And now for our second week recap of food. I purposefully stopped posting the meals on instagram so that you had to come here to see them. Plus, you should get more out of it this way…except no recipes, because I think they belong to Centr…I paid for the app but I just don’t feel comfortable sharing the recipes so freely. So, if you know me, or Harry, feel free to reach out and we are happy to give you the deets.

BREAKFAST

Coconut, Blueberry & Date Smoothie
—The first day was rough because someone forgot to pit the dates….the blender did not appreciate that.
— Ace: I thought they were good, the date added a nice flavor and texture that was pleasantly surprising.
— Harry: I didn’t like how it was gritty. I think it was the dates.

Mexican Black Beans on Toast
—Harry: Easy to make. It was missing avocado, I think that would’ve pulled the whole thing together, but it was good flavor. We actually took the time to get good bread instead of a store bought loaf which was worth it.
—Ace: This was great. We’d been making a lot of avocado toast, which is great, but it was getting boring. We didn’t mix it up much. I think this would be a perfect addition to avocado toast. We got fancy bread and that made it even yummy-er!

Peanut Butter & Banana Pancakes
—Ace: These were good. I felt like we were a little short on banana…
—Harry: Awesome. Hahahaha. The flavor was so good, you didn’t need much syrup.

LUNCH

We didn’t follow their lunch plan. Every other day was some sort of salad, that looked good, but we had a ton of left overs each night, so we ate those instead.

DINNER

Kale & Cashew Pesto Pasta
— Ace: So yum. Pesto for the best-o! Super excited to have a vegan recipe for pesto on hand!
—Harry: This was easier to make than I thought it would be. I think I would double the sauce next time though.

Green Pea & Almond Soup with Tofu
—Harry: I hope you like peas!
—Ace: It wasn’t very green…..but it was grreeeaaaattttt. I loved it. The broth was perfect.

Vegan Spaghetti alla Puttanesca
—Ace: I’m not a tomato lover or a tomato hater, so I wasn’t sure how this would go. When I have spaghetti, I want more sauce than noodles so I was skeptical. BUT, of course, it was delicious. Not too heavy either, so you were full but not tired!
—Harry: This had a really good tomato sauce. I might steal the recipe for regular spaghetti, who am I kidding? I’ll just make this.

Lentil Fried Rice with Kale & Mushrooms
—Harry: I substituted carrot for the mushrooms (due to someone being high maintenance). It had a good texture and adding the carrots and extra onions made up for the no mushrooms.
—Ace: FYI, anything with mushroom, will NEVER have mushroom when we make it. Gross. I do, however, love me some fried rice.

Veggie Burgers with Beet Hummus
—Ace: I like veggie burgers. I DON’T like fake meat burgers. I’m not interested in “beyond burgers” or the “impossible burgers”. I simply don’t like the taste of meat, so I’m not looking to make other foods taste like it. That makes this burger awesome. It was flavorful and clean. I’m pretty sure Harry took a shortcut and bought regular chickpea hummus and not beet hummus, but that’s ok. My patty did fall apart, but to me, that’s part of the fun of veggie burgers.
—Harry: The best veggie burger I’ve made. Easy to put together and made an excellent lunch the following day.
