What I Eat - Day Twenty-One

Breakfast - My version of Peanut Butter & Banana Sandwiches

Made with soybutter, a banana, and rice cakes.   Soybutter is basically the least healthy alternative to peanut butter, but sometimes I like to splurge on a bottle as a treat.  It really does taste almost exactly the same as peanut butter!

Lunch - Salmon, Avocado, and Quinoa

This dinner was made for me by my Dad, who will be a guest chef soon!  It's baked salmon (with fresh herbs on top), quinoa, Bragg Liquid Aminos, and an avocado.

As a side note, I have a strange obsession with divided plates.   I recently found the above plate at Canadian Tire and I couldn't resist buying a couple!
