Midweek Munchies

It's that time of the week again!

A while ago there was a massive special on Daiya Mac & Cheese at The Green Edge. In general, bought mac and cheese just never quite hits the spot. But I feel like Daiya is the best one of the bunch, with their alfredo being the best. I hadn't tried this variety before. It was fine, I didn't get much of the herbs and it is really hard to know what 'four cheese' really brings to the flavour.

I found this fun pear, and I don't remember what it was called. But I liked the look of it. I liked the taste of it too!

I love baked potatoes, but I don't like how much time they take to cook. This winter, I rediscovered the joys of the potato button on my microwave. I am mere minutes away from a cooked whole potato. Sometimes I just smash it, top it, and eat it like that. But other times I will open it up and pop it under the grill (broiler for my US friends) to get a bit crispy. This one was topped with spinach, baked beans, avocado, and bac'n bits.

This was a blueberry bagel that I toasted for breakfast one morning. One half is spread with peanut butter and cinnamon, and the other half has some Fenn smoked sesame cheese on it. I love the combination of fruity bread and cheese.

Another lovely breakfast I made was another baked potato covered with scrambled tofu (no recipe, using up a Cruelty Free Shop scramble seasoning I have), spinach, ketchup, and bac'n bits. Also with a lovely persimmon, and a glass of oat milk.

Finally, some jerky snacks I saw at one of the many Asian grocery stores near me. I didn't buy any (yet), but it was cool to see them labelled vegan.

Singlay


I go to personal training once a week, and my PT currently has her dad's cat staying with her. My normal training session is too early for miss Singlay to be out and about, but last week I had to change days and to a later time, so I finally got to meet this lovely girl.

  1. I don't think I've tried Daiya mac & cheese yet. I agree that in general boxed mac and cheese is really underwhelming, so I stopped buying it. But that's good to know about the alfredo in case I'm ever in a pinch.

  2. I've had that roasted jerky!! It's really good! Also, how have I never thought to top a baked potato with scramble. That sounds so good!

  3. I'm not a huge fan of daiya's mac n cheese but I agree that the Alfredo is the best of the bunch. Your breakfasts look soooooo good. I always say I need more tofu scramble in my life but never make it. The baked potato looks great too, I always forget about loaded baked potatoes.

    1. I love baked potatoes because you can really put anything on them. They are a great way for using up little bits of leftovers.

  4. Your baked potato looks so good, and peanut butter and cinnamon sounds like such a lovely topping for a blueberry bagel!

  5. I always forget I can cook veggies in the microwave! I should do this with potatoes because I hate baking them for whatever reason.

    1. Baking them takes forever! I am so pleased I remembered the microwave. Makes it so much easier and so much faster.
