Spring Break



Ive been doing a lot of relaxing and making food at home over spring break.



My Dinner With Sen Pei: (Left plate) Black quinoa, lentil and garbanzo beans, yams, steamed asparagus.

My bowl (center) has pearl quinoa with seasoned black beans, chopped kumatoes, tabasco and braggs liquid aminos, red lettuce, baby spinach, arugula, alfalfa sprouts, crunchy sprouts, sun dried tomatoes, steamed asparagus olive oil, adobo and black pepper and a chopped up sweet potato. I will also have 2 egg whites and 2 slices of wheat bread.

The soundtrack for today: Ive been listening to "Bright Lights, Bigger City" on a loop. Maybe its that Michael Jackson vibe, perhaps its the James Bond sample in it. In any cases I'm just feeling it.

Seems kind of dull to you? Not to me. I switch up my quinoas and beans and lettuces and tomatoes. I can even get different sweet potatoes if I desire. There are some places I may eat similar stuff at For example I'll have the Yogis Choice (of quinoa, black beans, seitan and steamed Kale with a simple salad) @ Jivamukti Cafe or The Dragon Bowl (brown rice, beans, tofu, sea vegetables and steamed vegetables) @ Angelicas Kitchen.
