I'm Aliiiiiiive!



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
