Meat is SO superfluous

BBQ Tofu Sandwich with carrot & mixed greens. Can't see the avocado, but it's there.
It's so easy to forget that people eat animals. Really. When you eat like we do, and when you think about food as much as I do - Real Whole Plant Foods that are yummy - it's kind of sad when you're reminded there are folks out there who just have some chicken or a hamburger and think they're getting a good meal. *sigh*. This sandwich was lunch last Thursday. It was so filling and delicious. Whole grain bun, a tons of vegetables layered in there, and two little slices of BBQ tofu. I love this kind of sandwich.

So yes, we began the BBQ season last week. What a lovely, lovely day it was!
Please pardon this image. It was my second plate when I remembered to take a pic. Sue me.
I rode my bike home from work last Wednesday, and we whipped up some BBQ fast & furious. Boy, was it ever good! BBQ tofu on the grill, asparagus, pineapple, and a big salad with brown rice, tomato, greens, shredded carrot, walnuts, and probably some other vegetables I'm forgetting. It was warm enough to eat outside and we all chowed down. You can see Ruby diving into her seconds behind my plate!

Trillium school lunch last Wednesday!
I'm a bit behind keeping you posted on the lunches. It's going GREAT! Today (Monday the 23rd) we did "hot lunch". Lentil marinara with macaroni, organic greens & cucumer salad, and apples. Sorry I don't have a photo! We served 115 kids!!! There were several who came back for seconds, thirds, and a couple for fourths. I am not kidding. It was awesome.

This pic is from last week. Hummus, veggies, pita, fruit, and leftover chickpea salad sammies. The kids are gobbling up yummy plant foods and loving it. It's so exciting!!

Here's to giving a damn my lovelies!

  2. I could have written this word for word:

    "It's so easy to forget that people eat animals. Really.

    I mean, I'm immersed in food all the time, I even have a membership at a food co-op where they do sell meat, so I see people purchasing and eating meat all the time. But how quickly I forget when I'm cooking my own plant-based diet!

    That BBQ tofu sandwich looks amazing. I know what I'm having for dinner one night this week! :D
