Hot Bar Summer! Plus, Teriyaki "Chicken," Lady Peas, & Noodles!

Now that I'm back in the office at Crosstown Concourse, it's officially hot bar summer! Curb Market's hot bar always has a few vegan options, and it makes an easy and quick lunch on the days that I'm too busy to leave the building. Yesterday, I got the Veggie Pasta, Buffalo Cauliflower, and Teriyaki Brussels. I can never manage to spend less than $13 on hot bar food though! Those pounds add up!

Paul ordered the Crazy Noodle Vegetarian Soup with tofu from Crazy Noodle on Sunday, but he thought the noodles were too soggy, so he took two bites and told me I could have the rest. I thought the noodles were just fine! So I had this for lunch on Monday.

Paul has been having some health issues lately. He's got perforated diverticulitis, which is caused by a low-fiber, high-fat diet. He's always eaten terribly, despite living with a vegan partner who loves to cook. But at the moment, he seems interested in doing better, so he's eaten what I've cooked for the past two nights! Yay! On Tuesday night, that was Teriyaki Chicken Stir-fry with local green beans and Gardein teriyaki chicken. Paul even ate his brown rice! 

And last night, that was Lady Peas with Cornbread. Paul had never had lady peas before, and he didn't think he'd like them. But he loves black-eyed peas, so I made him try these. And this was a winner too!
