[Sorry, I couldn’t resist. Rather PETA friendly, no? 😉 ]
I almost forgot about Katy + Michelle’s Vegan-4-A-Day challenge this morning. I was just about to fry up an egg when it popped in my brain.
So pumpkin oatmeal shall have to suffice.
It did.
- 1/2 cup pumpkin [Libby’s!!!]
- 1/2 cup oatmeal
- 1/2 banana
- water
- pumpkin spice
- agave syrup
Licked the bowl in fact.
Lonchi was a little harder.
I reeeeaaaallllly [yes that bad] wanted my leftover tuna salad. But I packed black beans instead. I didn’t really want them cold, so I made a makeshift black bean burger on the spur of the moment.
Messy bowl of Heaven.
- salsa
- black beans
- romaine
- ketchup [it was vegan!]
After scarfing that down I boot scoot n’ boogied over to the barber shop. Ok, not really the barber shop. It’s a legit hair salon where I get my locks trimmed. I ♥ my hairdresser. Seriously, if you are in the area and need a hair stylist, convo me. [Convo me?!?! Regretsy much?] She has been doing my hair for 2+ years now. That’s longer than my longest romantic relationship. She informed me that I had not gotten my hair cut since August 11th! I did a little researching of my own, and guess what? She was right! I guess that’s why I’ve been sporting Medusa-like locks for the past month and a half.
It’s looking much better now!
I’ll have to do something about that camera in my face later. Also we may need to do something about the lighting in our bathroom at work. Fugly, it is.
Handy dandy fact. There is a Starbucks within spittin’ distance of my hair salon. I picked up a peppermint mocha for my coworker and a soy misto for meself. I’m nice like that.
New love.
And I noshed on a pear.
Juicy.
After work I ran to the gym and ran on the treadmill. 6.2 sweaty miles later, I was done! True fact: My feet have been hurting me pretty badly since my long run Saturday, but I didn’t want to complain about it on here. I figured with me being sick that was enough complaining from the peanut gallery. Anyway, I was a bit worried about it, perhaps overly so. Good thing for me, my run today was lovely. It felt like a little massage on my feet the whole time. LOVE.
I was struck with a dilemma for dinner.
What was quick + vegan? And then I saw the shiny lights of Chipotle!
[Insert generic picture of Chipotle sign here]
Vegetarian Burrito Bowl, you shall be mine!
- rice
- black beans [twice today!]
- corn salsa
- regular salsa
- guacamole
- lettuce
History. I tucked that away in about 5 seconds.
So there you have it ladies + gents! My vegan eats for the day, plus the added bonus of my new haircut.
And that’s a wrap!
[Disclaimer: I am not, nor do I plan to become a vegan in the near future. This was just for fun!]
Interesting recipes. My human should use them, but…. If you decide to cheat a little bit and eat those eggs try my latest post recipe “Something special in the morning” – It’s sandwiched in between some laughs. http://www.sandysays1.wordpress.com
Omg who is that little guy that your pear is resting on? I need him!
Donald Miller came to my town tonight — thank you for blogging about it or I might have missed him. He was so honest, so real (as opposed to “health and wealth” gospel — blech.) I loved his thoughts on narratives, embracing conflict, the fall and the “Peter and Paul infomercials for Jesus.” Can’t wait to read his new book once school simmers down! Thanks again for sharing!
As always, your haircute looks adorable! 🙂
oo i love yo vegan meals!
I’ve did Vegan Thurs for a month, I may jump back on the wagon and do Vegan for once a week as well. Great eats today, I had me a Chipotle bowl as well.
Beautiful haircut! Must be great for running! I love my long curls, but they can be such a nuisance during a run.
You look GORGEOUS!!! Love that ‘do!
Ooh it’s almost 1am. Are any Chipotle’s still open?
Sending my love 🙂 xoxo
I want your hair, I want your camera, and I want your dinner. Thank you for posting and thanks for the support.
I love/despise you for introducing me to Regretsy. I have lost too many hours to that dang site. And now I’m a fan on Facebook, so…
Love the title of this post — and so do my mongrels. My kitty is currently butting my head with her head and making it tough to type. The early hour isn’t helping.
I think you know you are the wind beneath my wings for taking part in #VeganWeek. I can’t believe a little idea from a couple of bloggers turned into something so big. Bless the Internet.
Great job on the vegan challenege. I just had Chipolte for the first time the other night. HOLY CRAP it was AMAZING! 😉
You look lovely and your hair looks beautiful!
Your new hair cut is so cute! Very chic 🙂 I miss my hair stylist! One day she’s there and then POOF she’s vanished into thin air 😦 Lol. I will recover one day!
Your hair looks fabulous!! I still haven’t had Chipotle – it always looks scrumptious though! Well done with your vegan eats 🙂
You are so cute, lady. 🙂
what a purrtty hair cut!! love the short style
New hair looks great! So did that breakfast!! I picked up some organic agave nectar this week, gonna give it a try tomorrow!
i think your vegan meals look great 🙂 and your hair is so cute!
I love it Whit! I think I may like your hair better than mine. I like that your part is more off to the side – I think I am going to try that with mine!
You are gorgeous, darling!
Great vegan eats! Love the new haircut 🙂
YAY for a day of delicious vegan food, everything looks so delicious. I’ve never been to a Chipotle (don’t have them here in Saudi) but I wish I could, it looks like a great place for a quick meal. Your hair looks so sleek and gorgeous, great cut!
Being vegan can definitely be super yummy! Love the haircut too. 🙂
great job w/ going vegan for the day!
love the chipotle!

Good for you!
Wow! What a website. You have a real knack for making a blog readable and easy on the eyes. I can’t wait to try out some of the recipes you have here (after a trip to the market to get the ingredients). Cooking is one of my favorite things. I love making meals for the family. I don’t have time to read everything on your site right now, I found your site while I was looking for something else on Google, but I’ve bookmarked your home page and will visit again soon to see the latest articles. Click here if you’d like to check out my site. Keep up the great work, and bon appetit!
