spicy chili, burritos, and thai stir fry

This past week, Matt and I have been reliving some of mine (and his) favorite classic meals and snacks, such as the PB&J, grilled cheese, spicy chili with sour cream and cheese, bean & cheese burritos, thai-style stir fry, and even a contemporary twist on the all American breakfast.

I discovered that Van's Gluten and Wheat-Free Blueberry Waffles are exquisite when paired with peanut butter and grape jelly. I couldn't help but have two servings!!

Two waffles are 240 calories and 3 grams of fiber per serving. They are gluten, dairy, corn & egg free, making them a great choice for vegans and celiacs. They do contain soy.

For lunch, my latest (and newest) obsession is chili. I always love chili, especially the canned, vegan varities, but I kind of forget about chili until I see it at the store. It's such a filling option, even for those who aren't vegan or for anyone who is looking for a quick, filling lunch to take to work.

I chose Amy's Spicy (vegan) Chili, Daiya Cheddar Shreds, Vegan Gourmet Sour Cream, and fried Basil Polenta. The only ingredient in basil polenta is corn and basil, and it fries up easily in round sections with a little oil. It's really tasty, too. Below I've included a list of ingredients and nutritional info for Daiya cheese.



Ingredients in Daiya Shreds



The Daiya cheese I think I've mentioned in a previous post - it's actually a soy free, dairy free, gluten free cheese alternative that only contains a minimal amount of ingredients, which I am all for. The less amount of processing a food has been through, the better it is for anyone.

I'm really impressed with this cheese, not only because of it's superior ingredient profile, but also because it is so allergy friendly and incredibly tasty!



Matthew and I also discovered an amazing gluten free, vegan breakfast cafe this morning called Wayward Cafe in the U-District. I order everyone to at least try their menu and taste their Tempeh Bacon and Scrambled Tofu. :)
