Daily Dining - Seared Tofu with Black Bean Salsa

 

This was last night's dinner. I actually did not make this simple yet delicious meal. Sean made this simple meal for us to enjoy. Lately, I have been eating incredibly unhealthy and then two nights ago it hit me that I could not do it anymore. I felt so disgusting eating (buffalo wings) that evening. Sean talked me into starting all over and doing a reset. I am trying to cut down my crappy eating by focusing on healthy food. I am going to put together a weekly menu of the food we eat and hopefully I can add the recipes to it from there.

I love tofu, believe me I do. I can live off of eating this everyday, but it has to be prepared differently. Otherwise, to me it would be eating the same meal everyday. I don't plan on eating or living off of tofu daily, but I plan on incorporating it as a huge part of my diet. My main goal is how many different ways can we cook tofu. How many different ways can we prepare it and serve it?

I am still debating if I should start a new fitness blog or just incorporate it here. Decisions, decisions..

Eating Health-ier

I am trying so hard to make healthier meals at home. Honestly it's a pain in the ass when you're struggling to eat something healthy even though it's so delicious. I love the healthy meals that I make, but sometimes I just want something super greasy and crispy.

Pasta dinner last week

This whole dish is vegan-friendly. I wanted to try a recipe that I found online, but I forgot to save it on my phone. If this is similar to your recipe please let me know so that I can give you credit for it.

This dish is mainly made with garlic, lime, and fettuccine. I added grilled asparagus and soy Italian sausage.

It was yummy and a much healthier alternative than having to go to Macaroni Grill and order something that was +900 calories. I can't even believe how many calories one dish is. It's insane! I want to start jotting down the food that I make and post it here. I think I want to do a weekly update on the meals that I eat throughout the week. I think I'll call it Abby's Good Eats and that's obviously off of Good Eats on Food Network. Except I would have to say that show is a lot more informative than what my future posts may entail. If anything I'll even add the actual recipe to my recipes once I get the chance to sit down and just write about it.

I wasn't sure if any of you knew that I have two recipe's on there right now. For some vegan Siopao and vegan Thai Iced Tea. You should check it out! I'm still looking on expanding my blog once I figure out what my main goal is with my site.

I love eating healthy because it has a ton of benefit and whoever said that healthy food taste's like shit has not had real good healthy meals. I used to have that mentality that healthy food was going to taste disgusting, but I slowly learned to enjoy my veggies like an adult and I even want more! My favorite has got to be asparagus. It's delicious and so easy to cook.I prefer grilling them or just heating them up on a pan and drizzling it with lemon and a little pepper. They go great for almost any dish. I know I can't continue to eat pasta everyday, but I think that the next time I make pasta I'm going to substitute it with whole wheat or gluten-free.

A step into the right direction! Now I have to make sure to stick with it and not fall into eating crap again.
