Some of you may have noticed that I didn’t post any food yesterday. Somehow I deleted all but my dinner pictures (this happened while I was organizing my files – no coincidence). You didn’t miss much – everything was vegan, I worked out for an hour, and I tried the blackened tofu from Eat, Drink, and Be Vegan. I tried baking it instead of cooking it in oil.
That was stupid – it didn’t blacken at all! 
Dreena knows what she’s doing and 1-2 T of olive oil won’t hurt me! Anyways…lesson learned!
Yesterday I had a leisurely morning. I woke up at 5:00, read blogs, and ate one of my favorite breakfasts ever!
WW tortilla with 2 T Naturally Nutty Vanilla Almond butter, lots of pumpkin, and 37 carob chips, grilled on the stovetop. I went to the gym late because I got a ride from Robbie and he is in NO way a morning person! I did 30 minutes on the stair mill plus 20 minutes walking and an ab workout.
AM snack between teaching and classes
I have to take pictures of everything I eat at home because my new camera is colossally huge and doesn’t fit in my bags. You may get natural lighting from me on Sundays! If you read this blog, I doubt it’s for the pictures. 
Lunch was a leftover salad:
Not-blackened tofu and seitan on top of broc slaw and spinach, plus…
Another whole wheat wrap with Sabra garlic hummus! 
FYI – I keep a toothbrush here.
I got off work early yesterday! Oh joyous day! And get this: it was 70 degrees out! Rob picked me up and we rolled down the windows on the drive home. It was absolutley gorgeous.
I sent Andrea a text about the weather, and here was her response: “F*#% you.” She is so jealous it’s cute.
When I got home, Rob wanted to snuggle with me and the cats. I wanted to look at the new J.Crew catalog. We combined these activities and it turned into a major nap for me – like three hours! Oh it felt amazing! I live for naps.
When I woke up, I ate a banana and a date. It was dinnertime so this was kind of a strange choice.
Rob ended up making his own chicken peanut stir fry, and I wasn’t hungry, so I just chilled on the couch for the night. We watched the game and LA INK! I love that show to death! One of my may-juh friends introduced me to it and I’ll be forever thankful. You know who you are.
Before I went to bed, I ate a salad. It seemed like I should!
You know what was the best? Hearing about your favorite features. Our readers have some BEAUTIFUL eyes, lips, cheekbones, hair, and ears even! Thanks to everyone who answered that question. I really hope it made you feel good to stop and think about how beautiful and unique you are!
And of course, I have another question for you. Andrea and I are pretty satisfied with how we blog. We started this blog because we were always into what each other were eating. But now that we have some kick-ass readers, we should probably take into consideration if there’s anything you’d like us to include or take away from this blog. You know? Suggestions.
This is not an invitation to say how awesome we are. We already know. We are not looking for praise.
We love you all!
Your blog IS fabulous though!! I’m praising you, so deal with it
I love your blog just the way it is! It’s amazing and the food always look delicious.
I adore that blackened tofu recipe!!! It’s the best. I don’t even use oil (just non-stick spray) and it always comes out fine.
I am in love with your breakfast tortilla concoction. Pumpkin and nut butter is so good together!
LOVE! (ya, praise, duh) I’m excited about your “not-so-blackened” tofu, even if it’s not how it “should be”, it looks delish!
But y’all, are awesome. Honestly, Care To Eat is one of my favorites. Both you crack me up, and I love all your eats. Keep up the good work.
Bet it was still good with all those spices. 
PS – sorry your tofu didn’t blacken.
Are you sure it wasn’t 38 carob chips
Love the specifics! Sorry about the tofu but it still looks great!
You know I’m all over your blog the way it is girlfriends! I don’t have anything else to say because it’s great the way it is!
ALL HAIL ERIN AND ANDREA!
Whateva, I do what I want!!
ps- garlic sabra!!
i always get a kick out of the number of carob chips you have
and sabra hummus is the best you can buy!
No, when they want pictures they come over to me, naturally.
I can’t think of anything to improve your blog, but I’m a care to eat fan boy.
I honestly think this blog is awesome the way it is! If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it
I like your pics and look forward to them, totally! Whatever you do, don’t get rid of ‘em! Your blog rocks like it’s nobody’s business, so I don’t even know how to possibly suggest improvements! If there’s something you want to try or change, I’m sure we’re willing to go along fo the ride
Grrrrrrl….how could we not praise you?
Still lovin’ the little fish bowl. And LA Ink – although, I think Miami Ink is better
I don’t know that you need to change anything, but I’m always up for more random kitty pics
Don’t change. You ladies are wonderful JUST the way you are. You deserve the praise, DUH!
