I'm not sure if it's the weather or just me, but i've been
feeling very melancholy lately and could use some cheering up...
So I made a Tempeh Taco Bowl Salad to perk me up a bit
Tempeh, avocado, refried pinto beans
, tomatoes, salsa, lettuce,
, tomatoes, salsa, lettuce,
lemon juice and black pepper, tucked into a baked tortilla
Question: What type of foods or meals do you
choose when you're feeling sad and need a boost?
oh I am so sorry you are feeling sad :(
ReplyDeleteTo boost my spirits I go get some exercise and eat CHOCOLATE :) It is a natural happy food :) :
I love your homemade tortilla bowls! Mac and cheese makes me feel better when I'm sad!
ReplyDeletethat would cheer me up too. how did you get the tortilla shaped that way?
ReplyDeletemac n cheese, soup, a great salad!
ReplyDeletehope you feel better!
oh I need tempeh! I've ran out and can't find it anywhere. It definitely boosts my mood! Love it with avocado.
ReplyDelete:)
Comfort food = chocolate millet pudding :) I swear by it!
ReplyDeleteI looove how you make your tacos into little shells. What a genius you are! Taco salad can always cheer me up, too. :)
ReplyDeleteI think it's definitely the weather outside! When I am sad, I crave comfort foods - it can be sweet/saltry or savory!
ReplyDeletehugshugshugs! i've been feeling a little blue lately, too. such a bummer, right? when i'm feeling down i gravitate toward carrots and hummus. or anything with hummus ;) and i love making chocolate avocado pudding with coconut cream. basically healthy foods always brighten my day.
ReplyDeleteand your taco bowl salad looks delicious! i happen to have some tempeh just sitting in my fridge...hmm...dinner tonight, perhaps :)? hope you feel better, kelsey!!!
Sometimes I crave a fresh salad but mostly I choose the bad stuff - like hot buttered toast! Feel better!
ReplyDeleteSo far we've had snow, rain, and freezing rain today in Montreal- definitely feeling the weather blues too! Whenever I'm down, I usually crave carbs- pasta or bread usually do the trick. Your bowl looks very delicious- hope it helps to cheer you up!
ReplyDeleteThat would definitely cheer me up, but for the most part a big crazy bowl of oats makes me happy! It has to be piled high with fun toppings too!
ReplyDeleteMMMMM looks good to me! Perhaps a taco salad bowl is what I need tonight too.
ReplyDeleteThat salad looks amazzzzzzzing!! Love the bowl.
ReplyDeleteAnything car by seems to lift my spirits. Read: bread
Hehe
Carby, typo
ReplyDeletei thinking of you today! i was trying to grill a turkey and kale brown rice tortilla wrap. it cracked in a bunch of pieces. curses!!!! i don't know how you do it :)
ReplyDeleteLately my feel good food has been pineapple and dates stuffed with peanut butter... can't get enough of either! :D
ReplyDeleteAn edible bowl = AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteI haven't had taco salad in way, way, way, waywaywayyyy too long!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you've been feeling so down lately! If you ever want to chat, just shoot me an email. :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks so delicious! It would definitely do the trick of cheering me up!
I love warm carbs- the ultimate comfort food! Sorry you're feeling blue. I hope you feel better soon!

Oh YUM! I don't even like salad...and now I'm seriously craving yours. When I'm sad I make a pot of mint tea from my sister-in-law's garden.
ReplyDeleteBaking cookies is my favorite pick-me-up!! But your salad looks good too!
ReplyDeleteThat taco salad looks REALLY yummy!!
ReplyDeleteMexican food is always good. I know what you mean though... I haven't been feeling my best either. Spring is almost here, don't worry!
ReplyDeleteI cannot eat tempeh raw for some reason, I cannot stand it. I wish I like it...

I love your taco bowls :) My fave things to eat when I'm feeling down are chocolate and carbs ;) Mac and cheese...yum.
ReplyDeleteThat looks SO satisfying!!!
ReplyDeleteI typically reach for pasta when I need something comforting ... or soup.
I've never tried tempeh..How does that taste like? The bowl looks yummy btw :D
ReplyDeleteDon`t you just love taco bowls!
ReplyDeletexo
I was thinking the same thing today! feeling bluer than blue... must be the weather. I would do anything to be lying in the sun on the beach right now (with that taco bowl!) :)
ReplyDeleteHow in the world do you make the taco take a bowl form? So cool!
ReplyDeleteMost of the time I lose my appetite and can't eat when I'm sad but sometimes chocolate will appeal to me. Typical girl. ;)
mac n cheese
