My Raw, Vegan Kitchen: Big Macs

I've been waiting for this meal all week! I wanted to end Raw Week with a bang. So the "Big Matt" - Matt Amsden's version of a Big Mac is basically a dehydrated nut loaf burger with all the fixings - lettuce, pickles, tomatoes, onions, sunflower seed cheese, ketchup and mustard. And it was amazing! Again, I used the flax seed pita rounds instead of my homemade onion bread - so a little cheat, but it was worth it. I loved it. At this point, I think Chuck is just humoring me. I think everything tastes so amazing to me because I haven't eaten the processed foods I'm used to since February. So these flavors and textures are just heavenly to me.

I started running again yesterday - 1.3 miles. My plan is to run Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays in preparation for our UTR team 5k in Newark on June 3. The rest of the days - Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays are dedicated to yoga. No weigh in tomorrow - I'm waiting for May 5 in hopes that I even out and start to lose again. No need for mental anguish because of the numbers on a scale!

I start cooking again tomorrow! Steamed "cheesy" broccoli is on the menu.
