Sábado 27 de Octubre del 2018 - Chiang Mai, Thailand
Ok so, Sleeping last night was such a task, even though I was SUPER tired. I was able to fall asleep for like an hour or so and then ... wide awake and I wasn't even raving or on anything 🤣😂😂 ... get it? 😝
Kept tossing and turning, super uncomfortable and kept thinking... ok well... pay attention, something might be coming through... I don't wanna fucking pay attention! LOL I wanna sleep! HAHAHA... I read a while back than when you wake up like that, there is a message coming, so pay attention... that was just my stubbornness because I was already in bed and COMPLETELY jelly D was so peaceful asleep! 😂 Oh Lordy... so I fell asleep and then it happened again, then I finally fell asleep and it was the greatest, super peaceful. However, I did wake up super tired.
Meow, not sure if the not sleeping thing is the detoxing of carbs and sugar or what... so, I guess I'll keep observing... not I guess.. I'll observe 😉
After writing my morning pages and meditating lazily (truly, rather than sitting down, I laid down listening to a Lakshmi mantra and chanting it within 🤗 ... better than nothing), I made a breakfast shake:
Half of a small avocado, almond milk, Peanut Butter, vanilla extract, cinnamon, cocoa powder, a tsp of MCT oil, half of a tbsp of coconut oil! 😍😍 topped it with some cinnamon, cacao and little pieces of 99% dark chocolate, no sugar... YUUUUMSSS.
I thought about making the Matcha Latte again BUT when I eat or have so much of one thing, I get bored with it and stop liking it... and that will not be the case with my dear Matcha! 🤗😂 that being said, I did make some tea, Mint tea 😍😍😍 and of course put some coconut oil in it for 😋 and a bit of Monkfruit Sweetener! ✌
SOOOO... 😝 ... after an amazing time at an Arboretum (added a new world in my English vocabulary lol English is my 3rd language and the hardest one for me to learn), hugging trees and playing like a child hehehe came back to make lunch!
The debate was among, pancakes with ice cream and chocolate syrupish thing, pizza OR tacos... we chose tacos 🤗
So here we are:
🌷Sautés red bell peppers and spinach with garlic, onions and cashews. Salt, pepper, cumin, paprika and garlic powder.
🌷Scrambled tofu with sunflower microgreens. Seasoned with garlic powder, coming, turmeric, cajun seasoning, paprika, salt, pepper and nutritional yeast.
🌷Sautés shroomies with nuts, garlic and onions. Salt pepper, cumin and paprika.
🌷Guacamole. I added garlic powder, paprika, mild Tabasco Sauce (it does have some corn starch, but it's one of the last ingredients and didn't use so much of it anyways, just needed a kick!) and nutritional yeast. Sprinkled paprika on top to make it more fancy LOL
🌷Taco shell? Chinese cabbage!
BAM! 👊✌😝
SUPER DUPER FILLING! so much that SOMEONE (I'll give u a hint... not me lol) is taking a nap while I blog about it before I forget what I put in each dish lol
The thing is... I use my intuition A LOT when I cook, A LOT. I feel that's the key to make good food and good presentations. Weellll... I also went to Architecture school and what was presented had to be pretty much 👌... literally, otherwise we were told so and felt shitty about our work HAHAHA SOOO demanding that field 😂 but its understandable.
Anyways, I did have a bit of that Ice cream I made, because I saw D eating his ice cream and wanted something delish as well... but it was only a couple of little spoons and just made some more Mint tea with coconut oil to help me digest all the deliciousness I ingested hehehe 🤗
I decided to make my own butter, because I can only find margarine here in Chiang Mai and this one brand of vegan butter that I'm not too keen of. PLUS, i looked up a recipe and it looked super simple and I had all the ingredients. 😁🙌🙌 I'm not really a huuuuge fan of butter, but this one is quite good... perhaps because I made it with love 😉 he he AND I wanna make this cauliflower mash that D heard some guy makes it a lot, and of course it requires butter.
I used the recipe from this website 👇
avirtualvegan.com
Also... homemade Cashew Milk. I like using Nut Milk for my smoothies... that being said, I ALWAYS have homemade milk in the fridge and with the pulp make raw desserts 😜 hehe. The amazing thing is that the pancake recipe I used said it tastes WAY better with Cashew Milk! #Score 🤗✌
So it comes dinner time and because I've been craving pancakes and had an emo moment (😂 really haha) decided to make some... ok... so it was SUPER tasty and SUPER filling... HOWEVER... they were super delicate and a pain in the butt to cook hahaha not sure if it was the pan, or because I didn't have baking powder and have to substitute it with yogurt and baking soda AND/OR since it's a Plant Based diet, I used chia seeds eggs instead of actual eggs... which has never given me a problem before... anyways it was delish and it satisfied my craving for pancakes AND they weren't even THAT big... see the pic! 😁
Here we go, pancakes with PB butter on the top layer, topped with the PB Chocolate Coconut Ice Cream I had made, nuts and a little PB on top, because I like making things pretty lol presentation, presentation, presentation. 🤗 I also made an avocado shake that couldn't even finish 😂. For that one, I used, a small avocado, homemade cashew milk, PB, cocoa, pumpkin spice, cinnamon, sunflower microgreens and vanilla extract. 😍😍👌👌💖
Perhaps the "normal" version is "better" HAHHAHA. I'm TOTALLY satisfied with them. Soooo... here is the website for the recipe I used 👇 (did not used chocolate chips that the recipe requires... maybe that's were the "problem" came from?! ... PLOP! 🤣😂😂)
thebigmansworld.com
I am super full, but not to the point that I cant walk, like when I normally stuff myself with pancakes hahaha and let's go back to... the pancakes I made weren't even THAT big.
Ok... pretty happy with the 3rd day progress and with the fact that I am entirely TOO happy with what I have been making that the emo thing stopped! HAHAHA it doesn't have anything to do with the fact that I cried my eyes out! LOL hahaha
Anyways, day... CHECK
Meow, excuse while I go watch a documentary 🤗💜😘🙏
