Healing Lentil Cabbage Soup + What I Eat in a Day #6

9/1/2016

I am excited to bring another edition of What I Eat in a Day, or truly what WE eat in a day as this reflects what my husband and I ate. This edition features...

a Tomato Herb Tofu Scramble for breakfast loaded with vegetables, spices, herbs and tofu. For lunch we had Balsamic Roasted Root Veggies over Quinoa and Sprouts with Artichoke Hearts on Top, a Loose Leaf Chia Tea Latte for a treat and then Healing Lentil Cabbage Soup for dinner. I was hesitant to record because I needed to go to the market, but thought it would be fun to show what I came up with using a random mix of vegetables that needed to be used. Use what you have on hand and add your favorite spin. The PDF is attached with the recipes for ease. To your health, Christa
