I'm baaaaaack!
It's been a long week. A week filled
with a ton of the following: peppermint tea with lemon juice and
agave, popsicles, chocolate chip pancakes, and green smoothies. I've
been kicked in the ass by a brutal virus since late last week, and
I'm finally turning the corner. You know what sucks? Having a crazy
sore throat, earaches, and headaches ON TOP OF a painful crick in my
neck. Needless to say this left me eating some pretty uninspired
meals.
Today I celebrated my renewed health
with some kick ass food. I went back to The Cinnamon Snail.
YAYYYYYYY!
This time I made good on my promise to
try some of their savory menu items. I chose the lemongrass seitan
sandwich, but I'm sure I could have selected anything and I would
have been happy. This grilled baguette had deliciously spiced seitan,
curried cashews, spicy wasabi mayo, arugula, and chili sauce, and I
devoured it as soon as I came home. The cashews added a slight crunch
and the wasabi mayo gave it a kick that helped clear out my sinuses.
I've been cooking a lot of tofu lately so it's been a while since
I've had seitan, and The Cinnamon Snail definitely did not
disappoint. I'm glad that I ate my sandwich in the comfort of my own
home because the chili sauce dribbled down all over my face and I
know that I probably looked crazy and food-obsessed. But it was
goooood.
I didn't go wild with the sweets this
time, but I couldn't walk away from the truck and NOT get dessert.
The donuts just stared at me! So I got another maple glazed coconut
donut and it was just as good the second time around. I don't know
about you guys but whenever I'm sick I just crave sugar, and no
matter how hard I try to subsist on kale, sprouts, and tofu, my sweet
tooth takes over my ailing body and demands that I eat an insane
amount of pancakes and the wonder/horror that is the
single-serve-chocolate-cake-in-a-mug phenomena. Now all that's
left of my virus is a tired spirit, a slight cough, and a raspy voice
that I'm trying to tell myself is sexy. It's really not.
Thanks Cinnamon Snail for welcoming me
back to the land of the living! xoxoxo
