I meal-planned and then went to the store...I was ELATED to find dried black-eyed peas! I swear I have been looking for them forever. At 20 grams of protein per serving, my belly will be happy too. :) So I came home and had to adjust the plan accordingly...I can't wait to eat them, YUM!!
Hope your week is filled with
much love and good food. :)

Just reading your meal plans make me exhausted. I don't know where you find the time. I manage to do a lot of things, but cooking great meals every day is NOT one of them. It'd probably help if I liked it a little more.
Hey Amanda...
I'm still trying to learn from you. The cucumber hummus sounds good - I wanna try it.
but HELP...
where do I find ground flax seed and tahini?????
Haha...you don't need to learn from me, Moe. :) I just eat weird food. ;) I get my tahini at Whole Foods and it is by the peanut butter on the bottom shelf...it is ground sesame seeds. I'm pretty sure you can get it at any natural food health store as well. You actually have to grind up flaxseeds but i'm pretty sure you can leave them out...let me know if the recipe turns out. I didn't get to make it!
thanks Amanda... I'll have to find a Whole Foods or similar store near me. Shucks that i have to grind the flax seed - was hoping i could buy it ground. i don't have a good food processor.
Thanks again
