Yay! It’s that time again – time for the foodie blog-hop party. Be sure to check out Peas and Crayons to see all the links to everyone else’s WIAW posts. (It’s worth a look; this party’s getting pretty big!)
Snack: Rice Cake (before my early run)
Breakfast: berry protein oats with chia (soooooooo good)
Snack: hard boiled egg and 1/2 cup green beans
Lunch: broccoli slaw and mushrooms in 2 TJ’s low-carb, high-fiber wheat wraps – along with TJ’s guacamole hummus (I wanted to make my own tahini sauce for the wraps, but TJ’s doesn’t sell plain tahini. I grabbed this stuff instead, and I’m impressed!)
Snack: a little chocolate and one of these babies (apple muffin recipe coming soon!)
Side Note***I worked from home in the afternoon, so Leia helped me out as best she could.
Dinner: eggplant & seitan on whole wheat pasta (I guess it was like a mix between caponata and vegan bologonese)
I really liked dinner and am happy for the leftovers tonight. Kevin, on the other hand, is not a fan of seitan. This was my first time making it, but since it was only half a hit, I guess I won’t be posting a recipe for that. Muffins win!
- Have you had seitan? Do you like it?
- Do you eat before early morning workouts?

Big hills… that reminds me of my focus for my next half- UGH.

Your *next* half? You keep busy!

Those broccoli slaw wraps sound amazing! I love TJs for stuff like that!
September 13, 2012 at 7:54 am
Agreed – they’ve got some creative products for sure.

It depends on what the workout is. First and foremost I have to have coffee before ANY workout can be done. If it’s 3-4 miles or less, or a workout dvd, I won’t eat breakfast. If it’s more than that I’ll have a snack or just wait until about an hour or two after a decent breakfast. That way when I finish it’s close to lunch time:-)

Ahhhh, pre-run coffee sounds nice on chilly mornings!

I never eat before my morning workouts. I’m one of those freaks who feels like I work out better on a completely empty stomach (I realize this is probably completely inadvisable, but what can you do). I’ve tried seitan but have never cooked it. I remember liking it, though!

Random…but I love the blue nike top!
September 13, 2012 at 7:56 am
Ha, thanks! I have another just like it in lime green.

I have never heard of seitan. Interesting.
I also never eat before my morning workouts. I wake up, go workout, and eat afterwards. Otherwise I wouldn’t have enough time or would have to wake up even earlier and I’m not down with that.

The mid run miscount sounds so like something I would do! Haha!
And guacamole hummus? I could get on board with that!

I love that first pic! You rock.
I’m a big seitan fan. My seitan chorizo froze so well, and I’m all about something I can make to take to work in an emergency. love the idea of serving it with eggplant!

I make sure to get in carbs and protein before my early morning lifting!
September 12, 2012 at 7:43 pm
I actually have never had seitan. Kind of creeps me out. LOL.
September 12, 2012 at 9:28 pm
I can’t wait to see that apple muffin recipe. it looks delicious!
September 13, 2012 at 12:58 am
Your lunch wraps look yummy!
Have you ever made your own seitan? i made some and marinated it with a little soy sauce. Was so delicious!
September 13, 2012 at 7:58 am
Nope – never made my own. Since this was my first time, I figured I should try it pre-cooked first so that I know if I got it right when testing a recipe. Haha

Whether I eat or not before running in the AM depends on the distance… If it’s a short one, I don’t even drink coffee!
