π Then we have a grater/shredder/I’m really bad with knives so this makes the kitchen less dangerous contraptionπ A square baking pan so I can make my own protein bars! π Now…. There’s the “consumables”. 3 bags of coffee in flavors that sound delish (and smelled unbelievable), Jamaican Me Crazy and Black Forrest Cake (really? #yum). 2 bags of Beanitos (chips made from black beans) one plain, one chipotle. Mmmm. 2 snack packs of dried fruit and an adorable little coffee scoop that I just had to have for $1.00! π Last but not least…. Peanut Butter & Co. 3 jars, 16 oz size for ….. $3.29 ea!!!!π I’ve been paying almost $7 per jar!!! I let out a small yelp when I saw the price (yes, people were staring #whatevs). Awesome, awesome, awesome. I love getting a bargain!! (Taken with Instagram)

Yeeeea, ummm…. WOW!! #justhadmymindblown I sooo did NOT expect this to be quite so tasty. Pumpkin Pie made with TOFU?? Huh, what?? SMH. Totally thought this would end up in the trash, instead I’m contemplating a 2nd piece π· The filling I found online. 18oz extra firm tofu, 2 cups pumpkin and 2/3 cup honey (I used 1/3 cup honey flavored agave). I don’t measure spices, I do it all to “taste”, but it breaks down close to 1/4 tsp nutmeg, 1.5 tsp cinnamon, 3/4 tsp ginger and 1/4 tsp clove (or you can KISS π and use pumpkin pie spice). Mine has no clove, can’t stand the stuff (something to do with those trendy cigarettes everyone smoked in the 90’s π) Now, the crust in the originally recipe called for graham cracker. That would be good and you can buy a “lighter” version, but I decided to experiment. I mixed 1/2 cup almond meal, 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1/2 scoop of vanilla casein, 2 tbsp of Honey flavored agave and 2 tbsp of Plain non-fat Chobani. Mixed it all together and pressed it into the pie dish. Poured the filling into that, stuck it into the oven at 350 for approx 90 mins. Once done, it sat for about 5 hrs at room temp. Still SMDH. #surprisinglydelish (Taken with Instagram)
This is what’s for dinner π Big ol’ piece of romaine with a little WF miracle mayo on it. Topped with ground turkey, peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes, carrots and some sriracha. Basically a salad you can roll up and eat like a taco! #mighthavegottenalittlemessy π Those little roll up things are fried tofu wrapped in a thin slice of cucumber. Those were just OK. Had some tofu left over from the dessert I made today….. which looks awesome, but I have yet to try it #fingerscrossed I’ll post a pic after the taste test π (Taken with Instagram)
