To Chicken Wing or Not Chicken Wing That is The Question ...

The focus for today was finding treats that non-vegetarian diets typically think to have for say dessert, taming a sweet tooth, or simply to add some decadence to the day!

On the menu for the weekend day was a combination of goodies, and here are a few ...

- Breakfast: Sunny side egg with pita toast, and a fruit/soy protein smoothie

-Lunch: Udon Soup (Japanese Noodle Soup with crab and veggies), green tea, and a side salad with ginger dressing

-Dinner: Italian Wedding Soup minus the meatballs in a bread bowl

-Snacks: Chocolate Soy Pudding, a plum, pretzels, and green tea soy ice cream

Soy Pudding: My initial thought of this pudding was that it had a slightly ethanol-type flavor (I.e. alcohol-ey) The texture was exactly like that of a dairy pudding, and the chocolate flavor was just as intense as a regular pudding. Perhaps it was more on the dark chocolate side of the spectrum, but never the less it was excellent.

Soy Delicious Green Tea Ice Cream: Now that was awesome! And why not add some chocolate sprinkles to really make it feel like an old fashioned ice cream cone. If you aren't familiar with green tea ice cream I suggest giving it a chance. The soy version has very little difference than the dairy version, it isn't too sweet (which is quite difficult to find in a U.S. product), the calories are kept low, and you have the added benefit of having more soy in your diet. Plus a portion of the profit goes to saving Sea Turtles (one of my favorite animals) .

Overall a good day of eating, easy to plan, tasty, and good enough to not want any meat!

Sports Section:

Gearing of for the Superbowl of course. Well mostly the food! Tomorrow will take a bit of creative thinking to come up with an alternative solution to chicken wings. We'll have to wait and see!

Otherwise ...
1-1/2 hours of beautiful yoga with a local group, plus one mile on the tread mill.

Hopefully tomorrow won't be too icy so I can get in a nice outdoor run in (not a fan of the tread mill@
