Beyond Meat

Guys. THIS SHIT IS BOMB! I could eat these patties daily.

I wasn’t in the mood to do a whole lot of prep so I threw some Worcestershire sauce on these puppies with a little sprinkle of my favorite seasoning and asked my husband to stir them around a bit before he tossed them on the grill.

They have a sweet scent, nothing at all like I was expecting. The texture is pretty close to ground beef once they are cooked, however fresh out the package the reminded me a bit like a patty of soft cheese.

I enjoyed these more than I would like to admit. Next time I’m going to prepare them just like a real hamburger. Maybe some vegan cheese, fresh veggies, and vegan mayo! Mmmmm. I highly recommend these to anyone!

I’m stuffed.
Sweet dreams, y’all.

Quick Update – Day 13

Time to get personal.

Time to put it ALL out there.

🙈🙊

Yeah, I know. Disgusting.

By this time next year that first number will be a one. Mark my words.

Cravings:

I had a small craving today for some meat but I managed to smack it in the face with fresh guacamole. All in all though, I’ve been feeling pretty great. After having a small procedure earlier this week to help clear an ear issue that’s been bringing me down for well over a month – I’m finally feeling like myself again, better though! I haven’t been craving any dairy at all. Nope, not even cheese. Since I haven’t had nearly as much of a problem with angry guts as I usually do, I’m finding that I don’t even want dairy.

Medications:

I’ve cut down taking Prilosec from 2 a day to 1 every other day. My indigestion has almost disappeared and I’m pretty sure if I would lay off the spicy foods I could get rid of it. I haven’t used my prescription face wash, shampoo, and steroid cream in over a week. My face is no longer going back through it’s teenage phase!

Skin:

That’s right, no more oily & itchy skin on my scalp or my face. The stress sores that I develop in various places all over my body have started healing much more quickly and I’ve only seen 2 pop up over the past 2 weeks. Usually I’ve have upwards of 3+ per week that take weeks to heal.

Beans, Beans, The Magical Fruit:

The amount of black beans I’ve consumed over the the past 13 days has taught me that I can play yet another instrument! (This gas is LEGIT. Recently I’ve heard octaves I didn’t know I could hit!)

That’s all I have for you guys for today.

Bonne Nuit.

Is that Taco Bell?

Lunch time! That might just be the most filling lunch I’ve had since I started! What an amazing treat. Sure, I missed the cheese, but the black beans did a great job of adding protein and flavor. Delicious.

Go for the crunch wraps. Trust me. So good. Add a bit of mild sauce and guacamole and you’ll be set!

Tofu?!

Leave a comment

This was lunch today. Tokyo Joe’s. I really love their bowls so I decided to try one with tofu. Hmmm. Everything was super tasty except I just couldn’t quite make myself love the tofu chunks. They looked like chicken, but when you stab it on your fork it just feels like you’re stabbing firm banana pudding.

I think the key to this might be that I should add more foods that are crunchy. The water chestnuts were the only things with a real “bite” factor in this bowl. I felt like I was just eating mush and I found it a bit unsettling that avocado was much more firm than my tofu “chicken” chunks. (Okay, maybe more than a bit.)

I’m still not sold on the whole tofu thing. I think I’m gonna have to keep trying different dishes with this stuff. Does anyone have any tips on how to cook it where I might actually learn to love it?

Time for bed.
Bonne Nuit.
