I want everything to taste like pumpkin.
Is that so bad? Breakfast was a Pumpkin Pie Smoothie Bowl made with half a scoop of Vega protein and baby kale and then topped with Love Grown Power O’s and cacao nibs. Deeeeelightful!
I was craving something savory after the smoothie bowl so I noshed on two brown rice cakes with Oasis roasted garlic hummus and hot sauce.
Lunch was a new vegan butternut squash pasta recipe that’s coming your way next week. Let me tell you folks, it’s a winner! I’ve been enjoying it with peas and hot sauce. Random but so, SO tasty.
I had a couple cups of coffee while I did some work along with a bunch of organic strawberries that I bought for today’s new segment. I felt like I was going to jump off a wall after the second cup. Will I ever learn?
Dinner was my new favorite recipe! I’ve been working on a maple tahini vegetable tempeh bake that has roasted delicata squash, carrots, red onion, tempeh, and a sauce that’s beyond incredible. I actually can’t even describe the flavor but I really, really hope you make it when I post it. Rosemary is definitely underrated…that’s all I have to say.
Put an egg on it!
I also made a super random salad with baby kale, green apple, cucumber, dates, pecans, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper. It was odd but not terrible.
Then I finished the rest of the Granny Smith apple with some sunbutter, which I have declared my new favorite seed butter. I forgot how amazing it is!
After I prepped banana peanut butter bites for the segment, I couldn’t help but end the night on a sweet note with one of Arman’s Banana Bread Blondies. He basically delivers massive amounts of food (mostly no-bakes, let’s be real) to my door and I love him so for it. Yesterday he gave me a delish apple cinnamon something something (that I proceeded to eat with my hands upon arrival) and I gave him a Tupperware of butternut pasta and tempeh veggie bake. It’s kind of amazing having food blogger friends to share food with.
I may have also had one of his Rice Krispie Treats. Yeah, that definitely happened.
Happy hump day, lover beans!
This all looks absolutely delicious!! Cannot WAIT for that butternut squash recipe! Definitely gonna make it asap with this cold and rainy weather i’ve been having up here!
Jealous of the food deliveries. That sounds fab! 🙂
Yum it looks like you have some great recipes coming our way! I feel the same way about pumpkin – put it in everything! Your pumpkin pie smoothie bowl looks sooo good!
Ya, rosemary is totally underrated! I can’t wait to see that tempeh bake…NOM. And the butternut squash pasta too. So much yumminess.
Are you and Arman shipping food to each other or did he move to Ohio?
I think the tempeh bake was made for you! So many veggies and…#rosemary.
Looks like an awesome day of eats. I actually love tempeh, so I can’t wait to see your recipe when it comes out. And I have totally jumped on the sunbutter train as well! I used to always see it on other people’s WIAWs in the blogosphere so I had to try.
1. I am not craving pumpkin at all this Fall, but the obsession with apples is for REAL…2. We will never learn on the coffee situation…3. Peas and hot sauce is so not random at all…hot sauce goes on everything, except when nut butter is involved. Happy Hump day! XOXO
Is the tempeh recipe making its way to the blog? Your thyme tempeh was the first tempeh recipe I’ve made and I’m obsessed!
I love rosemary! It’s a great anti-inflammatory spice, too. Bonus. 🙂
Oh man, that pasta looks so good!
I tried rice cakes with hummus and hot sauce one night last week (which I would never have thought of if not for you) and I think I’ve had it every night since. SO GOOD! Thanks for the idea 🙂 Sunbutter is my first true love too.
I don’t eat sunbutter enough- thanks for the reminder! Cant wait to see the maple tahini veggie tempeh recipe- sounds perfect for fall!
Sunbutter is definitely my favorite! I love how it is usually affordable (at least in comparison to others).
I need my friends to learn how to love baking, because a delivery of snacks would be amazing.
