Taco Night

Every night should be TACO NIGHT in my books...

Gluten Free Corn Tortillas are my go-to choice for taco shells

Corn tortillas, lean ground beef, mild salsa...

Shredded marble cheese, spicy refried beans, lettuce, tomato, and red onion

Stuff that taco good

Delicious

One of my favorite meals that, although a pain to prep, is well worth all the effort

Sorry for the lack of posts lately. Life has been getting in the way 

of blogging but I promise there will be more yumminess to come!

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.? 

Salad, Selfies and Salmon

We all have those random mornings where you wake up early feeling pumped,
ready to take on the day. These are the days I fuel with Bacon, Eggs, and Toast!

After a 20 minute hike, 10 minute jog, and a random set
of push-ups and yoga postures, I am feeling strong and fit

For lunch I packed on the protein to make a Chicken and Green Pea Salad

It was so good, with red onions, tomatoes, cucumber, lettuce, and Italian Vinaigrette 

The afternoon was spent smoking in the backyard,
enjoying the sunshine and crisp fresh cool autumn air

Ground that keeps me grounded ;)

#selfie!!! This sort of brings up a point about blogging. I've spent 

the last 4 years taking selfies for Snacking Squirrel and have no

 shame in continuing the tradition. I am sure most of you would like

to see how I look, especially through all my various transformations

Dinner was a Wild Salmon Salad Wrap made with a Brown Rice Tortilla

Tucked inside was spring mix lettuce

Questions: Do you take selfies for your blog?
 How do you feel about taking self photos?
Have they helped with your self-esteem or not?

Breakfast Quesadillas

Regardless of how lazy I may feel, I always try to

 make my food visually appealing with plenty of color

In one pan, I scramble 1 egg and 3 egg whites with diced red bell 

pepper and scallions. In a separate pan, I warmed a broken flour 

tortilla with a slice of Kraft cheese melting on top, with black pepper

This is my version of a healthier and less-cheesy breakfast quesadilla

By warming the tortilla in a pan, the outside gets 

toasty, providing some nice crunch when you bite in

Questions: Do you like quesadillas? 

What ingredients do you like to put in yours?

Back to Basics

I haven't been as creative with my meals lately; I've been sticking to the basics...

Such as Scrambled Egg Breakfast Wraps

1 whole egg and1/3 cup egg whites scrambled together with 1 cup spinach, 

1/8 cup sauerkraut and diced red onion, tucked into a brown rice tortilla

 Then I grilled it in the George Foreman

When I'm feeling indecisive, I will opt for a "liquid lunch"

A deliciously healthy Green Smoothie 

I go a little crazy with the ingredients I toss in these. This one consists of 

green food powder, brown rice protein powder, hemp protein powder, 

banana, dates, red maca powder, kale, spinach, and a touch of lemon juice 

A prescription for good health!

Of course for dinner I am still enjoying my sweet potato dishes!

Sweet Potato and Tofu Vegetable Bake

White sweet potatoes, purple yams, cubed tofu, leeks,

 broccoli, baby bok choy, mushrooms and zucchini

Seasoned with thyme, rosemary, sage, paprika, coriander,

 chili flakes, cinnamon, lemon juice and apple cider vinegar

Then I placed it into the oven at 390 Fahrenheit for about an hour
