1/2 one large sweet potato, sprinkled with cinnamon
1/2 c. black beans
about 2.5 c. steamed broccoli and kale
with maybe a tablespoon of the Asian dressing added over the greens - this really MADE the meal.
I realized that prescribed side to the potato was sauteed greens - implying the use of an oil - and my steamed greens where lacking precisely that. Looking to get the most out of those greens, I wanted to add some kind of fat - thankfully that delicious Asian dressing was leftover in amplitude.
"Dessert" was 1 c. of sliced strawberries - a perfect sweet, tart finish.
It was a nice surprise how filling the sweet potato was. I think I don't bake them like that because of the time involved, but I'd like to. They don't get nearly as sweet and caramelized just steamed. And there's something satisfying and self-contained in a whole (or in this case half) potato - like a sandwich, the portion size is kind of inherent in its form. You are visually concluding your meal as you eat up your potato.....Plan for tomorrow AM:
5:30 get up
water + lemon
1/2 banana
go to spinning
7:30 home, shower & get ready
8ish leave, pick up a BeQu juice on the way
9ish arrive at work
rice cake w/ almond butter
(eat lunch either around 11:30/noon at edison, or 1 at free arts.... we'll see how hungry I get!!)
