Expired Sushi and Salad Lunches

Considering it's the 19th today and this sushi says, "Best Before

 March 18th", it was fairly fresh. Sometimes I buy food and forget 

about it in the fridge for a couple days, I'm sure I'm not the only one...

Vegetable Combo with Brown Rice

I usually go for the imitation crab or California Rolls 

but opted to keep it simple with avocado and vegetables

I think I just love the black sesame seeds for added decoration ;)

Like I said, it was still fresh and moist regardless of being past its expiration date

Same went for my "Hail To The Kale" vegan salad. A little 

bit past its due date but crunchy and vibrantly full of flavor

Question: Do you eat food past its expiration date? 

Monkeying Around

I love sushi for breakfast, it comes in second to chocolate :)

Brown Rice Vegetable Combo with Imitation Crab Lettuce Wraps in Tapioca 

Paper, alongside Roasted Chicken Breast, Sauteed Kale, Red Onion, and Leeks

Protein-packed with healthy carbs to fuel my day

The other day I found this while at Value Village

My monkey toque that I am now obsessed with

Look at that face! Awe

My lunch looks more like it should have been my 

breakfast, but who says we should follow the "rules"

Scrambled Tortilla with whole eggs and egg whites, kale

 and onion, a dash of garlic powder and squirt of mustard

Oh and tomato, all tucked tucked into a brown rice tortilla

Mighty delicious and so simple, just how I like my meals

Let's switch over to dessert shall we?

Dessert for Dinner? I think so!

And inside an empty bowl of noodle soup? Yup!

A cup (I ate some while photographing) of Soy Ice Cream 

with Gluten Free Chocolate Fudge Cake and Vanilla Cake

Definitely not Soybean Noodle Soup, but way tastier ;)

Questions: Do you switch up your meals too? Do you

 have Breakfast for Lunch or Dinner for Breakfast etc.? 

Bento Express

I don't think there's ever a time when I'm not in the mood to eat sushi

Sushi is one of the most versatile foods, a sufficient 

alternative to any breakfast, lunch, dinner or snack

The Fuji Combo from Bento Express, purchased from Safeway

The Fuji Combo contains 10 pieces; 3 California Rolls, 3 Spicy

 California Rolls, 2 Shrimp Nigiri and 2 Smoked Salmon Nigiri

The California Rolls contain avocado, imitation crab, cucumber, 

mayonnaise, nori seaweed, white rice and black/white sesame seeds

And the Nigiri Rolls consist of packed cylinders of white

 rice topped with either smoked salmon or cooked shrimp

I don't use the soy sauce but I love eating the 

wasabi and pickled ginger slices with my sushi

Question: Which condiments do 

you like to put on your sushi, if any?

Maple Pecan Cereal and Vegetable Sushi

The combination of Maple, Pecans, and crunchy 

Oat Granola Clusters sounds luscious, doesn't it? 

Nature's Path Organic Flax Plus Maple Pecan Crunch Cereal

And a source of Omega-3 fats

When I saw this cereal on sale, I picked up a box and was delighted

 to find a substantial amount of hefty Granola Clusters and Pecans

"Nutty, Sweet & Honest"

Made with Organic Flax Seeds, Maple Syrup, Pecans, and Oats

Nutrition Facts per 3/4 cup

I added the cereal to a bowl of plain yogurt and blueberries

The maple and pecan aroma is so powerful that it's hard not to

 stick your nose into the cereal box, like incense for the nostrils!

The Maple Pecan Crunch comes in a close second to my other

 favourite Nature's Path Cereal, the Pumpkin Flax Plus Granola

I came home for lunch, bringing take-out sushi with me 

"Ready to Eat" Brown Rice Vegetable Combo Sushi 

Does anyone else think it's crazy that this sushi was $5.49

 plus tax? But when you're hungry, money doesn't matter!

WASABI! Love that stuff. I also like the 

Ginger but didn't bother with the Soy Sauce

Carrot, Cucumber, Avocado, and Nori Seaweed tucked inside the Brown Rice

Close up of the condiments

Someone is getting better at their chopstick skills ;)

Questions: Do you spend more money on food 

when you're hungry? Are there any purchases you've 

made lately that you realize you paid too much for?
