Last evening- dinner at a steakhouse. Not my idea, but my husband is a carnivore and he got a gift certificate for his birthday. I checked the menu ahead of time and found a couple of vegan items on the menu. I planned to order a salad entree, but when I saw the butternut squash mini quinoa burgers on the menu, I caved. The listed ingredients were all vegan, however as I was eating this yummy dish, I noticed a creamy, buttery substance at the bottom (I am thinking herbed butter). And what is the takeaway? Lesson #1: Always ask if a dish is vegan or prepared in butter when ordering- lesson learned.
Today (Day 3)- Was in full on lazy mode- back to work after 5 days off for the holiday. Also, MIL's birthday brunch at a local restaurant. I ordered a beautiful tofu scramble with veggies made with olive oil. However- Lesson #2- assume that butter will be put on your toast and ask for dry toast. I didn't eat my toast. I felt guilty that I was being so wasteful.
The rest of the day was uneventful food-wise. I need to exercise and I need to make sure to use some of the veggies in my fridge tomorrow...
