Exams are calling me! Taking Stats tomorrow morning – yikes!
Tonight’s dinner was simple and yummy.
Shrimp Po’Boys (minus the fried part) = shrimp + sauteed peppers + avocado + dijon mustard on a sprouted bun
Plus Robin Miller’s Asian Broccoli Slaw. Broccoli slaw is found near the packaged stir-fries (near the bagged spinach and lettuce) in my grocery store. Already chopped and ready to go, you can’t get much easier! We followed the recipe pretty closely, reducing the sesame oil a bit and adding cilantro. We used Tamari instead of soy sauce (a new purchase that I like much more). More info on Tamari.
The sandwich was hard to eat but delicious!
All together –
This dinner was about 375 kcal, 15 grams fiber and 24 grams protein.
Afternoon Snack
Gotta love pumpkin bread and hot tea to warm me up on this frigid day! I put a little Smart Balance on the pumpkin –
I hope to get to comments tomorrow during lunch. See you guys after this exam is O.V.E.R!

Romina says
Tamari’s a great choice. When I switched to it, I immediately noticed the better flavor, and best of all, it’s lower in sodium and less processed!
Ally says
That slaw looks really great!
Good luck on your exam, I’m sure you’ll do great!
Ashley says
Good luck on your test tomorrow I am so gald all my midterms are over!
Betsy says
what a cute picture!!
i’ve always wanted to try broccoli slaw but I’ve never seen it at my local awful grocery store. Maybe I’ll request it!
Megan says
mmmm, the asian slaw looks and sounds delish! I wanna try it! I’ve never heard of tamari before but now I’m intrigued about it!
Kath or anyone else–have you tried the Bragg’s AminoAcids stuff that’s supposed to be soy sauce like??? Which is better?? Braggs or tamari?? I LOVE soy sauce, but if there’s something that’s healthier and better for me, then I’m all for it!!
p.s. good luck on your test tomorrow!! 🙂
Lauren says
You are so cute! 🙂
Cara says
That looks absolutely amazing. I think shrimp will definitely be in the shopping basket this week 🙂 Mmm.
Kelly T says
You always come up with clever things, I dont know how you do it. I recycle through the same two meals, and thats including breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Karen says
That looks delicious! Hope you do well on your exams tomorrow!
Courty says
Kick some stats butt, Kath!
Nikki says
Kelly T – lmao! I do the exact same thing! I’m trying to be a bit more creative, but its hard on a college budget and being in Australia studying, where I don’t recognize half the stuff in the grocery store!
good luck, Kath!
Katie says
Dinner looks wonderful. That sandwich is HUGE! lol. It makes me *almost* want to forget the fact that I decided not to cook dinners this week. 🙂
VeggieGirl says
what a great, comforting dinner; and of COURSE the pumpkin bread looks scrumptious (you must find that maple-butter to have with it!!)
best of luck on your exam today!!! you’ll rock it!! :0)
Kath says
Megan,
I haven’t heard of Braggs but I love the tamari. It’s got a lot more flavor than soy sauce just by the smell alone.
