LOL sorry, I couldn't resist! (I do not own that photo, please nobody come at me for copywrite infringement!!!) I wanted to do something more interactive tonight, rather than me just spewing my thoughts at you (don't worry, you will still get plenty of them LOL). First, let me just throw a quick recipe at you. I made this for a work potluck today and it was DELICIOUS!!!!! I doubled the recipe because I wasn't sure how much it would make... IT MADE A LOT!!!!!!!! I'm going to thin out the leftovers (not the ones that were sitting out all day at the pool!!!!) and make a sauce for my bok choy this week! Anyway, here's the recipe... Cauliflower Hummus: http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/smoky-cauliflower-hummus Okay, onto the "game" (I don't know if this will be fun for anybody but me, haha) Game #1: Guess THe CarbsI hear a lot of people saying they just wing their carbs (and I did for a long time, too, so this isn't an attack against anyone)! But I want to do a little carb quiz and see how many carbs you have memorized! I will be using GOOGLE answers, so it might be SLIGHTLY different if you use a particular brand of something... Anyway, go get a piece of paper and number it 1 through..... 15? I'll wait. Write down how many NET carbs you think are in each food. Got it? Let's go! Let's go!
Got it? Net carbs for each? INTERLUDE TO TRY TO HIDE QUESTIONS FROM ANSWERS.... I heard a song when my brother and I were in Ohio, and a while later it was stuck in my head, but I could NOT FOR THE LIFE OF ME REMEMBER WHERE IT CAME FROM since I do NOT typically listen to rap (this was before I went on a MGK kick...) Anyway, then at Mother's Day he had a playlist on and the song came on and I was like OMG THERE IT IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT WAS DRIVING ME CRAZY FOR DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!! So, the point of this story is, this is my new favorite blog writing song. It has such a good beat, but nonsensical lyrics, so I don't get distracted haha. My brother told me I had to quote the song, though, since it's keeping me writing, so here we go: "brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ah! Panda Panda Panda Panda Panda!" (I think that's the right amount of Pandas....) If you are curious: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NJlUribp3c. CARB COUNT ANSWERS!
Whew! How'd you do? Game #2: Fat Sort!Hopefully you rocked game #1 out of the water! Let's do something a little different for game #2... This one is going to be a FAT SORT. Sort the following 10 foods, IN ORDER, from the food with the MOST FAT first, and the LEAST fat LAST... READY?
INTERMISSION WHILE I LOOK UP THESE ANSWERS ON GOOGLE....Fun story... One time I hugged a baby cow and cried of joy. I love cows. Fat Sort ANSWERS!Fat grams FIRST... sort will come next:
Soooo in order that would be....
Whew! How'd you do! Game #3: Match the ProteinOkay, final game! This one is... match the protein! Easy enough rules... Match the following PROTEIN amounts with the vegan protein sources listed below. Got it? Here are your protein options (in grams)
INTERMISSION WHILE I LOOK UP THESE ANSWERS ON GOOGLE....Okay, here we go!
Soooo if you like those in order.... Vega essentials, almonds, beefy crumble, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, sunbutter, nutritional yeast, kale, and Ripple, hemp seeds. I had intended to write some stuff down here, but I was in the sun today (I sunscreened, don't worry), and I am BEAT. So, I will just say this... hopefully you learned SOMETHING from today's blog and maybe, JUST MAYBE, were entertained for a few minutes. If not, next time I will just go back to my regular, charming self. Actually the next time I will be talking about going back to SOY as a test! DUN DUN DUN!!!! 3 more soy-free days before I can integrate some soy back in! (really, I mostly just want to eat my vegan jerky haha. I have about 10 servings of that jerky, so I will probably do soy for 10 days and see how I feel... I feel really weird thinking about eating tofu again... is that strange? Am I strange?) Until Next time, Folks...See you next time, friends! Same great blog, same great place! As always, so happy to have you here, and I'd love to hear from you in the comments (I think they're below?) Or, catch you in the meantime on IG: vegan_keto_madi Message me on IG at ANY TIME with questions! <3 <3 <3 Vegan Keto Madi
