Meat your maker

In an effort to supplement my new meatless menu, I checked out some meat substitute options at the health food store this weekend, here is what I came away with:

This is a lot I know, it’s not meant to be a weeks worth, this will last me quite a while. I got 2 types of Quorn cutlets, one is filled with cheese the other is plain. I also got some morningstar burgers which I have had in the past and am a big fan of, and some Smart Deli turkey for quick lunches for work.

As I said I really like Morningstar burgers, however I do not think they taste like real meat, so when I tried the Quorn cutlet yesterday I expected to like it, but I was absolutely amazed by how much it tasted like chicken!!! I really don’t think I could tell the difference between the two if I had them side by side, so delish! I haven’t tried the deli meat yet but I’ll let you know how it goes!

In other news, if you have been dying to see what all the fuss is about with Barney Butter, head to their website because they are giving away free samples! I got mine in the mail yesterday

My usual breakfast of banana spinach smoothies got put on hold this morning so I could try this stuff out. I decided I would do it up Kath style and add a packet to a bowl of banana vanilla oatmeal.

Served on the Sorry box :) Bret and I got into a pretty intense game last night, he won one, I won one, we are having the tie breaker tonight…

Back to the BB…I took one bite of this and then immediately put it down, hopped on the website and ordered 2 jars :) It truly is everything it’s cracked up to be, absolutely amazing! It’s different from other AB i’ve tried because of the roasted flavor, to die for!

And just for fun, here’s a few pics from Bret’s bday celebration from  last weekend:

This must have been a good story he was telling ;)

And here’s one of me all swollen when I got my wisdom teeth out hahaIMG_0204

I took this 5 days after my teeth came out so this was after the swelling had reduced considerably, it was so weird to see myself like this!

I’m waiting for this bowl to digest before I head to the gym for a quick 3 miler, then back home to study for a killer biopsych test I have on Thursday! Have a good day!
