Due to an absolute lack of originality on my part, I am blatantly ripping off both Nancy and Mara's "What are you" threads to make yet another one.
I could have put this in the cooking forum, but I thought it might be nice to have it here and make it broader topic. Still if you think it should be in the cooking forum, I will move it.

The basic idea is to talk about the type of things that you have eaten recently. This can be something you have prepared yourself, a readymade convenience food, or something that you ate out.

If this is something that you cooked yourself, please let us know where the recipe came from, cookbook, etc, if it is your own recipe, by all means please also post it to our recipes section. Your own recipe can even be something as simple as a favorite sandwich that you like to make.

Many of us have very hectic schedules, so by all means talk about how you still try to eat healthy, in regards to work, being in school, or the types of lunches that you prepare for your children to take there.

To get things started, yesterday I prepared Amarath and Apricots for breakfast. This came from Jessica Porter's new macrobiotic cookbook, The Hip Chick's Guide To Macrobiotics. I really liked how the cereal tasted, as it is made with apricots, some apple juice, and a bit of raisins. For lunch I tried out a recipe for an Aduki Bean Spread that comes from the Belleme's new book on Miso, the recipe is right here. I ended up taking the spread, adding it to some whole wheat wraps, along with basmati rice and pressed cucumbers, so I ended up with a sort of Mexican burrito. I also had some nishime squash and sweet potato vegetables along with greens and chestnut puree for dessert. I have posted the purée to the recipes section

Hopefully from this thread we can all get different ideas from each other.
