#2023missionimpossible I ate today a vegan sausage. It tastes like a real sausage, even though it contains no animal ingredients. I have not eaten any meat during this mission. Intermittent fasting is going very well too.

#2023missionimpossible I made a cabbage and an apple salad with nuts using olive oil, vinegar, and grinded sesame seeds. I am working on making/eating small portions at a time. My food consumptions were heavy that I was still eating even though I was full. I am taking this opportunity to be aware of my food habit and to change negative ones to more constructive and helpful ones. I ask myself, "Why am I eating?" "Am I eating to be healthy and sustain or am I using food to release stress and to seek better pleasurable tastes? I used to eat a lot when I was stressed out or felt sad/depressed. I want to find a midway to have a balanced diet.

#2023missionimpossible This is what I have for breakfast most of the time - detox smoothie with apple, fresh squeezed lemon juice, green cabbage, carrots, homemade tomato sauce, and olive oil and black bean smoothie. It may not look that appetizing (and not the best picture of them either :p) but they are surprisingly yummy! 😉

#2023missionimpossible My students gave me flower seeds as a gift and I made twin flower beds using it. I am not good at gardening, but I will give it a try and do hope I can see some bees in a few months.

#2023missionimpossible I had the choice of eating vegan tacos today for lunch but I opted for pollo (chicken) tacos, because I the last chicken tacos I had were AMAZING and just the thought of eating chicken tacos made my mouth water.

#2023missionimpossible I used my own containers as to-go boxes for leftover food. My server said she would love to try it herself to save the planet. 🙂

#2023missionimpossible I made cucumber salad and vegetable pancakes. I am making it with small portions, so it is not wasteful. In addition, I am going to the market after I consumed food which I already had.

#2023missionimpossible My go-to veggie bowl these days with sautéed kale with garlic, brown rice, corns, beans, tomatoes, baby beet roots, chopped onions, and half avocado with homemade cilantro-lime dressing. Yummy! But.. it also made me wonder.. since I use canned corns and beet roots as well as mayo in my dressing, how eco friendly it is.

#2023missionimpossible At a restaurant I made a conscious choice to order “Veggie and Pesto” (+) Egg Benedict (-).

#2023missionimpossible Today’s breakfast, lunch and dinner were almost full vegan (apart from the butter used to prepare the mushroom risotto) however when my partner took the gelato out of the freezer for dessert, the flavour was so tempting that I did not decline! Now I know that ice cream is also one of my weak spots😂
