Last weekend I took advantage of the fact that I had nothing to do and nowhere to go. So I spent the day doing what I wanted to do. I watched movies and ate! It was just what I needed. I had a Me Day, My Way.
For Breakfast I enjoyed a few Crumpets with Sun-butter and hemp seeds.
For lunch I made a fun and really tasty sandwich. For some reason I have been craving an egg salad sandwich so I made one. Like I said I was having a Me Day. Check out my secret ingredient. Chobani Greek Yogurt. #justaddgood.
I found Organic Pea Shoots at Trader Joe’s, and when I saw them, I knew I had to try them and I am happy to say I loved them! They can be added to stir frys, salads, soups and sandwiches, or steamed as a side dish. I have been wanting to use my Chobani so I thought instead of mayo on my egg salad sandwich I would use my yummy Chobani Greek Yogurt.
It was one fine tasting sandwich. Worthy of repeating on any given day. Cho-Egg Salad Sandwich with Pea Shoots. Other fun Chobani creations can be found here, and here. Oh yeah, and here. Chobani is a great way to add some clean protein to your diet and replace fatty ingredients, like mayo, oil or butter. In the summer I made a few fun dessert dishes using Chobani Greek yogurt. Chobani Cheese Cake, Chobani Frozen Treats.
For a fun snack I ate one of my Homemade Brown Rice Krispy Treats smothered in Sun-butter Yeah, it was a great snack! It was a little salty and a little sweet.
For dinner I ate some baked Black soybean that I marinated in Soy sauce and sesame oil. I however forgot to take a picture of the finished tofu. Oops.. I eat tofu all the time, but this was my first time trying the Black Soybean Tofu. It really soaked up the marinate, and had a great flavor and texture. I wish I had a picture of the finished product, because it was baked to a golden brown and looked really good. I loved the black speckled look of the tofu. I will get a picture….Next time.
My tuna sushi was so good, I was so excited when my Kroger’s store had it, they normally only stock California type sushi. Bonus for my Me Day.
Guess who else had a Me Day? These two. They work so hard all week, they deserve it. 
Question: When was the last time YOU had a ME DAY?
Check Ya Later.
I LOVE tofu, but try not to eat too much.
What’s that nifty little plastic thing you have your tofu sitting in?
That is my favorite kitchen item, its a Tofu Press, it presses the tofu separating the liquid so dump out the water its packed it, then you can marinate it and the tofu absorbs all the marinate and flavor. I also use it for frozen spinach, it presses all the water out of it. I ordered it online at TofuXpress.
Me days are the greatest! Glad you got to enjoy yours.
I need a ME day!! Actually, I’d take a 1/2 ME DAY
My ME time is at 5:15 when I run and everyone else is sleeping. The Brown rice Krispy treats look amazing!
Thank-you I love making my own and freezing them. Great to have on hand
I can’t remember the last time I had a me day! Sounds nice!
Well you certainly deserve ONE!
