chewing on tree bark

did i ever tell you all about how my mom likes to joke about me being vegan? there are certain people in her life that tease her about having a kid that only eats "bark". yeah, as someone who spends so much time hugging trees, it's just more efficient to eat the bark while i am there. i thought about keeping a food journal about what we eat in a week to share with her friends. so, i thought that i would start that journal here on my blog. as readers of my blog, you all know i can be horribly inconsistent about posting on a regular basis. so, whenever i do get a chance to post, i will try to give you an idea of what we ate that day.

the lil babe is still taking in mama's milk exclusively. i will let you all know when that changes but probably not for another month or so. we'll see!

e is a finicky toddler. sometimes she's so busy that we have to really help her eat and other times, i am surprised to see her finish a dish of food on her own. it's more like lots of small snacks or one meal that is eaten over the course of two mealtimes for us adults. she has always had a low body weight but been comfortable with eating food.

Today's Food!
breakfast/morning:
e had a banana and later half a granola bar, some almonds and water.
i had a couple of homemade chocolate chip "mini-scones", as we called them. upon me removing them from the oven yesterday, they looked a bit like a mix between a soft cookie and a muffin but he said they kinds were like scones, just smaller. uh, yummy!

lunch:
e and i shared a garden veggie sandwhich with cilantro hummus, roasted red peppers, onions, lettuce, tomatoes and cucumbers. a bowl of black bean soup and an apple, lemonade and water.

snacks:
a couple more mini scones for me, one for e and two for dad.
e and i split a mock chicken salad sandwhich on rosemary sourdough bread.

dinner:
rigatoni pasta noodles with hubby's homemade tomato-mushroom sauce and vegan sausage.
i had two small cookies that we baked this afternoon.