I have no suggestions (as most above don’t), whatever you decide to do, don’t change it to much I think you 2 are awesome and the blog is so much fun to read.
Still jealous about your weather. After I texted you, a storm came in and it rained like crazy! I hope the weather is good when I’m in Dallas next month!
You need a Misto!
haha you girls are awesome – just wanted to reiterate
i love LA INK too!
seeing your pumpkin reminded me its been a while since i had pb&pumpkin!!!!!
Seriously, your blog is hilarious, easy-to-read and clean & simple. Love it just the way it is!
Did you know that your blog is fab?
Hehe
But really, I can’t think of anything may-juh to add. Would it ever be possible to do a video post? I’d love to see either of you make a vegan meal during your challenge!
And as far as the eats go, I think your tofu looks yummers, blackened or not. And I’m in love with the garlic Sabra! I’ve finished most of the container in 3 days!
I’ve never heard of LA INK. I Googled it and I’m totally gonna check it out!
Jenn – I bet Andrea can! I don’t have a video camera or anything.
You, my dear friend, is why I started my own blog. Like I told you once, you are like the cool popular senior girl and I’m the lowly freshman carrying your books. Do you think the freshman is going to tell the senior that she needs to get a new handbag? Of course NOT!
Actually, if you could have more cat pictures, that would be great =) Hmm…am I being sarcastic or not???
Love you E-Dog!
Did I just say “You..is?” I’s a smart one!
you know how I love reading your blog. Way to improve? I’m particularly interested on seeing a makeup post
As I’m getting older, it’s time to put some make up 
Haha, your blog is wonderful! Love that breakfast!
I’m going to be honest friend…… I <3 your blog, I get excited every time I see a new post!
I think its awesome that you counted each carob chip haha.
Hope you’re having a sweet Friday. What are ya’ll up to this weekend?
I missed you! haha and I totally hear ya about keeping a toothbrush close by when there’s garlic involved…gotta stay considerate right?
Cuddling with cats, a man, and J.Crew sounds like a GREAT way to spend a few hours
I seriously don’t know that there’s anything more I could want from your blog, I just like reading it!
Yay for Friday night!
37 carob chips you are outta control woman! I have loved your bloggie since I was a little lurker in the shadows
Other than including more profanity and inappropriate kitty pictures I give your blog a 10!1
Love that tofu, even though it’s more red than black! Your blog brightens my day and there’s nothing you could do to make it better. Love is… never having to change your bloggie?

Your blog is fabulous!
Sorry the tofu didn’t blacken.
Hehe. Erin, you are too funny.
And yesss, I will praise your blog as I please!! :] You girls are amazing, and I look forward to every single post! My only suggestion is to blacken your tofu a little better next time :] Hehe, okay, I’m just kidding again!
The picture of your dinner made me giggle. I love that the date had its own little dish… how cute!
In my opinz … your blog is kick-ass just the way it is! Keep up the fab bloggie, ladies!!
Gorgeous vegan eats! Lotsa luvs!!
I was just wondering if your weight has gone up or down or stayed the same since going vegan. Also, I am engaged to a MEAT EATER man and because I have an eating disordered past he worries about me. I am recovered, but still eat healthy and am somewhat of a “flexitarian” i.e. meat has never been my main part of a meal – would much rather fill up on veggies, beans, etc. I was just wondering how your husband reacts to your eating decisions and if it is ever a source of arguments, etc? I don’t mean to pry, but I know with me it’s sometimes hard for him to understand that I feel better when I eat these foods and I truly don’t like junk/crap/processed foods. I think he thinks I don’t “let myself” have those foods… but when you eat “clean” your body truly doesn’t crave them. Anyways just wondering your thoughts on that. Thanks ~ Lauren
Super yummy breakfast tortilla!! I am SO FREEKING JEALOUS of your weather!!!!!!!!
Also your nap time sounds heavenly…I miss naps (in college) they were the best things ever!!!
haha – sorry about the “not so blackened” tofu…next time! anyways, dont change a thing, i heart your blog, its the perfect combo of sassy fun writing, while giving good tips for food/cooking/healthy living. plus the gym motivation is nice but not overbearing. i love hearing about your daily adventures
lauren – That’s a very good question and I appreciate you asking! I am one of those rare, lucky women whose husband doesn’t analyze my diet at all. He is supportive in every decision I’ve ever made. There is literally no one like him on this earth. Everyone else has an opinion, right? I think he really trusts me. As for my weight, I really don’t know. I haven’t weighed myself this year.
Good luck with you and your future hub.
You guys have a great blog! It’s always one of my daily reads!
