some days i am a winner at this domestic goddess role, some days not. i am happy to report that today i'm on top! it was one of those days where everything falls together, good naps, good attitudes, and the right mix of ideas and motivation.
the real key in my self satisfaction today was our meals. i had a good portion of alone time this morning where i actually made good use of the time (read: didn't browse the internets). i made a big batch of rice for the week and a big pot of red lentils. this is always a good thing. i'm never that good at the whole big meals/leftovers thing but every time i do it right, i wonder why i don't do it more.
anyhow, lunch ended up being a healthy and delicious plate of brown rice topped with fresh local asparagus and veggie italian sausage. i sauteed the asparagus with sea salt and walnut oil. fabulous.
so then i saved the lentils for dinner. i may have overcooked them, or maybe they are just mushy. i don't know because this is the first time i cooked them. they were pretty much a pile of mush, delicious mush, but mush nonetheless. so i decided they would be perfect for veggie burgers. no mashing required!
we threw in a few things: some vidalia onion, soy sauce, veggie juice, a clove of garlic, egg and enough flour to make it seem like it would hold together. we fried them up and they ended up being a bit more pancakey than burgery, but they tasted great.
i put them on top of some lettuce with seasoned rice vinegar on it (i love you sushi su!) and topped them with some avocado and a blob of pesto. healthy hippy goodness.
now, after that low cal, low fat, high fiber dinner, i think i'll treat myself to a bedtime bowl of bee's cocoa crispies.
